MEDINA, Ohio — On Thursday morning, cars of families began lining up at the Medina County Fairgrounds just after 4 a.m. to hold their place in line to receive a box of food from Feeding Medina County's drive-thru distribution.
The organization provided a week's worth of meals to families in conjunction with the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol and the members of the National Guard assisted with the drive-thru due to volunteers forced to stay at home for health reasons.
