The Salvation Army of Emporia will be busy Wednesday afternoon.
The agency has government commodity food boxes available from 1 pm until 2:30 pm, or until the boxes are all claimed. This will use a drive-thru format, with eastbound-only vehicles lining up in front of the Salvation Army Annex, 209 West Fourth. Proof of income is not required, but photo ID, family name, number of people in the household and Lyon County addresses are.
People picking up food boxes for anybody outside their immediate household must fill out a 2021 proxy form before getting in line.
For more information, call the Salvation Army at 620-342-3093.
