FRANKLIN COUNTY – Sheriff Bill Overton and the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office are helping residents with food delivery. Partnering with local growers and in conjunction with United Way of Franklin County, when a surplus of vegetables are brought to United Way, Franklin County Sheriff’s Office assists in distributing.

“The United Way of Franklin County collects fresh, donated produce from local gardeners and due to a short shelf life, these items need to be distributed quickly. The Office of The Sheriff steps in, when possible, and helps deliver this produce throughout the county.” Sheriff Overton said on Monday.
