On June 17, associates of General Cable in Du Quoin hosted their 'Spring Clean Parking Lot Give-Away.' Yard sale items were donated by the company's families and made available to those in need at no charge. While being serenaded by General Cable's own DJ Mello, associates gave away donuts, hot dogs and bottled water; helped pack and carry boxes; and even delivered large items to local homes. Not much was left by noon, but those items were distributed between the Du Quoin Clothes Closet and the Salvation Army. Donations for the Du Quoin Food Pantry were accepted, and General Cable then presented a check for $335.40 to the food pantry.
