More than 7,100 pounds of non-perishable food was collected and delivered to a Kentucky food bank last month as part of the Grayson County USDA Harvest of the Heart Food Drive.
USDA Farm Service Agency along with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Grayson County Conservation District and Rural Development, partnered with about 23 community churches and CoreMark International for the 14th annual food drive.
All proceeds were delivered to the Community Food Pantry, which serves more than 900 Grayson County families each month. The annual food drive is one of the significant efforts to replenish the shelves at the food pantry.
