We empower food pantries and meal programs across Central and Eastern Kentucky.
Food is an essential source: for growth, for strength, for life. It is a human right. As advocates, we champion better access to nutritious food and work to get more people engaged. Because reducing hunger takes us all.
Mission: Reduce hunger by working together to feed Kentucky communities.
Vision: A nourished life for every Kentuckian.
YOUR NEIGHBOR IS HUNGRY
Hunger is invisible - and it can affect anyone, regardless of where you live, how old you are, or how you appear. In Kentucky, 1 in 6 people are unsure of where they will get their next meal.

How you can help
Support our work in the fight against hunger. Donations, volunteers, and advocates help us amplify our impact and reach more neighbors.
Donate
Donations can have a significant impact by providing immediate support to help us purchase essential food items, maintain our operations, and reach more individuals and families in need.
We rely on volunteers to help us serve our community effectively. We have various volunteer opportunities available. Recurring commitments ensure consistent support for our community.
Coming from a poverty-stricken area, I understand the importance of community support firsthand. Volunteering with the Morehead State University football team has been a deeply rewarding experience for me.
Laurence, Volunteer
We appreciate this pantry for everything they do to help. It is such a good help to many people. After a work injury ended my career as a pharmacy technician, these programs have been essential for me.
Patty, Neighbor
When my food stamps run out, the food pantry provides extra meals, ensuring I have three square meals a day. Situations aren't always obvious, but God's Pantry Food Bank understands community needs. The kindness of the people makes visits meaningful.
Gary, Neighbor
The Mobile Market makes shopping convenient for us, especially for those of us with mobility problems. We appreciate having the market right in our backyard, and they offer a good variety of products.
Cliff, Neighbor
We live in an area where there aren’t many jobs. People don’t realize the actual impact the pantry has on us. It’s like a holiday once a month, it really does help.
