Race proceeds benefit local food pantries

The Cass County Food Pantry and Jacksonville Food Center recently received checks for $2,282.93 each, the proceeds from last fall’s Jacksonville Memorial Hospital 5K/10K Race.

“We’re proud to continue the JMH Race legacy of giving back to the community,” said Kevin Eckhoff, race director. “Both of these organizations are seeing increased demand, so it’s rewarding to be able to help them meet the needs of families in our area.”
