Organizers with Jeep'n on the Coosa, which was held on Saturday, Oct. 2 at the Wetumpka Sports Complex, presented The Elmore County Food Pantry with a check for $3,200 on Thursday, Oct. 14. According to the Director of the Elmore County Food Pantry Kathy Hall, monetary donations like this go a long way at the Food Pantry.

"This means so much for us because, for every $20 we receive, we can purchase 111 pounds of food," Hall said. "Can goods are great, but the monetary part of that allows us to go to the Montgomery Area Food Bank and purchase so much more."
