Food insecurity in many places in America is real. As of 2026 one in six people in the US are going to bed hungry, and one in five families live at or below the poverty line. Floyd County in not excluded from this. The Pay It Forward Program at the Floyd Country Store was started in 2017 and has served 1000s of free meals to those in need. We are hoping to keep the meals coming but we need the gracious help of the greater community to do that. We have folks that rely on this program on a regular basis.
