Central Illinois Foodbank is expanding its food rescue program to Christian County. The program which was launched in Springfield in September will be hosting an informational session on January 7th from 5:30-6:30 at Angelo’s Pizza at 404 West Spresser Street in Taylorville to meet the public and answer any questions that donors may have. Ashley Earnest, Public Relations Manager, says that thanks to a grant from the Walmart Foundation, Central Illinois Foodbank can reach out to more places.

Earnest says that a lot of people don’t realize how great the need is regardless of the time of year.

Earnest says that this is a good opportunity to come see how good of an opportunity this is not just for Taylorville but all of Christian County.
