INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles will again sponsor a holiday food drive in coordination with food banks across the state.

Collection boxes will be placed in all 140 license branches from Tuesday through Dec. 24.

BMV Commissioner Ron Stiver says the agency is encouraging everyone who visits a branch to bring in non-perishable food items to support the needy during the holiday season.

More than 27,000 items were donated and distributed as part of last year's food drive.

This year, the AAA Hoosier Motor Club and Environtest, the state's emission testing contractor for Lake and Porter Counties, also will collect food items at some of their locations.

The items will be distributed to 11 food banks across the state.
