The notice on the door of the Lowndes County WIC Distribution Center had some good news for Carli Hankey of New Hope.
Next month, the drive time to pick up her monthly allowance of food provided by the federal program will be cut in half, as distribution moves from the current site near the Columbus city limits on Highway 45 to a new, albeit temporary, location at 930 Tuscaloosa Road.
Pick-ups will end at the current location on Sept. 25 with the new location open for pick-ups on Oct. 5.
