The Salvation Army of Eureka is hosting a drive-thru food box distribution at its Tydd Street location from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday to help those in need during the COVID-19 outbreak.

A news release states 400 boxes will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis and individuals are asked to bring identification. The idea of the drive-thru is to help โ€œensure the safety of clients, employees and volunteers amid the pandemic,โ€ according to the Salvation Army.

โ€œThe Salvation Armyโ€™s mission is to meet human need without discrimination,โ€ the release states. โ€œWhen this crisis began, the nonprofit stepped up its services to help those most vulnerable. Providing food has been a main part of that response.โ€

The Salvation Army of Eureka is located at 2123 Tydd St. For more information, click here or call 442-6475.
