(KWNO)- Winona Volunteer Services will hold its first food drop of 2021 on Friday.
Executive Director Sandra Burke says the food drop will begin at 10 a.m. at the Fastenal Customer Experience Center near the intersection of Highway 61 and Pelzer St. Volunteers will direct traffic to line up along the Highway 61 frontage road facing east then exit the parking lot south on Pelzer St.
Volunteers will place up to 1,200 boxes of food in participating vehicles. The food is provided by a USDA program that buys excess food from farmers.
It’s the seventh food drop Volunteer Services has held since the start of the pandemic. Burke estimates they’ve distributed 14,000 meals through the events.
