Our Mission: Working together to provide pathways to end hunger in our community.
On Thanksgiving Eve in 1969, nine-year-old Bobby Ellis died of malnutrition in his Louisville home. Our stunned Kentuckiana community took action and created Dare to Care Food Bank, to ensure that no one in our community lacks enough food to live an active, healthy life.
Today, Dare to Care partners with nearly 300 local social service agencies, such as food pantries, shelters and emergency kitchens to distribute food to our community. From July 2020 to June 2021, Dare to Care and our partners provided more than 21.7 million meals to our community.
