Members of the public may drop off canned goods at the United Way Tent on the square during Oktoberfest 11 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Saturday.

The first 40 people to donate 10 lbs of food or a $10 donation will receive a chili cook-off ticket.

Food donations made Saturday go towards supporting the following local food pantries: New Life Ministries in Sullivan, Moultrie County C.E.F.S., First Christian Church of Bethany, and Christ’s Pantry at the Christian Church in Lovington.

Other drop-off locations between now and Oct. 19 include the Sullivan fire and police departments.
