Beattyville is in the heart of the two counties that are the poorest in Kentucky.  This region
is without industry; therefore many of the residents are very poor. It is generally the children
and older people who suffer the most.
Under the direction of the Lee County congregation, we supply clothing, shoes, household
items and food to the people there.  We collect groceries, shoes, clothes, and small
appliances in the August/September time frame. A list of foods that are needed can be
picked up from the Kentucky tables in the foyer.  One of the top priorities is to provide food
that children can prepare.
These specific foods have been very successful in that area:
Powdered Milk, Peanut Butter, Oatmeal, Jelly, Canned Fruit, Rice, Sloppy Joe Mix  
(canned), Canned Meats, Mac & Cheese, Spaghetti Sauce, Spaghetti, Ravioli, Spaghettio’
s, Tomato Sauce, Tuna , Canned Peas, Canned Corn, Canned Green Beans, Breakfast
Drink(Tang/orange), Pinto Beans (bagged & dried)
No Gallon Cans, Please!
