\"\"<\/a>The Foodbank will return to the Wright State University Nutter Center for a mass food distribution on Wednesday, June 10, from noon to 2 p.m.<\/p>\n

A wide variety of food, including fresh produce, will be available.<\/p>\n

Vehicles should enter the Nutter Center grounds from Col. Glenn Highway and North Fairfield Road. Food will be distributed in Lot 8 behind the Nutter Center.<\/p>\n

The Foodbank asks that families not start lining up before 10 a.m. There is a limit of two households per vehicle, and carpooling is encouraged for people who are in regular contact.<\/p>\n

Vehicles should have an empty trunk or backseat so food can be loaded safely and easily. Foodbank staff will wear masks and gloves and will use a low-touch distribution method.<\/p>\n

Any cars in line on Raider Road by 2 p.m. will be served. Anyone who is unable to get to the distribution by 2 p.m. is welcome to visit The Foodbank drive-thru at 56 Armor Place in Dayton on Thursday, June 11, from 10 a.m. to noon.<\/p>\n

For the last six years, Wright State has partnered with The Foodbank to host a mass distribution at the Nutter Center. During a food distribution event at the Nutter Center in April, the Foodbank served 1,381 households, the organization’s largest food distribution in its history.<\/p>\n

Wright State employees regularly volunteer at The Foodbank, including during We Serve U Day, a university-sponsored program that encourages staff and faculty to volunteer in the community.<\/p>\n

More assistance available<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Foodbank’s drive-thru will be open to distribute food on June 8 to June 11 from 10 a.m. to noon at 56 Armor Place in Dayton.<\/p>\n

For more information, contact The Foodbank’s emergency line at 937-949-4096 or contact United Way 2-1-1 for support outside of distribution hours.<\/p>\n

Wright State students in need of emergency assistance should contact the Raider Food Pantry at 937-260-0167.<\/p>\n
