Flesor’s Candy Kitchen will be accepting Christmas candy orders from Sullivan, Moultrie County, and surrounding county residents this year from now through November 16. Usually the fundraiser is held at Cathrine’s Gallery but due to COVID-19 they are taking mail orders instead of holding an in-person event. All Christmas candy orders will be delivered to Cathrine’s Gallery for pick up on December 16th.

Flesor’s Candy Kitchen is a soda shop, restaurant and candy store in Tuscola, Illinois that is owned and operated by sisters Ann Flesor Beck and Devon Flesor Story. They are third generation confectioners using recipes handed down by their grandfather Gus and parents, Paul and Betty.
Payment, by check or credit card, will be due with the orders and Flesor’s Candy Kitchen will write a check to the Moultrie County Food Pantry for 20 percent of total sales. “People need simple joys in their lives right now,” Devon said.
The Moultrie County Food Pantry provides non perishable foods and personal hygiene products to approximately 400 families. Families may pick up food boxes on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to Noon and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
The Food Pantry accepts donations of non perishable foods, personal hygiene products, diapers and baby wipes until 4:30 pm week days. Monetary donations are always appreciated.
