residents in quarantine or isolation as part of the Isolation and Quarantine Food Security Program.
The Isolation and Quarantine Food Security Program, established by the Massachusetts COVID-19 Command Center and the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA), helps local municipalities bring food to those in need.
As part of the program, Chief Benjamino and the Town of Middleborough will order boxes of food using an online system, and will be responsible for delivering the shelf-stable food boxes to households on an as-needed basis.
“This is a great and much needed program that will assist many of our residents, Chief Benjamino said. No one should go hungry because they are required to be in isolation or quarantine, and we’ll do whatever we can to help those in need. If we see a greater eed for deliveries, we will look toward expanding the program throughout town as well.
