The efforts of the Taylorville Food Pantry were once again successful, providing over 300 individuals with a hearty meal on Thanksgiving. The number of households served has not waned in months and activity rises during the holiday season, meaning more donations and volunteer help is needed.

Amy Hagen, Coordinator at the TFP, reports on the numbers seen in the short span of the Thanksgiving weekend and the outpouring of support seen.

The Taylorville Police Department, schools, and hospitals collected Thanksgiving items and Hagen references the Central Illinois Food Bank's New initiative, the Reverse Advent Calendar, that gives citizens items to purchase for the days in December.

Becoming a volunteer at the TFP is easy says Hagen, there are no age or skill requirements and a wide range of work to be completed.
