Back again for another year, the Hamilton County Food Pantry welcomes the 18th annual 10/11 Can Care-A-Van.
This event, sponsored by Black Hills Energy and JBS is set to collect a large amount of nonperishable goods from around the community to help those in need.
“Our goal for this year's Can Care-A-Van at the pantry is 30,000 pounds of food,” said co-coordinator of the event and pantry board member Kathy Ramsour. “Cash donation are recorded as 2 pounds for each $1 donated. Cash donations are appreciated as they support the purchase of needed items. Those purchases are made through local merchants.”
