The DARE TO CARE FOOD BANK exists to provide an efficient, low cost way of obtaining food for social service agencies in the community that operate feeding programs.

The Food Bank is operated as a cooperative effort between DARE TO CARE FOOD BANK and more than 356 not-for-profits in a 13 county area in Kentucky and southern Indiana.

Food is donated to the DARE TO CARE FOOD BANK program through both local sources, and through the national America's Second Harvest network.  Donors and food bank agencies are guaranteed detailed product tracking, brand name integrity, superior food handling and storage, and timely distribution of donations.

The DARE TO CARE FOOD BANK is subject to inspections by state and local health departments, food industry representatives, and by Second Harvest.

All donated food is offered to non-profit 501(c)3 agencies that operate feeding programs for the needy, ill, infants, children, and seniors.

These organizations serve the community through a variety of programs, including:

• Food pantries
• Missions
• Community kitchens
• Shelters
• Child care centers
• Residential facilities

DARE TO CARE FOOD BANK pays for  the cost of operating the warehouse for the Food Bank Program from its operating budget.  This includes;

• Shipping charges that DARE TO CARE pays for delivery of donated goods to our warehouse.
• Transportation costs for local collection and delivery.
• Utilities associated with refrigerated and frozen storage.
