Food drives are such an important thing to do in order to help out local food banks. The Miller Media Group and the Taylorville Kiwanis Club teamed up in the month of July to raise food and money for the Taylorville Food Pantry. Co-Coordinator Amy Hagen has tallied the numbers, and issues a challenge to the community for when the Drive Thru Donation Days return in September. 

Adam Handy with the Central Illinois Food Bank reminds people that they are always open for partners to run a food drive. 

Holidays are a great time to run food drives, but Handy says they are helpful any time of year. 

After collecting the food, Hagen says it’s easy to deliver it to the Taylorville Food Bank, or others. Handy reminds you to make sure the food is taken care of.

Hagen and Handy appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show.
