One of the organized drives was put on by IBEW 292 in Brooklyn Park. It was a contactless drive-thru for those in need of a fresh meal right now. They had 1,300 free boxed-up meals of produce and milk jugs to give out. A long line of cars formed and wrapped around the IBEW 292 building Saturday morning.
