During a period of high inflation, food insecurity matters can become more pronounced. A well-known Kentucky food pantry is working to ease some of that stress around the Thanksgiving table.
God’s Pantry workers along with a couple of hundred volunteers are distributing Thanksgiving food boxes this week. By the end of Tuesday, around 65 hundred households in five counties will hopefully have their holiday turkey and all the fixings. Mary Alice Daniels is Fayette County Pantry Program Manager for God’s Pantry.
“Yeah, our numbers are up about a thousand households, close to a thousand. I think a lot of that is just inflation. Too expensive to go to the grocery,” said Daniels.
