National Beef recently made a $10,000 donation to Bowling Green Christian Food Pantry. According to pantry manager Todd Sayler, the pantry was going to be $10,000 short from making the budget this year, when National Beef made the donation so the organization would break even.
The food pantry has not made its budget in the last two years because of donations being down, Sayler said.
Demands have increased, and in May the pantry served 580 people with 16,470 total meals.
The pantry now serves all of Wood County, and provides families with food every 30 days, rather than 60 days. Free breads and sweets are available everyday from Kroger and Panera. Produce is available every Monday.
