1 in 6 people in Kentucky do not have access to the food needed to live a healthy, active lifestyle and yet 40% of the food grown in the United States is thrown away.
Many families in Cardinal Valley, one of the neighborhoods served by GleanKY, “will on a regular basis have to make a decision between a healthy grocery list or being able to cover utilities such as heat or electricity, or whether or not to cover medical costs.“ While we celebrate the 16,000 pounds of fresh produce we provided that neighborhood last year, we know there is much more work that needs to be done. We also know we can’t do this work without you.
How can our most vulnerable neighbors go hungry while perfectly edible produce is being thrown into the landfills? With your contribution, they won’t.
Our year-end giving campaign will begin on November 13th at 9AM. You won’t want to miss it! Mark your calendars and bookmark our Giving Page today.
