A semi-truck with 40,000 pounds of food is headed for northern Nevada pantries, including Carson City's

If you rely on a food pantry, or help at one, more groceries are coming. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will deliver a semi-truck with about 40,000 pounds of food to Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada later this week as part of the America 250 commemoration. The truck didn't arrive Monday because of a scheduling error.

In Carson City, the Salvation Army, FISH and the Northern Nevada Dream Center are on the receiving list.

• Feeds: about 1,400 people for a week, per a news release
• Thanksgiving baskets: about 2,000 go out in 10 days
• Volunteers: Catholic Charities is always welcoming new ones
