CHAMPAIGN -- Fall is coming to a close and a local farm is giving its leftover crop to a good cause. The Great Pumpkin Patch of Arthur donated more than four tons of squash and other vegetables to Salt and Light Ministries.

People could pick them up at Wednesday night's food distribution. They could also get a lesson in cooking the veggies. Salt and Light will give away the vegetables every Monday and Wednesday until they run out.
