Hunger should not be a political issue.

But when we see massive funding cuts to multiple food assistance programs, including cuts to SNAP that affect more than 80,000 Kentuckians, we are reminded that indeed it is political.

In our kitchen, we feel the consequences of these devastating policy decisions that leave our shelves increasingly empty at the end of every day as the demand for food resources grows. Every pound of food we rescue throughout the day goes out to the community by day’s end. We can’t bring food in fast enough to meet the demands.

Yesterday, Governor Andy Beshear sent a letter to the director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture pleading for reversal of policy decisions that are the root of increased demand on already stretched food assistance programs. Programs meant to be there for people in emergencies, not as ongoing resources to fill the gap that SNAP and others were built to provide.

Our Founder and Executive Director, Rhona Bowles Kamar, talked with WLKY News about the effects of SNAP cuts on the people we serve. Each of our community feeding partners is asking for more food resources for their clients. And we have a waiting list of organizations that need food.

We need the governor to keep pushing for change. We need all of our elected officials to use their voices to send a message to Washington - food is a basic human right, and no one in this country should ever have to go without it.

For the second year in a row, the GE Appliances team has shown up for Feed Louisville, helping us strengthen the infrastructure that keeps our kitchen and community work moving!

This year, their team built new stairs for our volunteer parking lot, installed lockers for the safekeeping of our volunteer's personal belongings, and stained and weatherproofed the ramp they built for us in 2025.

These improvements make a real difference in our daily operations. From bringing rescued food into our kitchen to helping volunteers and community partners safely and efficiently move meals and food resources back out, every improvement helps us do this work better.

We are incredibly grateful to GE Appliances for continuing to invest their time, skills and resources in Feed Louisville. Strong infrastructure supports a stronger food system, and partnerships like this help us continue growing the work we do for our community.

Thank you, GE Appliances, for another year of showing up and helping us build something lasting!

We are grateful to the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels for supporting Feed Louisville and the work we are building across our community. Their support this year funded two new refrigerators, which will allow us to grow our capacity to rescue good food, prepare nutritious meals, support local farmers and connect food resources with the community organizations doing the work on the ground.

The Kentucky Colonels have a long tradition of investing in the people and communities of the Commonwealth. We are proud to be among the organizations carrying that work forward here in Louisville.

Thank you for helping us continue the work.
