By Jessica Speweike Reporter

Amidst holiday shopping and festivities, some residents in Bowling Green go to the Bowling Green Christian Food Pantry to shop for something else: food for their families. Established in 1984 as a non-profit organization, the BGCFP manages roughly 85-90 households a month. Shirley Woessner, the director of the BGCFP, said those households added up to 328 people. Though the BGCFP in a non-profit organization, they have a budget given to them by their Board of Trustees, but they rely heavily upon funds and supplies from donations.
