Clark County volunteers collected 210,000 pounds of food for the 40th annual Walk & Knock, the nation’s largest one-day food drive.

This year, organizers mailed 206,000 bags to homes across Clark County to fill with nonperishable foods and toiletries. On Saturday, about 2,000 volunteers collected the bags of food and items, which will be donated to the Clark County Food Bank.
