      Hi Yvette,

      Unfortunately, Belle is not part of our service area. Mountaineer Food Bank is who you would need to contact in regards to a mobile distribution in Belle! Their phone number is: 304-634-5518.

      Hi Tammy, while Boone County is part of our service area, it is one of the counties we share with Mountaineer Food Bank. Since we share it with them, we split which programs each Food Bank is responsible for, so we do not operate our Mobile Distributions there, but they do! If you have questions or concerns about the Mobile Distribution program, please feel free to reach out to them. Their number is: 304-364-5518.
