In a Thursday press release, retired Marine Lt. Col Amy McGrath announced that she is spreading a $21,000 donation across several Kentucky food banks, including Soup for the Soul in Murray. Of the $21,000, Soup for the Soul will be receiving $3,000 to help replenish supplies to continue serving meals in the community.
The other food banks receiving a donation from her are Helping Hands in Beattyville, Hillvue Heights Church in Bowling Green, FoodChain in Lexington, and Neighborhood House in Louisville.
The food banks that were chosen either reached out to McGrath, or were located by her Commonwealth, Common Health team.
