An event scheduled for MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) distribution to Springfield, Vermont has been delayed due to a supply shortage, reports WCAX.
The event originally set for Monday was pushed to Wednesday when the supply of MRE’s ran out. The event is organized by the VT Food Bank, FEMA, and the National Guard. Springfield was one of first three locations set for deliveries, with supplies running out at each of the first two.
According to the VT Food Bank, the delay will not affect future distribution events. People will reportedly still be allowed to grab food for others in need, and supplies will not be rationed.
When picking up food, those in the car will tell personnel how many people they are receiving food for, and the VT National Guard will load their vehicle.
