In 2023, 45 partners participated in the Food Bank’s childhood hunger relief programs, sharing 213,165 meals with kids and teens. Additional to these programs, making a difference for Kentucky youth experiencing food insecurity means empowering programs organized by our partners, like The BackPack Program of Laurel County. Their program supports 900 kids across 16 schools!
Our partner pantries and meal programs share food with neighbors of all ages, including children and teens. In 2023, God’s Pantry Food Bank distributed enough food to create nearly 38 million meals. If you lined up the trucks needed to distribute this food, they would stretch nearly 11miles. If the first truck was parked at our Lexington warehouse, the line would not stop until close to Southland Christian Church in Nicholasville. Almost 11 miles of food—together, we did that! Thank you for supporting this work with your time, money, food, and your voice. We couldn’t do it without the power of neighbors helping neighbors.
We are sincerely grateful to the Arby’s Foundation. Their matching donation of $25,000 last month is helping us create over 300,000 meals for children across Central and Eastern Kentucky.
