There are a lot of caring people who populate the Tolono area. Pam Steele can vouch for that.
The Tolono resident has collected food items for the past several years for the less fortunate. She has asked that people who wish to donate put items in totes that she keeps on her front porch. Steele then takes the non-perishable food to The Giving Place in Tolono that is operated by the townâs United Methodist Church.
The Giving Place serves the Unit 7 school district, which includes Tolono, Sadorus, Philo, Sidney and Pesotum. But it is only open from 4-6 p.m. Wednesdays, so Steele felt she would help by having her house serve as a collection point.
