Our Projects
The Youth Leadership Program (YLP) dedicates its efforts to volunteering at the local food bank every month, a cornerstone initiative crucial for addressing food insecurity within our community.
This commitment not only reflects our core values of leadership, compassion, and community engagement, but also serves as a platform for fostering essential skills such as teamwork, empathy, and organization. By consistently showing up and actively participating, we aim to make a tangible impact on improving access to food security for individuals and families in need.
Join us in our mission to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those facing food insecurity.
God's Food Pantry is the largest non-profit organization dedicated to funding and supporting food banks in Kentucky while also providing Food Security Programs themselves. We highly recommend donating any leftover food you have to their banks, as it will be used fairly and efficiently.
Methodist Church Offers an extremely generous program called "Mana Meal" that provides free food to anyone who asks every Saturday at their church. This program combats food insecurity in Jessamin County.
