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 28 million pounds of food to our community. 

Will you join us? 

Your support today is especially critical. This past year, we’ve seen more need than ever before in our community – in many cases, some of our partner pantries are seeing 30-40% more neighbors than even during the height of the pandemic.

Dare to Care's mission is to work together to provide pathways to end hunger in our community. We work with nearly 300 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, a Mobile Market in partnership with Kroger, 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. So that $2 will provide 10 meals instead of 5!

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.
