Following several months of fluctuating attendance at the Taylorville Food Pantry, October reports reveal a significant impact: 529 families received essential supplemental food assistance, of those, 66 families visited the pantry for the first time. Pam Moses, Coordinator at the TFP has the holiday months on her mind and looks to drum up donations and volunteers to support those dependent on the extra help.

The community shows up time and time again says Moses, an almost 3,000-pound donation that came from a Taylorville High School trick-or-treat event. Moses mentions more organizations that have gotten involved in the effort as well.

And Moses reminds those hitting the stores with the intention of purchasing their holiday meal items, to consider purchasing double of a given item to then donate to the pantry.
