How To Help
We Need Your Help
Kentucky Harvest couldn’t do what we do in our community without the support of our amazing volunteers. Volunteering with Kentucky Harvest is a fulfilling and rewarding experience. You will see first-hand the generosity we receive from our community and the appreciation we receive from our recipients. We only have one full-time employee and two part-time employees, making volunteers vital to what we do in the Kentuckiana community every day. Our volunteers rescue and deliver food, organize food drives, coordinate events and so much more. Please download the Kentucky Harvest app to become a #FoodRecueHero today!

Save Food,
Feed People
Did you Know? Nearly 29% of usable food in our area ends up in landfills because companies throw it away instead of reaching out to donate it. Together we can change that!
Call us the next time you have food that still has some life in it! Kentucky Harvest rescued over 86 million pounds of food since 1987 and helped hundreds of recipient organizations saving them millions of dollars that they were able to use for their important programs that strengthen our community.

PLAN AN EVENT
Does your company, neighborhood, or favorite business host an annual event and give the proceeds to charity? We would love to talk to you! Supporting Kemtucky Harvest is like supporting 80+ local organizations that need food. We can stretch a dollar very far with the work that we do and we would love to partner with you for a community event!
HOST A FOOD DRIVE
Kentucky Harvest relies on the generosity of food drives during the holidays to make sure families get a little extra. We believe that everyone should be able to celebrate the holidays with special meals. If your company would like to host a food drive, please let us know! We will provide food donation boxes for you.
