For the fourth year, the Johnson family is gearing up to host their annual Thanksgiving breakfast.
“We feed the community for Thanksgiving breakfast, and it’s free to whoever comes in,” said Johnson family member Jennifer Banks. “We have breakfast from 8 to 10 a.m. at the Vine Grove City Hall, and anybody is welcome.”
Banks said the annual breakfast was born out of her mother’s long-running efforts to feed cadets, soldiers, and community members at Fort Knox.
“She just said she wants to do more for the community, so that’s how we (me, my sisters, and my mother), we all pitch in with our own money,” Banks said. “We’ve been doing this for four years, just feeding the community, blessing the community once a year on Thanksgiving morning.”
Community members looking to support the effort should contact Banks.
“They can call me at 270-304-5101,” Banks said. “They can volunteer, they can donate money, they can donate food. We’re open. Like I said, this is strictly out of our pocket. This is not a nonprofit. We don’t ask for grants or anything. This is strictly our own money, and we just want to bless the community on Thanksgiving morning.”
Area residents who would like a meal but are unable to attend in person should contact Banks to schedule a delivery.
