Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe and Native American Fellowship of the Assemblies of God to Continue Free Food Distribution

Apr 15, 2021

The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe and Native American Fellowship of the Assemblies of God are pleased to continue free food distribution each Tuesday in the Month of April. Free Food Boxes will be available for all Akwesasne community members Tuesdays April 20th and 27th from 9:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. at the former-Mohawk Bingo Palace Building located at the intersection of State Route 37 and Frogtown Road in Akwesasne, NY.

The continuation of the Free Food Box Distribution follows the successful distribution of nearly 1,300 30lb boxes Tuesday, April 13, each containing fresh fruit, milk, and other perishable items.

"This distribution allows the community to participate in the cycle of giving," explained Pastor Brent Maracle. "The food is intended to be shared with all community members. It's also great to see people helping each other and extending rides to those in need."

Tribal members may pick up their food boxes in accordance with the following requirements:

· All traffic must use the rear Frogtown Road entrance to the former-Mohawk Bingo Palace Building coming from the south to turn Right Only into the former-MBP rear entrance, circle around the rear of building to front and receive food boxes under the canopy at the front of the building. (please see SRMT website/Facebook for a map)

· Individuals must bring a Tribal Identification Card, Band Card or Nation Red Card;

· Must wear a mask while picking up and must remain in vehicle; and

· Must respect social distancing and your patience is appreciated.

This food distribution is sponsored by Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe and Native American Fellowship, in collaboration with the NY AG Ministry Network, Convoy of Hope, Farm2Table, Produce Alliance, and City Serve International.
