Crater’s Local Distribution Program

What is the Local Distribution Program?

Crater’s Local Distribution Program distributes free at-home COVID-19 test kits and emergency food boxes at each of our local health departments who face limitations accessing food and COVID-19 tests. The program partners with Feed More, who provides the emergency food boxes and works with those in need of long-term food assistance.

          

Who is Eligible?

Any resident or employee of the following cities and counties: Dinwiddie, Emporia/Greensville, Hopewell, Petersburg, Prince George, Surry, and Sussex are eligible for COVID-19 test kits and food boxes monthly. Those requesting food boxes must need food.

What is in an Emergency Food Box?

Food boxes are non-perishable and include rice, beans, pasta, pasta sauce, canned meat, canned vegetables, canned fruit, cereal, and milk.
