After receiving $10,000 from Duke Energy to help with food distribution in Clay County, Brazil officials have decided what the next step is for the funds. 

The town received the funds to help families that lost food following storms at the end of June and will be used to supply meat for an event on Aug. 15. 

On that date, officials will distribute hamburger and hams from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Forest Park Pavillion. 

Brazil officials are spending $6,000 for hamburger and $4,000 for hams to help families and individuals who lost food, low income families and senior citizens. 

Those attending must have identification and proof of residency.
