Fish Food Pantry is a local pantry that provides food to residents of Knox County. Those who are in emergency situations can visit the pantry during business hours Monday through Friday from 10:00am to 3:00pm. Fish Food Pantry provides nutritional meals during the summer to children in need. If you are looking to volunteer where you can help greet clients, procure records, pack up food orders and maintain the pantry, please call 309-341-2845. Pantry staff and current volunteers would appreciate any amount of time you could spent volunteering at their organization.
For the “Community Food Drive,” Tom Meredith made a promise to wear shorts if someone would donate $500 to the Fish Food Pantry. Office Specialists came through with the donation and we were so happy to help! Tom bared his legs for charity on December 13 at Hi-Lo Supermarket in Galesburg. Thank you Tom and we had a great time helping our community. It was wonderful to see a great turnout for such a wonderful cause!
