YAKIMA, Wash. Since the pandemic began, local food banks have been feeding an unprecedented number of food-insecure families; hundreds of those families received free boxes of frozen meals Wednesday morning in Yakima.
“It’s a little bit shocking because I think a lot of us don’t realize exactly how many of our neighbors are in need of food like this,” said Nicholas Helms, director of the Salvation Army in Yakima.
The Salvation Army held its third large-scale, drive-thru food distribution during the pandemic Wednesday at State Fair Park. While the event was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m., cars were lining up at the Gate 5 entrance as early as 7 a.m.
