SESSER, IL (Evie Allen, WSIL-TV please click on the link above for the full story.  Here is an excerpt below.)

Get ready for another night of high school football and Sack Hunger. Last week, you helped us collect more than 8,000 items for pantries in Benton and Pinckneyville. Friday, News 3 will collect food in Johnston City as the Indians host the Sesser-Valier Red Devils.

Every month, around 70 families get food from the Sesser-Valier Lifeline Food Pantry. Pantry Secretary Larry Cook said that number jumps much higher during the fall to winter months.
“Especially, November and December, we may have upwards of 125 to 130,” said Cook.

“The thing that I find quite often is there will be somebody who will say, Pastor Larry could you, I’ve got a family member, I’ve got a sister, I’ve got a mother, somebody in need of prayer. Would you? And I’ll just stop and we have a word of prayer right there in the street,” added Cook.

You can find this pantry’s doors open every third Tuesday of every month from 9-11 a.m. The football game kicks off at 7 p.m Friday night.
