Who We Are

helping_kids

DARE TO CARE FOOD BANK was founded in 1971, when a stunned Louisville community was confronted with the horrifying news that right in their own city, on Thanksgiving Day, a nine year old boy had died of starvation.

DARE TO CARE became the rallying cry of people throughout the area as they joined together to attack the very real problem of hunger in their neighborhoods.

Dare to Care Food Bank serves 13 counties. These counties include: Jefferson, Shelby, Bullitt, Oldham, Spencer, Carroll, Trimble, and Henry in Kentucky, and Floyd, Clark, Harrison, Washington, and Crawford in Indiana. Click here to see a map of our service area.
