Emporia Main Street’s Soldier Care Package drive is now underway.
Director Casey Woods says soldiers overseas are looking for at least some of the comforts of home.
Books, non-perishable food, flavor packets for drinking water, powdered drink mixes, disposable cameras, 100-percent cotton clothing and other items are all welcomed through the end of November. Residents can drop off items at the Main Street office, 727 Commercial.
