3/5/14 - Livingston County has a track record of helping one another out and The Salvation Army of Livingston County says it has proved that once again by helping to refill its food pantry. In early February, local Corps put out a community call for food and monetary donations to help re-stock the bare shelves of its food pantry. Lt. Tim Perkins says the needs of those they serve is greater than ever and thanked all of the individuals, companies and organizations in the community who gave generously to help with their needs and filling the pantry. A number hosted drives that brought in well over 2,000 pounds of food. According to the Livingston County Hunger Council, there are 23,770 people that are food in-secure. With so many in need, it takes a lot of community collaboration to help and The Salvation Army of Livingston County says it was able to assist more than 2,000 of those food in-secure individuals in 2013.
