The Talk of Louisville Podcast
On this episode of the Talk of Louisville Podcast, Mike and Kellye talk with The Executive Director of Kentucky Harvest Heather Stewart Kentucky Harvest was founded in 1987 The purpose and origin was to address a simple but urgent problem: good food was going to waste while people in our community were going hungry. From the beginning, our focus has been on rescuing both perishable and non-perishable food and ensuring it reaches those who need it most. Today, Kentucky Harvest operates a single, mission-driven program—People Helping People. Through this program, we rescue surplus food from restaurants, grocery stores, bakeries, schools, businesses and food drives and pick it up and deliver it the same day to nonprofit organizations such as homeless shelters, addiction recovery centers, children’s programs, churches and food pantries. Unlike traditional food pantries, Kentucky Harvest fills a critical gap by rescuing and delivering perishable food quickly—often within hours—so fresh, usable food doesn’t go to waste and people facing hunger receive timely support. OUR MISSION: reduce local food insecurity by connecting our partners, volunteers, and nonprofits to keep good food out of landfills and nourish our community. OUR VISION: No wasted food – no hungry neighbors. For more info visit kyharvest.org [https://kyharvest.org/]
