Carts to collect food, money for pantry during fair parade

LIMA — For the third year, Forest Park United Methodist Church will push grocery carts as part of the Allen County Fair Parade, which will be held starting at 9:45 a.m. Saturday in downtown Lima.

Church members will use the carts to collect non-perishable food items and monetary donations for the Churches United Pantry, which provides food to needy Lima families. All donations will go directly to the pantry at the end of the parade.
