The Miller Media Group and the Taylorville Kiwanis Club are teamed again to benefit the Taylorville Food Pantry by doing Drive Thru Donation Days the first three Saturdays in December. The goal was to collect non-perishable food and monetary donations to be given to the Taylorville Food Pantry.

Kiwanis members Bill Kerns and Will Perkins were the ones taking donations most recently. They were able to raise $1500, as well as a truckful of food donations, that was given to the Taylorville Food Pantry. Kerns says they were very busy with donations, even before the event technically began.

The community came out in bunches to support this cause. Perkins explained that they were having trouble fitting everything in the truck.

Saturday saw a fantastic amount of donations, both in terms of food and money, and Kerns talked about the impact that all these donations have.

This past Saturday was the final Drive Thru Donation Day benefiting the Taylorville Food Pantry. If you’d like information on how to donate, visit the Taylorville Food Pantry Facebook page.
