MOUNT GAY, W.Va. â Over $40,000 in food was given out for free to local citizens during a food giveaway event at Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College on Friday, March 26.
The giveaway was a result of a partnership between SWVCTC and the USDAâs Farmers to Families food box program, which was created in April 2020 as part of a federal food assistance initiative after the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic. Approximately 1,200 boxes of food â each containing items like meat, milk, cheese, sour cream, onions, potatoes and apples â were distributed across the collegeâs campuses in Logan, Boone, Mingo and Wyoming counties.
