Dare to Care Food Bank

Dare to Care Food Bank is the leading hunger relief organization in Kentuckiana, offering food services to those in need across 13 counties in Kentucky and Indiana. In the past year we have distributed over 27 million pounds of food to our community. 

Will you join us? 

In just two years, need in our region rose 48%. As federal food support declined and economic uncertainty grew, we focused on:

• Deepening engagement with volunteers, partners, and donors
• Listening and learning to our neighbors

Together, we'll meet rising challenges with bold solutions and a shared vision for a nourished community where everyone can thrive.

Dare to Care's mission is to work together to provide pathways to end hunger in our community. We work with nearly 400 nonprofit partners to distribute 20 million+ pounds of food across 13 counties each year. We also run programs including mobile pantries, Kids Cafes, Prescriptive Pantries, school pantries, low-income senior meals, and more.

September is Hunger Action Month, and we hope you’ll join us in taking action. Your donations throughout the day and the month will be matched, thanks to our generous sponsors. This means right now every $1 you give will provide 4 meals instead of 2 to neighbors across our community.

Dare to Care is an accredited charity of the Better Business Bureau and has been awarded the highest, 4-star rating by Charity Navigator for commitment to accountability and transparency. Please join us during Give For Good Louisville to have the biggest impact possible for our neighbors in need.

Take more action!
