Community Kindness Making a Difference

This week…Reverend Holder with St. James Church of Christ stopped by bearing gifts and support for those in need within our community. Reverend Holder provided clothing for community members in need, as well as financial assistance and clothing for the child who suffered severe frostbite and malnourishment earlier this year.

We are truly grateful not only to Reverend Holder…but to everyone who has stepped forward to help this child and support families in need throughout our community. Acts of kindness like these remind us of the compassion and strength that exists within Kenly. Kenly Pride & Kenly Proud!

Honoring Our Officers Through Community Support

SNACK ATTACK: Kitchen Goat Feeds Delivers Emergency Officer Fuel During NATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WEEK!

During National Law Enforcement Week…we were surprised with snacks and drinks from Jason Knapp and Nichole Conigliaro with Kitchen Goat Feeds, and we are incredibly thankful for their kindness and support of our officers.

Right now, the snacks are safe… but based on future projections and officer traffic through the patrol room, scientists predict total disappearance by the end of the week.

Thank you Jason and Nichole for supporting the Kenly Police Department and helping keep our team fueled up and appreciated!

Big Hearts Making a Big Difference in Kenly!

Kitchen Goat Feeds was proudly selected as the CBS 17 3 Degree Guarantee charity for March 2026, receiving an amazing $2,400 donation through the program.

Here’s the fun part…every evening during the CBS 17 Storm Team weather forecast, the meteorologists put their accuracy to the test. If the forecast lands within 3 degrees of the actual temperature, CBS 17 and Michael & Son donate to charity. Turns out, being right about the weather can change lives!

Today…Jason Knapp with Kitchen Goat Feeds presented the Kenly Police Department with $1,200 from that donation to help individuals and families battling cancer offset financial hardships during difficult times.

We are truly grateful for Jason and the entire Kitchen Goat Feeds organization for their kindness, generosity, and servant hearts.

Let us continue to show true generosity through love, kindness, and desire to help others.
