 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the best ministry in Louisville. They answer the phone and provide services needed in our community. The food bank is not just a meal or two, it's fresh produce, dairy, meat, baked goods, shelf stable items and toiletries. They assist in rent, water and electricity help. If you need help please use them. They are an amazing resource. If you dont need them donate. I used them for 3 years, I'm now on my feet and donate every chance I get.
