EDWARDSVILLE Food pantries are benefitting from donations made by Madison County employees this holiday season.
“Our employees collected 2.5 tons of canned goods and other non-perishable foods this month to donate to local food pantries,” Chairman Kurt Prenzler said.
Prenzler said because of COVID-19, the annual door-to-door Scouting for Food collection event was unable to take place. He said that Tina Barnard, a board member with the Glen-Ed Food Pantry contacted the county to see if the county would be interested in holding the food drive.
