Have you been shopping for those canned goods yet? Have you marked your calendar for Friday, May 2? If you haven’t... you still have time.

The “Oldies But Goodies Car Show and Social Club” is hosting its first ever canned food drive on behalf of the Llano Food Pantry. You won’t want to miss out on the fun and satisfaction of knowing you’re helping your fellow citizens.

Did you know our Llano Food Pantry serves families of all ages? These families are qualified according to income. Most of us have never wondered where our next meal is coming from. By participating in this event, you will be helping other people know that same feeling.

Each two canned goods will earn you a raffle ticket. Naturally, the more food you bring, the more chances you’ll have to win some really great prizes.

Our prize list: (so far)

• Gift basket from Tobie Hubble at “Hair Tales” beauty salon.

• An Interstate battery from Les at Inman’s Station

• $25 gift certificate from Hasse’s

• Gift from Llano Welding Supply

• Kingsland Health & Fitness has donated one month’s free membership AND ten free “day” passes
