EUREKA, Ca (KIEM) – With many people suffering from job losses due to COVID-19, feeding their families is becoming difficult.

The Salvation Army of Eureka is holding it’s first-ever, drive-thru food box distribution event on Sunday at 12 p.m.

The Eureka Corps received 400 food boxes from a neighboring Northern California Salvation Army.
