ACTION MINISTRIES INC

Northern Kentucky's Community Food Pantry

Covington, KY   |  www.actionministries.org

Mission

To provide hope, encouragement and groceries to low-income families in northern Kentucky. We are an all volunteer, faith-based, organization. We charge no fees of any kind for our services

Notes from the nonprofit

From its beginning, almost 30 years ago, Action Ministries has been organized and run entirely by volunteers. We are not part of any larger organization. Our funding comes from individual contributions, churches, organizations and various grants from foundations and FEMA (EFSP). We either purchase our groceries or they are donated to us from local retail outlets. We are a member agency of the Cincinnati Freestore/Foodbank (Feeding America) and a participating member of the Northern Kentucky Safety Net Alliance.
