Four Roots fresh food box distribution Wednesday
Four Roots, a locally owned and operated by women and veterans sources farm-to-table foods regionally and is creating emergency food boxes to distribute to Coeur d'Alene residents who may be facing food insecurity because of COVID-19.
COEUR d’ALENE — Free emergency food boxes will be distributed from noon to 3 p.m. Wednesday at the Altar Church, 901 E. Best Ave.
Each food box from Fo(u)r Roots will contain at least 20 pounds of fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, dairy and eggs.
Since the pandemic began, one in seven adults and one in five children have reported facing food insecurity in Idaho, said Rachael Gewock, Fo(u)r Roots president.
The event is made possible through a grant from the City of Coeur d’Alene’s U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
