LEXINGTON, Ky. — John Calipari's foundation is partnering with Kroger and Fayette County Public schools to provide food to families in need while schools are closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The school system will identify families from up to 37 elementary schools to participate in the program through at least April 20. Calipari said in a conference call with reporters Tuesday that 400 families would be included in the program.
