The Dixon Community Food Pantry is thankful for all cash and food donations we received in 2012.

We gave groceries to 3,579 clients, which totaled 7,038 adults and 4,660 children, for a total of 11,698. We receive no federal, county or United Fund monies, so you can see we depend on you to get us through the year.

We have no paid employees. We are very appreciative to the Lee County Board for giving us free rent, which helps in our buying supplies. We appreciate all of the food drives given by the various schools, especially Sterling Newman High School, the postal workers, the churches, corporations, bridge clubs, car show, and service organizations.
