Volunteers carry food boxes distributed to local families Wednesday through the international Feed the Children program. A truckload of food was delivered to the South Kitsap School District food service center on Madrona Drive, and the 400 recipient families selected from all SKSD schools picked up food boxes there. Volunteers from the school district, South Kitsap Fire & Rescue and the Port Orchard Police Department helped in the distribution.
