Greg and Dan speak with Marcellus Sommerville, President and CEO of the Peoria Friendship House of Christian Service, about the urgent challenges facing the local food pantry amid a growing demand for assistance.
Marcellus shares that the pantry is currently experiencing a critical shortage of food due to an unprecedented rise in need throughout the community. He emphasizes that the next few weeks will be crucial in determining how much food can be distributed to families who rely on this vital resource.
The conversation highlights the importance of community support. He outlines what items are most needed—including non-perishable foods, canned goods, pasta, peanut butter, and hygiene products—and reminds listeners that every donation, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference.
