Those impacted by Louisville plant explosion pick up free food [Video]

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — United Crescent Hill Ministries (UCHM) hosted a food pick-up for neighborhood residents affected by the Givaudan plant explosion on Nov. 12. 

While picking up non-perishable items ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday Tuesday evening, they also had another chance to speak with Givaudan representatives.

Bellaire Avenue resident Rian Chambers stopped by the community center with his dog, speaking with volunteers and collecting food items for his Thanksgiving meal.

“This is how we’re going to complete [the Thanksgiving meal],” said Chambers. “We do outreach to help individuals and this time it seemed like we received help, so it’s a great community.”

Through the physical damages, some like Chambers are seeking medical help for the damages internally. 

“I’m seeing a therapist about some PTSD issues…” said Chambers. “So far, so good.”
