Water Into Wine Food Pantry Takes a Step Toward Critical Cooling Storage for Perishable Food Items5/15/2019 Last week, Magoffin County received news that it had made the top of another list for the State of Kentucky. Magoffin County has now the highest insecure food source in the State of Kentucky. This is combined with the highest unemployment in the state. The Water Into Wine Food Pantry took a huge step forward to increasing food distribution this week. Through funding from a grant through Wellcare of Kentucky, the pantry was able to purchase a 48' reefer trailer. The trailer will allow for the storage of frozen foods, milk, vegetables, and other perishables. It will also allow these products to be handled with a forklift, saving valuable time and manpower. The reefer will hold temperatures from -20 to 65 degrees. It also runs on diesel fuel. The pantry had been working on a walk in unit freezer/cooler combo, but with prices nearing $60,000, it made more sense investing in this unit.
In the future, the pantry will stencil and wrap the trailer with the Pantry's name making it a billboard. The trailer is also road worthy, and at times will pick up refrigerated loads. This solves one of the biggest problems in the pantry as for as cooler/freezer space with the hot temperatures of summer coming upon us.

This place is one of the greatest places that’s ever come to Magoffin. No matter what they’re always someone there that’s willing to help. With such a very low Unployment rate in this town . We definitely have been blessed with this kind of place.And I’m not just sayin this because my daddy works here .
