We are committed to feeding as many mouths as possible and hope that the community sees the impact they are making when they drop off a food item,” said David and Ken Kocon, brothers and co-owners of PODS Lexington. “To have the public come together and support those in need is a great step in helping end hunger in our community.” God’s Pantry Food Bank feeds 1 in 7 Kentuckians through its network of more than 270 member agencies and its own direct service programs. The Fayette County Pantry Program, operated by God’s Pantry Food Bank, provides a 7 – 10 day supply of groceries to an average of 1,750 families each month. “Recently with reductions in the supply of federal commodities and other donated sources of food, support is needed like never before to assure that all Kentuckians have access to the nutrition needed to fuel their bodies,” said Marian Guinn, CEO of God’s Pantry Food Bank. “The support of Clear Channel’s radio listeners made tangible through their donation of nonperishable food will go a long way in meeting the needs of hungry families in December.
