The looming pandemic has brought about many changes in families, leaving some caregivers without work and lack of resources to provide food and nourishment for their children. The Barbourville Independent School System, in collaboration with Save the Children and FRYSC, has been able to ease the burden by supplying weekly food boxes during the month of October.
Each box contained 25 pounds of food, which was 10-12 pounds of produce, 5-6 pounds of protein, and dairy products such as cheese and yogurt along with a gallon of milk.. In total the School System distributed 288 boxes of food and milk each week The boxes were available to anyone in the community with no income guidelines or restrictions.
