Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our goal is extremely simple. We are looking for a Greenup County where no man, woman or child is food insecure. No one should have to choose between food and medicine, clothing or paying utility bills. Ultimately, we would like to see the food insecurity rate for Greenup County be 0%.

We provide monthly food assistance to our neighbors in Greenup County. We also distribute monthly Commodity Supplemental Food Program boxes to qualifying Greenup County senior citizens (60 and older). We also provide assistance for clothing and, when funds are available, provide assistance with utilities and life sustaining medication. In addition, we advocate with local, state and federal leaders concerning food insecurity awareness. Finally, we partner with other agencies, businesses. churches and individuals to reduce food waste and encourage donation.
