Kidney beans, corn flakes, peanut butter, gallons of milk, and apples. Dozens of paper bags have been filled with food ahead of a recent Thursday morning at the Mission House in Hickman County, Kentucky, the sun shining in as a volunteer opens up the side sliding door of the warehouse.
Soon, cars begin to circle around to the side of the warehouse, passing by the front sign of the Mission House, where a Bible quote is displayed in smaller font, Matthew 25:35 “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.”

A Paducah nonprofit is making a list and checking it twice as it prepares to give free meals to over 1,000 people this Christmas Eve.
Project Pomona, a local organization dedicated to providing food for those who need it, has put together Seasonâs Eatings with a group of partner businesses and nonprofits to safely distribute these meals to four different sites at 11 a.m. on Dec. 24.
âYou know ⦠itâs been a bad year,â Project Pomona founder Bryant Hileman said. âWe havenât been able to do what we always did before â our free weekly meals at the library â but with Christmas coming up and the second round of restaurant and bar closures, even more people are faced with food insecurity than last year (and ever before).
