Alternate Distribution Sites
To help families save on gas and transportation costs the Food Pantry has alternate distribution sites at the north and south ends of Juniata County. The same rules apply at the alternate sites as at the Mifflintown location of the Food Pantry, except that households participating in these distributions will automatically receive two (2) portions of groceries (equivalent to 2 visits) at each distribution since these distributions occur only 6 times a year.
