Bloom Township suspends free food distribution over cheese shortage
Bloom Township will end surplus federal food commodity distributions after receiving word that cheese and milk will no longer be provided. The final distribution is set for June 29, affecting elderly and disabled residents who relied on the program. Officials will redirect excess commodities to Chicago Heights through the Community Economic and Development Association. The trustees also approved a 10 year tax abatement to help attract industry, citing Enterprise Zone agreements and regional neglect.
