News Tribune - News - Local - 12-year-old raises 6,000 pounds of food for needy

News Tribune - News - Local - 12-year-old raises 6,000 pounds of food for needy: Adam is 12 now and Monday marked his eighth semi-annual food drive. And this year, no car could hold his bounty.
Adam showed up at the Illinois Valley Food Pantry with a two-axle moving van bearing non-perishable foods stacked 3 feet high in the back. In another vehicle, workers from Hy-Vee arrived with dozens of frozen turkeys Adam purchased with the loose change people donated in lieu of food.
