Adair Food Pantry gets chance at matching money Local effort eligible to participate in $1 million Feinstein challenge match Adair County Food Pantry, located in the basement of Madison Square Office Building, is hoping local generosity will help them augment funds for food for limited resource families in their service area. For the tenth year, Alan Shawn Feinstein of Cranston, RI, will divide $1 million among hunger fighting agencies nationwide. The amount of the matches depends on the amount money given during March and April, 2007. The amount of money may be matched proportionately for money collected between March 1 and April 30, 2007. Last year, nationwide, the match raised a record $620 million. Certain qualifications apply, and certain matching requirements also apply. Donations used in the match must be in response to the challeange, but can include cash, checks, and food items, which are valued at $1 per item or pound. Lloyd French, director of the local food pantry, said that the local Food Pantry serves approximately 225 clients. People visiting the pantry usually get five or six bags of food. Enough to last a couple of weeks for many people. Can goods, dried food stuff, meats, and other foodstuff is available. And, just recently, government commodities can be picked up at the Madison Square location. The main entrance to the Food Pantry is from the back of the building, on the Reed Street side. Arlinda Kessler, the Expanded Food & Nutrition Education Program Assistant for the Adair County UK Extension Service, said that Food Pantry items are given without regard to whether or not the clients get government food stamps. The staff at the food pantry includes, besides French and Kessler, Lucille Lemmon, Carol Miller, and Audrey Calhoun. To make a donation of money or food, individuals should contact Lloyd French at 384-3650 at home, or by cell phone at 250-2518. The same numbers can be used to find out about receiving food or to volunteer to work in the Food Pantry. This story was posted on 2007-04-10 13:12:17
