Ken Oliver has been a shining example of volunteerism for Mayfield-Graves County Need Line and Food Pantry.  Ken has moved to Bowling Green  to be closer to family and has resigned from the Need Line and Food Pantry board and his work with us.  We hated to see him go. 

At the September meeting, Ken was recognized for his service by board chair Nathan Rogers.
