GALESBURG â In 2004, Loving Bottoms founder LeeAnn Porter was living in Kentucky. She says she was coming out of an abusive relationship, and was going through a divorce. As a single mom with three children â the youngest only 6 months old â she found herself under immense financial strain. While her landlord helped her receive assistance through WIC and other programs, things remained a challenge. Porter said food was not a huge difficulty, and she was able to cook, but other things like laundry soap, dish soap and diapers were a problem. When she asked the people at the pantries about these things, they looked at her like they did not know why she needed them.
