INTERVIEW WITH SENATOR PAUL FARACI:
With the help of contributions of food and Valentine cards from Danville High’s Future Problem Solvers team and Student Council, this event made for a very special day for Cannon Place veterans.Following the 2021-2022 Valued Vets project by the Future Problem Solvers, their team would like to remind readers that Cannon Place and all facilities that are reliant on food donations struggle to maintain their stock outside of the holiday season. It is important that we continue to support these facilities with donations year-round. Freezer items like pizzas, pot pies, and other freezer meals are favorites at Cannon Place and are always needed. If you would like to donate to Cannon Place, you can learn more by contacting (217) 703-1583.
