You can make a difference in the lives of people who are hungry.
There are two types of drives – a Virtual Food Drive and a Traditional Food Drive.
Please note: If you are collecting food to drop off at Dare to Care’s warehouse, our hours are 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
Virtual Food Drive
In lieu of collecting and donating food to Dare to Care, we recommend hosting a virtual food drive to raise funds for our efforts. This will allow us to use your gift to meet the greatest need. Every $1 donated provides food for 3 meals.
To create a virtual food drive, please contact Andrea Shepherd, Director of Corporate Partnerships.
Traditional Food Drive
Please fill out the form below or contact Joey Stinson at 502.736.9415. A Dare to Care team member will reach out with more information after this form is submitted. Thank you for your support!
Here are some things to consider when hosting a Food Drive:
- You can collect food items in your own boxes or pick up Dare to Care boxes at our main warehouse on Fern Valley Road between 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Boxes should be durable and a reasonable size so we can sort the donated food when delivered to our Dare to Care distribution center.
- Get the word out. Print posters, promote in newsletters, email blasts, social media and on your website. We also have an “items most needed” poster you can share.
- Please drop off all food donations at the Dare to Care distribution center at 5803 Fern Valley Road, Louisville, KY 40228. Our hours for receiving donated food are 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Thursday.
