The Upper East Tennessee Human Development Agency (UETHDA) will have their Commodity Distribution Tuesday, June 20th at Eastview Recreation Center on 456 East Bernard Avenue in Greeneville.
The distribution will begin at 9:30 AM and will end at 12 PM or earlier if food is no longer available. Items will be distributed through a drive-thru option on a first come, first served basis, to income eligible households until all commodities are gone. This will provide for the safety of recipients as well as the volunteers and staff. Recipients must be residents of Tennessee. This project is funded under an agreement with the Tennessee Department of Agriculture.
