Feed Louisville is a support organization for folks living unhoused. Our work is focused on hunger, harm reduction and housing.
Our full service street outreach team takes hot food, water, supplies and services directly to people living in encampments and on the streets daily around the city of Louisville, Kentucky.
We have our own team of chefs who prepare thousands of meals a week to support our outreach and housing navigation teams.
Our team of care coordinators work one on one with folks during temporary hotel stays to assess their needs and help remove blocks to permanent housing. We partner with multiple agencies in the community to provide resources for the various challenges that can be both the cause of, and traumatic response to, homelessness.
Feed Louisville was founded at the beginning of the pandemic by Chef Rhona Kamar and Donny Greene, a seasoned outreach worker who has been working in solidarity with people experiencing homelessness in our community for years. The work started with a conversation and has grown into a network of chefs, restaurants, food companies, farmers, outreach workers, social workers and countless volunteers who work together daily to stop this humanitarian crisis happening in our city.
