The Taylorville Food Pantry will be receiving much needed donations of non-perishable food and money through the Taylorville Kiwanis Club’s drive-thru donation day. It took place in front of our studios on Saturday at 918 East Park in Taylorville. Kiwanis members Joe Hauser and Larry Kemner supervised the table and accepted donations.
Joe Hauser says they received plenty of donations and that contributing to the cause is easy for anyone to do.
The need in the community is high, especially as the school year reaches its end. This is because kids who receive school meals at a low cost during the school year will not have that safety net during the summer. Larry Kemner says he has seen the need firsthand.
The Taylorville Food Pantry, the Taylorville Kiwanis Club, and The Miller Media group thank all those who contributed to the drive-thru donation day.
There will be five more donation days this year. They are scheduled for May 31, July 12 and 26, and September 13 and 27.
Joe Hauser and Larry Kemner appeared as guests on the Retro Request Show on Genuine Country 94.3 WMKR and on the Saturday Request Show on Groovy 97.3 WRAN.
The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of 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. For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
