Free Apple Distribution Event Brings Community Together in Ranson
This article from *The Journal* highlights a successful apple distribution event held at the Ranson Civic Center, organized by local agencies, including the Jefferson County Extension Office and Community Markets Inc. Amid an apple surplus in West Virginia, the USDA purchased $10 million worth of apples to support both local growers and those in need. With around 700 bushels of locally grown varieties like red delicious and fuji delivered from Kilmer’s Farm Market, the initiative not only provided fresh food to residents but also aided local producers. The event's efficient organization and community outreach underscore the collaboration among local organizations for food relief.
