Approximately 180 area families took part June 12 in the mobile food pantry in Diamond, which Geo's Pizza sponsored. The Christian Youth Center of Morris provided additional volunteers.

With 8,385 pounds of food delivered, each household received approximately 57 pounds of food, including 10 pounds of frozen meat and a wide variety of other items, including lettuce, cucumbers, frozen pizza, cheese, barbecue sauce and bread.

"This was the second year in a row where pizzas have been part of the mobile pantry and Geo's Pizza was the sponsor," noted Denise Gaska, executive director of We Care of Grundy County, which coordinates the mobile pantry visits. "It's fun watching Larry and Sue Tarman of Geo's Pizza be able to give away free pizzas thanks to their generous donation."
