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.

Most of the truck's 24 pallets go to community pantries
