GREENVILLE, Ohio —

A semi loaded with 600 boxes and skids of food, toiletries, and drinks were off-loaded Wednesday morning at the C.A.L.L Food Pantry in Celina and the Fish Choice Pantry in Greenville at their new location at 13th Street and Markwith Ave.

The food was purchased by organizers of the pre-Prelude to the Dream fundraiser earlier this summer at Eldora Speedway.

There was enough food split between the two pantries to feed 200 families in each of the two counties they serve.

Larry Kemp from Eldora Speedway, on behalf of  track owner and Nascar driver Tony Stewart said,  "We are pround to help feed the children."
