FRANKFORT, Ky. (FOX 56) — With Franklin County community members in need of supplies and food after disastrous flooding, a local Thai restaurant took the opportunity to feed their neighbors on Saturday.

Thai Smile announced on social media that they would be giving away 500 meals to visitors on Saturday morning, leading to crowds out the door. Restaurant staff called the giveaway “the Frankfort Community Blessing Event.

The Frankfort Area Chamber of Commerce noticed the appeal of the event, sharing a handful of photos of crowds gathered in a line out the door waiting to pick up a generously donated meal, including a donut from Poppy’s Bakery.

“Thank you for always feeding our community!” Chamber members wrote.

Thai Smile’s staff said the restaurant would be closed on Monday, April 14, to honor the celebration of the Thai New Year.
