The Taylorville Food Pantry is always working to help keep its shelves stocked, and one of its programs is celebrating a historic milestone.  Pam Moses, Co-director of the Taylorville Food Pantry says that the food rescue program has went over 1 million pounds. The rescue program which saves food that grocery stores can’t use, has been a tremendous asset for the Taylorville Food Pantry. 

There are between 375 and 525 homes in any given month that need help at the Taylorville Food Pantry every month, and the food rescue program rescues food from going to the local landfill but it goes so much further. 

The needs stay consistent and one area where the food pantry always needs help is with fruits and vegetables, so Moses says if you have an extra item from your garden, maybe consider dropping it off to the Food Pantry.

Moses says that there is usually someone there most days for drop-offs.
