 Many food pantries in our region are struggling to keep their doors open. That is not the case however with the Highland Community Food Basket in Paintsville. Around a dozen volunteers serve approximately 350 families a month in the Johnson County area. Residents are lined up at the pantry every Tuesday from one to four to receive their buggy full of groceries. One Paintsville retiree says she and her household would not make it if not for the Highland Community Food Basket. I have a 10 year old great-grandson and he kind of has some special needs. I mean I've had him since he was three weeks old and I adopted him so he eats everything. He likes everything that we get over here and it helps and without it I just couldn't do it. It wasn't for being able to come over here we would have to do without. I just think that people here are wonderful. Especially Jerry Scott the pastor of the church and stuff. He's wonderful. He's one of my neighbors. The director of the food basket says they're simply doing what the Lord has called them to do. This is the way that we feel like that we're serving the Lord by doing this and giving back to the community for people that's in need. And all of these like I said these people come over here every Tuesday and sometimes we're down here Monday and Tuesday for volunteering. So nobody gets any money so just what we're doing for the Lord. For more information on the Highland Community Food Basket call the Highland Church of Christ at 606-789-6433.
