Fresh Food for Kids
2025-2026 Drive-Thru Distribution Calendar
We are aware that some families in our TUSD school community may be losing SNAP benefits in November. We want to remind you that the TUSD Family Resource Center has a partnership with Second Harvest of the Greater Valley that supports both a Food Pantry and a Drive-Thru Food Distribution. On Thursday, November 6, we will have a food distribution from 9:00 to 10:30 AM at Dutcher Middle School. It is first-come, first-served.
A few reminders:
- Cars will not be allowed to line up in the school pick-up line before 8:30 AM.
- Only one food box will be distributed per car.
- No walk-ups will be allowed. Arrangements for those with transportation issues must be made in advance. Call the Family Resource Center at (209) 667-0632 Ext. 2304.
- This program is for families with students in TUSD schools.
The FRC Food Pantry is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Our address is 1574 E. Canal Drive, West Wing 5, Turlock, CA.
Save the dates for our November Fresh Food for Kids distributions:
