ATTENTION DONORS: Read About the Difference You are Making! Meet 78-Year-Old Virginia!

It is so encouraging to hear the positive impact FAKH is making in the lives of so many individuals in Central and South Central Kentucky.  These life situations, in which I share with you, come directly from the actual clients we serve. 

Let me introduce you to Virginia!  I met Virginia at a recent food distribution.  She shares her story:

"Several years ago, I operated a food pantry (not affiliated with FAKH) out of my basement.  I enjoyed helping others very much, not realizing one day, I too, would be receiving food that way.  I am a widow of three years now and only get a small Social Security check, barely enough to make ends meet.  One day about 6-8 weeks ago, a friend of mine told me about the monthly food distributions at the National Guard Armory building.  I have really enjoyed coming here.  You can't believe how it helps me; things I could never buy myself.  If this were not a resource for me, I would do without a lot of things.  I thank God for Feeding America, Kentucky's Heartland."
