A local community service group will be distributing free food boxes Saturday in the Elkton Elementary School parking lot from 10 a.m. to noon or until all the boxes are distributed.

The food giveaway is part of Community RFD, the group's effort to distribute food where it is needed in rural areas. The almost two thousand pounds of food for Saturday's giveaway is from Feed America First of Murfreesboro, said a spokesman for the community group.

No questions asked or paperwork to fill out, the only requirement to pick up a food box is the need to feed your family. For more information, call 363-2595.

There are plans to distribute the food boxes once a month in different areas of the county. Listen to the WKSR news or log onto WKSR.com for the latest on the food boxes giveaway.
