From the Belleville News-Democrat: "Churches gather tons of food," by Maricella Miranda--
Six metro-east churches Tuesday collaborated to collect 32,000 pounds of donated food for people and area food banks.More than 20 volunteers from the churches gathered at New Life Community Church in East St. Louis to unload the food, which was donated by metro-east grocery stores.
The food will be distributed Saturday at six locations. The distribution sites will be in Alton, Cahokia, East St. Louis, Granite City and Washington Park. Any food not passed out that day will be donated to area food banks throughout the year.
