Thanksgiving is upon us and Veterans Day is just about two weeks behind us, but Emporia Main Street is still soliciting donations for its Soldier Care Package drive.
Main Street Director Casey Woods says preparations continue.
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.
Monetary donations are also encouraged to help offset shipping costs.
The drive ends Nov. 30. Donations will go to soldiers currently serving in Jordan and Kuwait. For more information, call 620-340-6430 or go online to emporiamainstreet.com.
