We’re just one day away from Friday night football and Sack Hunger. This week News 3 is in Benton as the Rangers host Pinckneyville.
Last week, fans helped us collect more than 2,200 items for pantries in Herrin and Carterville.
Benton resident, Ellen Colley, knows first-hand what it’s like living paycheck to paycheck.
“Some of us don’t even make it to the next paycheck and that’s why places like this really help,” said Colley.
She says getting free food at Benton-West City Ministerial Alliance has allowed her to stretch her dollars.
“If it wasn’t for this place, we just wouldn’t make it,” she said.
