Our Community
Community is the heart of our mission and Kentucky Harvest brings an intention to serve everyone in our community: the hungry, the nonprofits that feed them, our food partners, our corporate partners, and our financial donors.
What We Do
Our volunteers save local nonprofit organizations over $4 million in food costs each year that they can use to strengthen their community programs like homelessness, outreach, reunification of families, addiction recovery, programs for at-risk youth, and more.
How We Serve
Food Waste In Kentuckiana
A recent Louisville Solid Waste Management study showed that nearly 29 percent of solid waste in Jefferson County is food. Kentucky Harvest believes that is unacceptable!
Each year, our volunteers rescue and deliver over 2.5 million pounds of food across our area including Jefferson, Oldham and Shelby counties in Kentucky, and Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties in Indiana.
Our volunteers deliver food to 80+ recipient organizations each year including homeless shelters, addiction recovery centers, children’s centers, schools, food pantries, churches and more.
In 2023, Harvest saved the organizations that we serve over $4 million that they can use to strengthen their programs which makes our community stronger. Last year, our volunteers rescued enough food to serve over 2 million meals to food insecure people across Kentuckiana!
