Commodity boxes can be picked up at the Muskingum County Fairgrounds at 1300 Pershing Road. Please enter through Gate 4 at the WEST end of the fairgrounds, follow the traffic to the North Stage to pick up your box, and exit as instructed. Gates will NOT open until 9:30 AM. Please do NOT show up early. Through traffic on Pershing Road CANNOT be disrupted. All boxes must be picked up on the assigned day during the scheduled times by the Commodity recipient OR the proxy designated on your application ONLY. You will be removed from the program if you fail to pick up your box for 2 consecutive months without contacting us with a valid reason. Please be courteous to others. All boxes are assigned. We will no longer make an ALL CALL. It is not compatible with our new system. The confirmed distribution dates for 2026 are as follows:
Pick-up is 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM (NOT before). This program has grown to over 400 boxes each month and we need your full cooperation in order to continue offering this service. Pickups MUST BE made on this day. If you or your designee are unable to pick up on the scheduled day, we must hear from you before 4:00 PM or you will be considered a "no show." Two "no shows" within a 6 month period will result in removal from the program.
Additional dates will be announced when they become available.
Be prepared to show your photo ID when you check in, this will help expedite the check-in process. Long lines and longer wait times will cause traffic congestion and we do not want to inconvenience others by blocking the roadways. Thank you for your understanding as we find better ways to serve you!
