Union County, NJ The Union County Board of County Commissioners advises residents impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic that emergency food supplies will be distributed at three sites in August. Any Union County resident needing COVID-19 emergency food supplies can come to any these events.

Free COVID-19 vaccinations and tests will also be available to all Union County residents at these sites.

We strongly encourage any resident who needs a COVID-19 vaccination or test to use any of our free locations throughout Union County, said Commissioner Chairman Alexander Mirabella.

We are making progress in the fight against COVID-19 and emerging variants but our residents continue to face housing issues, food insecurity and unemployment, said Commissioner Sergio Granados who also serves as Liaison to the Human Services Advisory Board.
