Lexington Rescue Mission's food table and meals

Second St. Guests may also take produce, bread, and other food from the distribution table when supplies are available. Because those groceries are not promised for every visit, treat them as a possible addition to the Mission's scheduled free meals.

Find a pantry through God's Pantry

God's Pantry Food Bank maintains a locator for Fayette County pantries and meal programs. Depending on the location and available stock, selections may include produce, protein, refrigerated foods, bread, milk, eggs, or frozen meat. These are food-assistance locations, not limited-time retail promotions.

Use the God's Pantry Lexington locator to identify a nearby program and confirm its contact details before leaving. Contents vary with product availability. A pantry listing therefore identifies where to seek help, but it does not promise that a specific food will be available.

Is Kroger Free Friday available now?

No active Lexington offer can be verified for August 29, 2026. Kroger's Free Friday page currently tells customers to return later for the next offer. When Kroger runs the promotion, the free-item digital coupon appears only on select Fridays.

Customers need a digital account and must download the coupon that Friday, then redeem it with their Shopper's Card within two weeks. This differs from FoodChain's recurring grocery-box schedule. Check Kroger's page before visiting because an old announcement or remembered promotion does not establish that a coupon is available today.
