For 56 years, God's Pantry has been collecting and donating food items across Central and Eastern Kentucky. In 2011, God's Pantry distributed more than 48 million pounds of food to 120 counties in Kentucky alone! Hunger is a disease that strikes more families in Kentucky than across the U.S. However, there is a cure!

Here at Turf Town, we lend a hand. On the second Friday of every month, a group of us head to the Food Bank to serve those in need. Not only is it a bonding experience for us, but we're proud to play a roll in the fight against hunger. And you can too!

Head on over to the God's Pantry website { http://www.godspantry.org/ } for more information about how you can help out! There are various volunteer opportunites where your participation is needed!
