In honor of National 4-H Day of Service, representatives of Menard County 4-H kicked off a food drive today at County Market in Petersburg. All proceeds will go to food pantries in Menard County. Cashiers at County Market will continue to accept donations for sponsorship of $5 or $10 food bags at the check-out lanes, or cash donations at the front counter, through Thursday, May 3. Plenty of time to support the cause if you didn’t get the chance Saturday morning! Your support in helping 4-H fill the shelves of local food pantries is appreciated!
