Our Purpose
Every day in Owensboro & Daviess County, more than 15,000 of our neighbors—including single mothers, children, seniors, and working families—struggle with food insecurity. For them, the question is not what’s for dinner, but whether there will be dinner at all.
Truckloads of donated food, especially hard-to-get proteins, fruits, and vegetables, are available every week across our region.
But today, most of it bypasses our community because we lack the ability to store large quantities on short notice. Without proper storage, nutritious food is lost instead of reaching families who need it most.
GRCFW has a transformational solution to end Hunger in Owensboro & Daviess County: a centralized, temperature-controlled hub to capture truckload donations. We are excited to share that hub will be the Clark Distribution building at 4th & Leitchfield. This donated food will be made available to our partner local pantries & kitchens, free of charge.
Local pantries & kitchens provide 165,000 meal equivalents per month for about 1,800 people. GRCFW will provide +215,000 meal equivalents per month, feeding 2,400 more people.
