Donation

Donation—Patty Smith, principal at Central Elementary in Fairbury, accepts a check from Don Cook of the Fairbury Community Foundation. The Fairbury Rotary gave $150 and the Fairbury American Legion Post 24 gave $100 to purchase meat for the food program through Fairbury Public Schools. Every month the food program gives families with children at FPS a bag of food. Meat, however, has been absent from the bags since July and Cook spearheaded an effort to get donations to have meat included in each sack. Donations are currently being accepted to keep meat with the food bags and interested parties can contact Cook at (402) 587-1618.
