Salvation Army Holding Food Drive:

Salvation Army Holding Food Drive:

Is long.

The salvation army is holding a food drive for the first time since april.

As you can see over my shoulder here..

People are lining up to pick up items. i spoke to major mark turner here at the salvation army and he told me that there was such a high demand for items at the food drive in april... and that this time they have even more items to distribute to folks in the community in need of food.

We'll help the first 500 people that come through.

The demand was so great last time we were absolutely overwhelmed by that that demand and we do know people are still struggling.

People are getting back to work, haven't received their first checks, others are so far behind on their rent and other utilities, they are trying to catch up so if we can help with the food and keep those families in their homes and keep utilities om.

That's what we're all about, keeping people fed.

This food drive will take place until 7 p.m.

Or until items run out.

If you would like to pick up items you must bring a government issued id such as a drivers license.
