The DeKalb Corn Fest board recently presented a $3,500 check to Barb Food Mart as the recipient of funding from the 2023 festival.

Barb Food Mart is a food pantry that serves 250 families every week at its Garden Street location and another 250 families out of two satellite pantries located at DeKalb High School and Malta Elementary School, according to a news release.

For every $1 the pantry receives, it is able to buy $8 worth of food for families.
