Taylorville Kiwanis Club collected non-perishable food and monetary donations in front of Miller Media Group studios at 918 East Park Street Saturday. 

All donations benefit the Taylorville Food Pantry. 

Kiwanis member Duane Stock says that food and monetary donations can go a long way. 

Fellow Kiwanis member Brandon Bible is collecting food for the first time as a new Kiwanis member. He asks for non-perishable food. 

Monetary donations allow the food pantry to purchase bulk amounts of non-perishable food from the Central Illinois Food Bank much cheaper than a grocery store. 

The Taylorville Kiwanis Club will host its final drive-thru donation day at studios at the Miller Media Group front parking lot, 918 East Park Street in Taylorville, this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at the Taylorville Moose Lodge. More information on the club at taylorvillekiwanis.com.
