Louisville Food Not Bombs

Louisville Food Not Bombs Louisville Food Not Bombs is an all-volunteer organization that distributes surplus and unsold food UPDATED MARKET START TIME: 12:00pm - NOON on Sundays.

Louisville Food Not Bombs is an all-volunteer organization that recovers surplus and unsold food from grocery stores, bakeries, produce markets, food producers, and farms and freely distributes it to Louisville's largest food desert. Through donations and the recovery of food that would otherwise go to waste we are able to deliver food to those who might otherwise not have access to fresh produce.

We also encourage people to share clothing, books, music, skills, or anything that might benefit members of the community. Food Not Bombs is not a charity but seeks to end the crisis of corporate domination and exploitation through nonviolent direct action so no one is forced to stand in line to eat at a soup kitchen. Food is a Right not a Privilege, so as an organization, one of our roles is to stand in solidarity with local communities in Louisville and help protect our collective right to healthy food. Food Not Bombs operates on principles of cooperation, mutual aid, and voluntary association. This organization is non-hierarchical and all inclusive. We do not use any tax money or grants to fund our activities, although we gladly accept voluntary contributions. We are going to being having Food Not Bombs events on a regular basis so bring your reusable grocery bags!

With the advent of so many more people needing food security, we would like to announce that we will be accepting food donations every Sunday at 11:00 Shepherd Park in the Russell neighborhood. We would like to have a large donation on the second Sunday of every month at 11:00 at Shepherd Park. Someone will be there each Sunday to collect your donations at the pavilion.
Staples are great. Anything that you can afford to give would be appreciated by our clients.
Thank you and we hope to see you there soon!
