DOH-Putnam partnered with the St. Johns River State College and United Way on Father's Day for a county-wide food and mask distribution effort. The event assisted over 300 households facing food insecurities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Residents remained in their vehicles, receiving over 50 pounds of food, including fresh fruit and vegetables. Events of this nature strengthen the overall safety net throughout Putnam County. #FLHealth #LiveWellPutnam
