The People's Market at the Lexington Pride Center is open to LGBTQIA+ people, their families, and allies. The market follows a low-barrier, high-choice model so the community can get the food they need without unnecessary hurdles. To receive food, you'll need to fill out a sign-up form first.
Fill out the online sign-up form at the People's Market sign-up page. You can also reach out to Food Programs Manager Bryana Magee at bryana@lexpridecenter.org or (859) 253-3233 with any questions.
Participating households can pick up food once each week.
Snack foods and drinks are available at the Lexington Pride Center between distribution days, so you don't have to wait until the next pick-up day for something to eat.
The People's Market is a high-choice market, meaning you get to select your own items. This lets you choose the foods that are right for you and your household.
