Urgent Plea for Food

There is an urgent plea for help. It is your local food bank, which are short on supplies for the holidays. I would like everyone in the Lexington area if you feel called to please help and bring non-perishable food items and donations to WLAP at 2601 Nicholasville Road, Lexington, KY on TODAY November 18th (3pm – 6pm) or Saturday November 19th (11am – 3pm).

The Kentucky 9/12 Project is actively working with God’s Pantry and 630am WLAP for “from your pantry to theirs”. During the holiday season we need charity more than ever and we are asking people to take just a little back out of their pantries and food storage and donate it to a local food pantry or food bank to help those in our community. Heck just $10 at your local grocery or Wal-Mart would fill 2 bags with food. That is $10 many of these homes do not have right now and NEED. I don’t care where you get it from just do the little to help a lot today and tomorrow.


Click here for a list of food pantries we support around the state. In Lexington we will be helping stock God’s Pantry reach and feed over 1,700 homes. These are needed homes with children and empty cupboards at their houses. I need everyone to bring non-perishable food items to your local food bank or in Lexington area:

WLAP 2601 Nicholasville Road, Lexington, KY
Friday November 18th (3pm – 6pm) or Saturday November 19th (11am – 3pm)
