Poshard Foundation donation will help food insecure JAL students

CARTERVILLE, Ill. (KFVS) – A donation made by the Poshard Foundation will help make sure that no John A. Logan College student goes hungry.

The Poshard Foundation donated $1,250 to the John A. Logan College Snack Locker, which provides on-the-go items, microwavable meals, and drinks for students, so they can focus on academics.

The donation follows a poetry fundraiser by the Poshard Foundation that raised more than $125,000 for food pantries in southern Illinois.

“An additional $14,000 has been donated recently, and we are distributing funds to the pantries that are in greatest need right now,” former congressman Glenn Poshard said. “We had good turnouts at most of the places where we had readings; those were places where the local pantries got the word out, and people came and responded generously.”
