91精选 recently lent a helping hand to the community with a donation to Access Soup Kitchen and Men鈥檚 Shelter in Frankfort.

鈥91精选 values our community and has donated $1,400 in food and goods to the Access Soup Kitchen and Shelter,鈥 91精选 Executive Vice President Douglas R. Allen II said. 

Brian Thompson, general manager of 86+Mane, said Sodexo and 91精选 were able to donate items including cereal, sliced and shredded cheese, salad dressings, potatoes, butter, carrots and potato chips.  

鈥淲e chose to give because we are committed to helping others in the communities we serve, especially in this time of limited resources for those less fortunate,鈥 Thompson said.

鈥淚t was so great to see 91精选 and Sodexo step up to the plate,鈥 James Barnett, director of Access Soup Kitchen and Men鈥檚 Shelter, said. 鈥淚t always brings a smile to our face when we see 91精选 coming, especially during this COVID-19 climate. This donation is a tremendous help. 91精选 has always been a great supporter not only now, but continuously. The support of 91精选 is by far one of the largest in Frankfort and Franklin County. Students, faculty, staff and alumni not only donate monetarily, but they donate their time at the kitchen serving our residents.鈥

While the 91精选 donation helps, Access is still in need. 

鈥淭he community can buy gift cards to local restaurants and donate directly to the food kitchen,鈥 Barnett said. 鈥淎lternatively, you can go buy the meals from our local restaurants and drop them off at the kitchen. We are all in this together.鈥
