We are sponsoring a food drive in honor of God's Pantry Food Bank to celebrate National Nutrition Month. According to the most recent data published by Feeding America®, 15.8% of Kentucky residents suffer from food insecurity. Food insecurity refers to the USDA’s measure of lack of access or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate foods for all household members. This means 699,590 Kentucky residents make trade-offs between having enough food and supporting their basic needs, such as paying for housing or medical bills. Join your Registered Dietitians in celebrating National Nutritional Month by donating non-perishable goods to provide hunger relief to Kentuckians… Or go online and make a donation to God’s Pantry Food Bank at https://give.godspantry.org/ UPDATEOur food drive in honor of National Nutrition Month and God's Pantry Food Bank was wildly successful! Every day we received more food than the last. A special thanks to the employees of Saint Joseph Hospital, whose generosity allowed us to collect an entire barrel (plus some) of shelf stable foods for the people of the Commonwealth.
