The Kewanee Food Pantry is reporting a sharp rise in families turning to them for help, leading to critically low shelves. To meet this growing demand, the pantry is urgently seeking contributions from the community. Most needed items include canned meats, vegetables, peanut butter, jelly, pasta, cereal, toiletries, and paper goods. Residents willing to donate can bring these items directly to the pantry at 924 Rose Street in Kewanee. The Kewanee Food Pantry is open on Tuesdays from 10 AM to 2 PM and on Thursdays from 3 to 6 Local organizers stress that every donation, no matter the size, helps support struggling families in the area and keeps the pantry operational during this busy season.
