In response to the ongoing food insecurity issues in Jefferson County and the impending crisis stemming from the government shutdown and potential suspension of SNAP benefits, the Louisville Urban League organized a call with community organizations throughout the Commonwealth. The goal was to share information, identify opportunities for coordination, and provide accurate information to the communities we serve.

Dozens of organizations provide programs and services to meet ongoing needs and they need our help. If you need help or want to help, find an opportunity below. If your organization offers support or services, please complete this form: Coordinating Louisville Food Efforts.
