On my lunch break today I went to God's Pantry's program "Food for Thought" that is done on the…read moresecond Thursday of each month. They give you a free box lunch, a presentation of their programs, and a brief tour of the warehouse. I had been to God's Pantry before to volunteer, but this presentation really opened my eyes to everything that they are able to accomplish and how they work to supply faith based and other partner agencies in 50 counties. They feed 200,000 people a year. For every $1 you donate, they are able to distribute 8 meals. With only 50 full time employees, I am very impressed with how efficient this organization is. It was also very interesting to find out where all of the food comes from, for example our local Kroger and Walmart donates bread, meat, and other items that can be frozen on their sell by date. God's Pantry is also committed to giving out healthy foods-their goal is 1/3 fresh produce. If you would like to come to a Food for Thought, contact Alice Rogers, the Development Coordinator, at (859) 288-5322. They don't ask you for donations on the spot, but provide you information packets to take with you.

I've been going to Pantry 279 for about the past 6 years when times were needed. I've also received…read moretheir Thanksgiving baskets which was remarkable with exactly what we needed for our Thanksgiving dinner. The efforts and work from Cindy Chavez and her team of organization of the pantry not only during the holidays but day to day living to help not only myself and my family but others as well has been outstanding with their kindness and concern about our community to help others. I have read some of the reviews that others has left and some I find astounding that they would feel the way they do only because their child didn't receive a 200-300 dollar phone for Christmas or their child's shoes was white instead of pink or black. I call things the way I see them......if ur that ungrateful for what these ppl go out of their way to do for u please save their time and efforts and not go back. And let them give ur gifts to a child who will be glad to get them. Cindy and her team of VOLUNTEERS works hard to do what they do so please be considerate to them and be happy for what u get. With this being said.........show them all some kindness, smiles and a kind word are all free! I love and appreciate y'all at Pantry 279 Cindy keep up the wonderful job ur doing our community needs more ppl like u!!!!!!
