MOREHEAD, Ky. (LEX 18) — Rowan County families lined up Saturday morning as school employees, volunteers and community members came together for a large-scale food distribution event.

"There were people here since 6:45 this morning," said Brandy Carver, Assistant Superintendent of Rowan County Schools.

The community food distribution was organized to provide relief for residents like Lenox Miller, who says every bit of help makes a difference.

"We're living paycheck to paycheck and a little bit of stuff goes a long way," Miller said.

Organizers expected to hand out over 2,200 meals to help address food insecurities and fill gaps in food assistance. Each family received five meals as volunteers loaded up carts throughout the morning.
