A big boost for McLean County food pantries thanks to the Bloomington-Normal Jaycees annual Can-A-Thon. The group says it collected 20,000 pounds of food this year. Earlier this month volunteers drove 78 routes collecting your bags of food throughout the twin cities. Kroger also helped by putting out donation box.
McLean County food pantries provide an average of 3,600 meals to needy families each week.
