The Dare to Care program operates a commodity and emergency food assistance program for households in crisis. Commodities are issued once per month and are available up to twelve times per year. Emergency food is designed to provide nutritional supplements four times per year. Food items include canned and dry food staples, fresh vegetables, poultry, pork and meat products.
The Louisville Metro Community Action Partnership (LMCAP) food bank operates out of our East District location serving zip codes 40213, 40218 and 40219. For all other zip codes contact Dare to Care at 966-3821 to find the location nearest you.
