Saline County, Arkansas – In order to raise awareness and help those in need in Saline County, on Saturday, a number of churches and non-profits came together.
Food drive took place outside the First United Methodist Church on Market Street in Benton.

“We appreciate everybody that has come out today to support the people of Saline county who have trouble supporting themselves,” Bob McDaniels of Outside the Walls Ministry says.
