A Facebook post says water and Meals Ready to Eat (MREs) will be distributed starting at 12 p.m. today at multiple sites in Lafayette County and the City of Oxford and will continue until supplies last.
In Lafayette County, the post lists Harmontown SO Substation at 12 CR 517; Lafayette High School at 160 Commodore Drive; Lafayette County Fire Station 3 at 22 CR 369; and Lafayette County Fire Station 12 at 1301 Highway 30.
In the City of Oxford, the post lists distribution at Britney Estates, Western Hills and the Old Army Pavilion. The post asks people to be patient and kind to staff and volunteers at each site and to share the announcement so neighbors know where to go.
MREs are self-contained, shelf-stable meals designed for use when conventional food service is not available. Community distributions of water and MREs typically provide immediate relief following service disruptions or emergencies, though the Facebook post did not specify a reason for this distribution. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
