The Lincoln Trail Area Development District is supporting an effort to support first responders that have been working around the clock on search and rescue missions in the Colesburg and Lebanon Junction area.
“They’re tired, weary, they’re hungry, and one of the things that we’re trying to do now is put together hot meals for them to give them some respite,” said LTADD Executive Director Daniel London. “So out at the Lincoln Trail Area Development District, we are funding a food truck to go up to provide hot meals for first responders.”
Russell Tucker with Sonny Boy’s BBQ is organizing the food trucks.
“We’re going to go down there, we’re going to try to give them some pulled pork sandwiches, hamburgers, just kind of give them something warm to put in their belly while they’re doing what the community needs help with,” Tucker said.
LTADD is also working with Central Kentucky Community Action to provide meals for first responders working in the Shepherdsville area.
“It’s going to be about a cost of, between us and Community Action, probably $2,500 to $3,000 a day to take care of these first responders,” London said. “They take care of us when we need help. They give up their family, their time, even their treasure, and a lot of circumstances to come to our rescue, and this is the least that we can do.”
If you are interested in supporting the effort, LTADD is accepting donations, which can be delivered to their office at 750 South Provident Way in Elizabethtown.
