The Taylorville Ministerial Association has a groundbreaking ceremony for a new building they are planing on putting up in September. This ceremony will take place on September 19th, at the corner of East Main and Water Street. Patty Hornbuckle, CEO of the Greater Taylorville Chamber of Commerce, said the building will be a new food pantry in Taylorville to serve the people of the city, and will include a certified kitchen.

Hornbuckle said the 2,400 square feet of this building will be used to stock food on shelves and in refrigerators, as well as to make sure the children in the area don't have to go without food during summer months.
