VFW Post 2166 and the Post Auxiliary are partnering with Second Harvest Food Bank to hold a food distribution event for veterans and their families in need of assistance. The event will take place on Friday, Nov. 8, at 2 p.m. at the VFW Post located at 2001 West Elk Ave., Elizabethton.

Veterans attending the distribution are asked to ensure there is space in their trunk for the food box and to pop their trunk upon arrival in the line. Volunteers will load the food box directly into their vehicle to maintain a contact-free process, protecting the health of all involved.

To help ensure enough food boxes are prepared, Second Harvest has requested an approximate count of attendees. Those planning to attend are encouraged to sign up by calling David Batchelder at the Carter County Veterans Service Office at 542-1824.
