SPRINGFIELD – Busy food pantries in central and southern Illinois will have enough sanitizer handy for a while.
U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Taylorville) helped arrange the donation and delivery of more than 2,300 bottles of hand sanitizer, manufactured by Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis. The local distributor, Skiff, hauled the pallet to Central Illinois Food bank Tuesday afternoon.
Food bank executive director Pam Molitoris said some pantries are seeing an increase in traffic and some are not; however, 25 percent of the clients now are first-timers, which she says is significant.
