Food Drives and Fundraisers

Join the Food Rescue Movement

Did you know that 80 million tons of food is wasted every year in the United States? That’s 38% of all the food in America.

With your support, FAKH partners with food manufacturers, grocery stores, restaurants and farmers to rescue food and deliver it to our network of agency partners. In doing so, we keep high-quality food out of landfills and place it in the hands of our neighbors facing hunger.

Join us in the fight against hunger and food waste today.

Every Item of Food Counts.

At the end of the day, we can’t feed our neighbors facing hunger without the help of community members like you. 

We are happy to accept food donations from manufacturers, retailers, produce growers, distributors and community members. Want to drop off food at our Elizabethtown distribution center? View our daily hours here.

If you are a manufacturer or retailer contact our Food Donations and Inventory Manager, Karen Fitzsimmons, at kfitzsimmons@feedingamericaky.org

If you are a farmer or produce grower contact our Inventory Perishable Specialist, Richie Fairfax, at rfairfax@feedingamericaky.org
