SOUTHERN ILLINOIS — United Way of South Central Illinois shared some happy news for our area.

According to Executive Director Natalie Shook, they’ve received a huge food donation from Henkels & McCoy, a leading infrastructure construction firm.

Shook says this major contribution will have a significant impact on United Way’s efforts to combat food insecurity within our region, specifically in Jefferson, Marion, and Washington counties.

Henkels & McCoy donated a variety of non-perishable food items, including essentials like flour, sugar, juice, applesauce, peanut butter, jelly, and an assortment of canned foods.
