Local High School Groups
American Heritage girls and Trail Life boys stop by regularly to help us with big jobs like packaging cereal cups and chip bags. We are so thankful for their help!
Take a look at our new after-hours box, built by Andrew & friends as his Eagle Scout project. Providing a resource for many everyday, the box is a godsend.
Thanks to Carter and Jackson for bringing in birthday cake kits to share! What a fun way to love your neighbors!
We are thankful for generosity of our gardening friends. Parker and Mia brought in over 250 pounds of sweet corn to share!
Jack took on a big project that provided a whole holiday meal to around 80 families. He presented his idea to several merchants and lots of people, conducted several fund raisers to make the vision happen, assembled the boxes with the help of his family and supporters, and delivered them to the food bank for distribution. He said he learned not to be afraid to ask for help when big work needs to be done!

First United Bank is such an awesome supporter in the community! In addition to their support of our Run for the Hungry, they also donated some of their Friday jeans money to Christian Food Bank, and held a food drive .
The Young's Movie Event at Golden Ticket Cinemas
Look at all of the amazing donations that Golden Ticket Cinemas Capitol 8 collected at the Young's Christmas movie event. Bill & Nadine Young sponsored a community movie, and the theater shared popcorn with all who brought in food to share with their neighbors. What a blessing!
Thanks to our friends at Baptist Health Deaconess Madisonville for a big food drive during the holidays. We also appreciate the proceeds from your t-shirt fund raiser that provided ground beef, sausage, chicken, 40 eggs, and peanut butter, as well as additional funds for the purchase of other perishable goods.
Thank you to everyone at Owensboro Health for the big food drive and company donations that blessed so many of our neighbors. Thanks, too, for your ongoing Community Health Grants that are making a difference in our area!
United Way in Action!
The crew from United Way of the Coalfield brought in donations from organizations and businesses all over town. This beautiful collective effort brought in a whopping 750 pounds of food. Thanks to EVERYONE who donated & pitched in to help our neighbors!
