Feeding Kentucky

At Feeding Kentucky, we work tirelessly to create a hunger-free Kentucky by advocating for strong hunger policies, working with our farmers to provide local and fresh food to our food banks, helping people apply for assistance programs like SNAP, and making sure children have access to meals while school is both in and out of session.

To help us continue our work, consider a donation today: https://crm.bloomerang.co/HostedDonation?ApiKey=pub_9ae60b3d-4923-11eb-b555-066b9600540d&WidgetId=16384

Today is the first day of our 2026 Lexington’s Big Give food drive! Now through November 30, the city is partnering with God's Pantry Food Bank, with WKYT as our media sponsor, to help families facing food insecurity across our city and region. With changes to SNAP benefits and rising inflation, food insecurity is rising. Join in by donating unopened, non-perishable food items … there are food drop-off locations across the city (see the map at the link for location details). Let’s give big for this year’s Big Give food drive!

It’s National School Lunch Week! Did you know last school year in Kentucky, nearly 75 million meals were provided in the 1,300 schools enrolled in the National School Lunch program? That’s a lot of food! If you know a school cafeteria worker, make sure to thank them today for helping make sure students are fed while at school.

Hunger Action Month may have ended, but our work to end hunger doesn’t stop. In fact it is year-round, and we want you to join us in this work.

Whether you volunteer at your local food bank or food pantry, spread awareness on social media, or make a gift to Feeding Kentucky, every action you take makes a difference in the lives of our neighbors.

Together, we can build a Kentucky where no one goes hungry!
