“We are grateful to Dixie Speedway for its fifth year of coordinating a food drive to benefit MUST Cherokee food pantry clients. Each year Dixie reduces its ticket price per each adult to $5.00 with 5 cans of food for MUST. Each year we receive more and more food with 2,000 cans donated last year and this year we hope to fill our van to the ceiling! “said Must Director Kim Loesing.
