Food from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farmers to Families (F2F) Food Box Program will be distributed to those in need in Minot on Friday and again June 26.

The distribution will be held in the north parking lot of the Minot State University Dome from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. and will return at the same time and location on June 26. Cars may begin lining up one hour prior to the start of each distribution.
