Shelves pretty bare at Illinois Valley Food Pantry

The Illinois Valley Food Pantry could really use your help right about now.

Pantry workers put out a message Monday that the “pantry really needs some help right now.” One reason is because government commodities or help to the pantry has fallen off.

The pantry in downtown La Salle could especially use canned goods like green beans, corn, soup and “SpaghettiO’s.” The pantry is open from 9 until noon Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and from 11 until 6 on Wednesdays.
