The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office wants to Lock Up Hunger this holiday season.  Lieutenant Brad Schutts of the Sheriff’s Office explains how you can help.

“We’re looking for some canned, non-perishable food items from now until December 22.  And those will be delivered sometime after that to the Salvation Army in Newton.”

Schutts says their goal is to collect 100 pounds of food by December 22.  You can make a donation at the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office in Newton weekdays from 8:30am to 4pm.  You can also make a monetary donation by writing a check to the Salvation Army.
