The Taylorville Kiwanis Club, in cooperation with HSHS Medical Group Taylorville and the Taylorville Food Pantry, recently collected paper supplies and gave them to the Taylorville School District, to assist teachers in their efforts to keep students healthy.

Several boxes and containers of paper supplies donated include antibacterial wipes, napkins, Kleenex, and Lysol wipes.
