They call it their \u201cGive-Back Packs\u201d program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hayes Humphreys is chief operating officer for the company.  He says these boxes can be purchased at both their basecamp location in Nelson County and the Outpost location in Lexington.<\/p>\n

HAYES HUMPHREYS:  The goal was to be able to feed a family of four for a few days at an affordable price.<\/p>\n

A family in need of a meal pack simply calls to reserve one of the meal boxes for same day pick-up, no questions asked. However, there is a limit of one pack per family per day.<\/p>\n

These boxes also are not just for families. They can also be for first responders, medical workers and other essential employees helping the community.<\/p>\n

How is the program going so far? Humphreys says people are responding to help answer the need.<\/p>\n

HUMPHREYS: People are being incredibly generous and buying a lot of boxes for other folks.<\/p>\n

In addition to the food boxes, their distillery like others in the state has converted production at present to producing hand sanitizer.<\/p>\n

They are directing what they have available towards just the medical community and local healthcare providers.<\/p>\n

Humphreys says we need to take care of those folks first, so they are there when we need them.<\/p>\n
