If people are in need of extra food, hygeine etc Food from the Heart has all of that. I have seen numbers decrease this past year. We serve all ages! Our food pantry is the inly Feeding America USDA program (aka commodities) for Edmonson County. Our next food pantry daye is August 14, 2016 @ 10:00 am at the old State Farm building. 102 South Main Street. The food is a ince per month program, it is monitored. So, if Mrs. Walker sees people in need she can refer them to Food From the Heart. It was established in 2005 and has deep roots in the community.
