DARE TO CARE FOOD BANK was founded in 1971, when a stunned Louisville
community was confronted with the horrifying news that right in their
own city, on Thanksgiving Day, a nine year old boy had died of starvation.
The name DARE TO CARE became the rallying cry of people throughout the
area as they joined together to attack the very real problem of hunger
in many of their neighborhoods.
Today, the mission of DARE TO CARE FOOD BANK is dedicated exclusively
to relieving hunger throughout the entire Louisville and Southern Indiana
metropolitan area.
With a special emphasis on the needs of infants and children, the elderly,
and the ill and infirm, we offer a variety of crucial programs that have
been established to help fulfill that mission.
DARE TO CARE FOOD BANK is an interfaith, non-profit agency, and is the
Louisville area’s only community-wide emergency food provider. We
rely completely on donations of food, money, and volunteer services to
meet the ever growing challenges of fulfilling our mission.
DARE TO CARE FOOD BANK is a 501(c)(3) agency and all donations are tax
