Food Distribution Sponsored by CCANO, Second Harvest, St. Charles Parish Government, Salvation Army, National Guard and St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office taking place on May 21 in Luling

CCANO is partnering with Second Harvest, St. Charles Parish Government, Salvation Army, National Guard and St. Charles Parish Sherrif's Office to host a Food Distribution on Thursday, May 21 at 9AM.  The Food Distribution will take place at the Dufresne Center, located at 274 Judge Edward Dufresne Parkway in Luling, 70070. 

 Since COVID-19 pandemic and the Stay and Home Order, many people are struggling to receive paychecks and purchase much needed essentials like food. 

Recipients may begin arriving at the Dufresne Center parking lot for the distribution at 9AM.

Recipients will be required to remain in their vehicles with windows rolled up during the event.

Food Distribution will be limited to drive-through recipients only and the distribution will be limited to one household per vehicle.

Recipients are asked to place a laundry basket, a box, or medium sized ice-chest in their vehicle trunk to accept the food items to be distributed.

It has estimated that there will be enough food to distribute to 600 vehicles.  We will distribute food until we run out. 

We are so appreciative to partner with St. Charles Parish Government, Salvation Army, National Guard and St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office to help those in the community!
