Food Drives
Product donated through food drives is used to stock our food pantries located at Broadway Christian Church, Central Christian Church, Gardenside Baptist Church, Pilgrim Baptist Church and St. Luke United Methodist Church. We are now serving over 1,600 households and distributing over 150,000 pounds of food a month in Fayette County. Food drive donations are only averaging 29,000 pounds a month. We need your help!

Kroger Bags
All Fayette Kroger Stores stock pre-made bags of food (vegetables, fruit, meat and pasta products) for $5 located near the checkout lanes. Simply pick up a bag, have it scanned and drop it in the God’s Pantry Food Bank donation barrels on your way out of the store. Your charitable donation is registered on the receipt. It’s easy!
Kroger’s Bringing Hope to the Table
God’s Pantry Food Bank is proud to be a recipient of Kroger’s Bringing Hope to the Table promotion. Kroger family of stores and participating manufacturers are donating up to $4 Million to God’s Pantry Food Bank and other Feeding America network members in communities across the country. Shop the products marked with pink tags to show your support. By supporting these products and stores you can support God’s Pantry Food Bank’s effort to end hunger in central and eastern Kentucky. We would like to thank Kroger and all the companies involved in this Bringing Hope to the Table program for their effort to fight hunger and support God’s Pantry Food Bank’s work.
Checkout Hunger
Kroger Stores also have coupons valued at $1, $2, and $5 located at the checkout lanes. To make a donation, simply tear off a coupon and have it scanned. Your charitable donation is registered on your receipt.
Virtual Food Drives
Do you have a birthday, anniversary or other gift receiving event coming up? Are you tired of neckties, scarves, and things you don’t really need? Well, we have the solution! We can create a virtual food drive for you. Simply send us your information, we’ll create the drive and send you the link so that you can forward it to your family & friends. They can then donate food in your name, and help needy families.
If you are interested in a virtual food drive, email us the info and we’ll make it happen. Please contact Robert Srodulski at 859-288-5330 for more information.
