the Lincoln/Logan County Food Pantry every Sunday throughout
Lent.  Just bring a non-perishable food item and enjoy food
and/or drink specials during NASCAR races and college
basketball.

They will also be having a 50/50 drawing – guess the total
pounds of food collected, winner to be announced on Sunday,
March 29, with the balance of the proceeds going to the Food
Pantry.

Their goal is to collect 200 pounds of food for the Food Pantry,
