Commodities Distribution

What are commodities?

​

   Commodities are a variety of food products that are       distributed to those in need. Sources include USDA,       Nevada Division Of Aging and Three Square.

More than 25% of valley residents are served each month with an average of 120 families. It ranges from 100 to 130 families. Family sizes range from 1 to 10.

Volunteers:

​​

There are an average of 20 volunteers per month and their ages range from 17 to 88. They work an average of 5 hours each packaging fruits and vegetables as needed and arranging pallets and distributing the commodities. Many commodities recipients help with the distribution.

​​

​​

With more than 4 years of service we have developed an efficient operation and are able to finish the distribution by 11:30.

​

Customers are to form a line and sign in at the thrift store. Proceed to the commodities building, get a shopping cart and push your cart thru the building to receive your commodities.

​

Commodities will be distributed on Monday, October

13th 2025 from 9:30 am until 11:30 am.
