McLean County's jail, nursing home, juvenile lock-up and animal shelter recently received a windfall of condiments and baked beans and pet food.
That's what was left as inventory in the More for Less store on west Market Street that wound up closing. County government took ownership of the non-perishable food that hadn't expired toward settlement of a $150,000 loan to former owner Tom Boitnott.
Administrator John Zuenik says the leftovers amounted to about $2,600, minus about $500 worth of food given to the Midwest Food Bank.

Boitnott has filed for bankruptcy and the inventory was what was allowed as payment under terms.
