Scott and Krista Lee of Miami Purebred Herefords have donated a full processed beef to Cross Point Church, who helps with the Harvesters Food Distribution program in Paola. Scott Lee says his family has been blessed and it’s nice to be able to pay it forward.
Volunteers help distribute food to local families every Saturday morning from 7:45 to 9:00 at the Church. Then, on the first Saturday of every month, Harvesters sends a big truck to the Church, and a larger distribution takes place from the Mobile Food Pantry. That event lasts from 8:00 to 10:00. Both distributions are free to those who need it, and there are no qualifications.
The church relies on weekly food donations from WalMart, Price Chopper and Kentucky Fried Chicken in Paola, and they also receive cash donations from other sources throughout the Region. Meat isn’t always available, but whith the Lee’s donation, each family will receive two pounds.
