Join us Saturday May 19th on the square for a pig roast to support Pawnee Junior Football! We'll have beer and drink specials, food, a chili cookoff, bag tournament, and music. See flyer for full details.

We will also have the Electronics Recycling truck in town the same day. It will be on the south side of the square from 12-4pm (or until it's full).
​
The company will take anything that plugs into an electric outlet for a minimal fee. T.V’s (all shapes and sizes), vacuums, microwaves, computers, monitors and the list goes on. Any questions can be directed to the Village Office at 217-625-2941.

Unfortunately, the Village had to discontinue the recycling program.  At this time, it is undetermined if we will be offering this courtesy to the public again. 

When the Village began the recycle option there weren’t many programs available to the people.  However, there are several sanitation companies who now provide recycling to the public. 

​Pawnee Village believes in the recycling process and continues to look at other options.  The Board of Trustees will look at the possibility of returning the program in our next fiscal year. 

​Mayor Clarke and the Board of Trustees are grateful the Village was able to provide the program for as long as they did.  Thank you for making it a huge success.  If you would still like to participate in recycling you can contact your sanitation provider.

The Vital Records Mobile Unit will be in town from 5-6 pm at the Pawnee Village Hall on Monday, June 11th. If you want an easy way to get a copy of a vital record (birth, death, marriage records and licenses, business name registration, raffle licenses, etc.) without making a trip to Springfield, come check it out! See flyer for complete details and what you'll need to bring with you. Questions? Call 217-753-6701.

Every day there are people in our community struggling to pay their bills and put food on their tables.  The Pawnee Food Pantry is pleased to announce that it has joined forces with the Springfield Meijer located at 4200 Conestoga Dr  to help fill the void for those in need.  

A program through Meijer, titled “Simply Give,” aims to replenish the shelves of the Pawnee Food Pantry. The campaign runs from Sunday, August 20 through Saturday, Sept. 16, 2017.  During this campaign a patron can purchase a Simply Give food donation card in increments of $10.00. 

​Customers can find cards at Meijer kiosks near the checkouts or picked up at many of the Pawnee churches, businesses and organizations (including the Village).  Cards can be redeemed at the Meijer store or leave your donation where you found the “Simply Give” donation card and the Pawnee Food Pantry will redeem at the Meijer Store on your behalf.   Purchased cards are converted into Meijer food-only gift cards and given to the Pawnee Food Pantry.  

We encourage you to help us fulfill our mission of helping feed the hungry in Pawnee by purchasing a Simply Give food donation card.  Tell your friends, relatives, neighbors and co-workers because every dollar makes a difference!  For every $10 you donate, Meijer also donates. Contact any board member if you have any questions regarding this program or other ways to support the pantry.
