United Way announces record year for Feed the Need program

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.- It was a record breaking year for United Way of Southern Kentucky’s Feed the Need campaign.

As of March 26, the organization has collected more than 137,000 items, a new record in Barren, Butler, Hart, Logan, Simpson and Warren counties. That’s more than 37,000 items collected in 2018.

This year, more than 50 companies and organizations participated by holding internal food drives from February 1 to March 22.

Feed the Need was created ten years ago in response to an increased need in our communities for access to basic needs, including food.
