SYRACUSE — The Food Bank of Northern Indiana, in cooperation with The Salvation Army of Kosciusko County, will distribute food boxes to families in need from 10 a.m. to noon Wednesday, April 15, at the main entrance to Wawasee High School, 1 Warrior Path, 12659 N. Syracuse Webster Road, Syracuse.

The food bank will be a drive-through event where persons are asked to stay in their vehicles and boxes are given on a first-come, first-served basis.

This is a “bonus distribution” funded through federal funds of The Emergency Food Assistance Program.

A similar program was held Tuesday, April 7, in Warsaw, where within an hour, half of the 500 boxes of food had been distributed.

Locke said a similar event will be held at Tippecanoe Valley High School in several weeks.
