The Taylorville Food Pantry and the Central Illinois Food Bank go the extra mile during the holiday months to provide meals for families in need. The Taylorville Food Pantry has been serving over 500 families a month for the past six months and with Thanksgiving around the corner, donations will be making the holidays as special as they should be.

Pam Moses with the Taylorville Food Pantry says the pantry will be teaming up with the Taylorville Police Department. Moses says the donations look to be accepted on November 23rd, the Thursday before Thanksgiving.

Brooke Dunn, Public Relations manager for the Central Illinois Food Bank provided a list to spark inspiration for Thanksgiving donations.

The success of the Taylorville Food Pantry could not be attained without the constant aid from the community, says Moses.

The Taylorville Food Pantry is located at 1429 East Main Cross Street in Taylorville.

Pam Moses and Brooke Dunn appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show.
