800 Families Get Free Food
KENTUCKY...
The nonprofit group Feed the Children brought enough food to Louisville to take care of 800 families for a week.
The Oklahoma City, Okla.-based organization says two trucks arrived at The Salvation Army in Louisville to give away the food and personal care items. Families receiving 25-lb. boxes of food and 10-lb. boxes of personal care items have already been chosen by The Salvation Army.
Feed the Children says in a news release that the distribution is part of the group's "Americans Feeding Americans Caravan," which will have given away food to some 200,000 families across the country by the end of the year.
In addition to the food and other items, free dental checks will be given to 300 children.
