McDonough city officials have announced a collaboration with the McDonough Lions Club to provide fresh produce for area residents. A USDA Farmers to Families Box Distribution site will be in operation Saturday, June 13, 11 a.m.-1 p.m. in the parking lot of McDonough High School, 100 Postmaster Drive. There is limited availability, with one box allowed per family, and the event will conclude once all of the boxes have been distributed. Participating residents will be directed to drive up to a station where a volunteer will load the box directly into the vehicle. Each box is approximately 20 pounds, and organizers expect to distribute 1,920 boxes containing locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables. Specific items depend upon availability.
