Dare to Care

Their Mission: To lead their community to feed the hungry and conquer the cycle of need.

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 their 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. In the past year, Dare to Care and our partners provided 19 million meals to our community.
