Black Soil KY Offers Free Fresh Produce to Aid Community Recovery After Hurricane Helene

Lexington, Ky. — In the wake of significant power outages caused by severe winds and rainfall over the weekend, agriculture company Black Soil KY is stepping in to aid the community. The company is offering free fresh fruits and vegetables harvested from Black and Indigenous farmers to help local residents restock their refrigerators following challenges posed by Hurricane Helene.

The distribution of these fresh produce bags will take place at the newly established fulfillment center located at 820 Lane Allen Road, Suite 176, in Lexington. The company aims to provide essential food items during this challenging time.

The free food distribution will be available daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., starting on September 30 and continuing through October 2. Black Soil KY’s initiative reflects a commitment to supporting the community in the aftermath of extensive power outages that impacted many households.

As the local community strives to recover from the effects of Hurricane Helene, organizations like Black Soil KY are making significant efforts to ensure residents have access to nutritious food. The impact of the recent weather events has underscored the importance of community resilience and local support systems.

This initiative not only assists individuals and families facing food scarcity but also promotes the sustainability of the region’s Black and Indigenous farming communities. By focusing on locally grown produce, Black Soil KY emphasizes the importance of supporting local agriculture and addressing food insecurity.

Residents in need of fresh produce are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity. The community response to such initiatives is vital, especially during times of crisis when many face uncertainty regarding their food sources.

For questions about the distribution event or the company’s efforts, community members can contact Black Soil KY directly or visit their fulfillment center during operating hours.
