Empty Pantry deliveries made Sunday, donations still needed - Maryville Daily Times

In 1952, the Empty Pantry Fund was started by several Blount Countians with a heart for feeding the hungry at Christmas. Ever since that time, the project has been supported by the Blount County Jaycees and The Daily Times as well as numerous organizations and individuals.
