Mission Statement
Family Food Center is working to eliminate hunger and improve the health and well-being of our community through access to healthy and nutritious foods, community education, and advocacy.
About This Cause
Family Food Center has been serving residents of Jessamine and Fayette Counties since 2013. We make a positive impact in our local communities by providing access to high, quality healthy food on a weekly basis. In January 2022, we celebrated the milestone of distributing over 1 million pounds of food to those in need! This amounts to approximately 19,300 families. We distribute food each Thursday evening from 5:00pm - 6:00pm. Family Food Center believes that everyone who visits our center on Thursdays for food distribution should be served. Therefore, we do not have income restrictions or limits on the number of times a person may visit the Center. A valid Jessamine County or Fayette County ID is all that is required for registration each week. In addition, Family Food Center sponsors weekly backpacks to Nicholasville Elementary School during the school year. This past school year marked the 10th year of participation in the school backpack program. To date, we have distributed approximately 4,200 backpacks to students! These packs provide each child with meals for the entire weekend. Family Food Center's goal is to have a community where all have access to good, nutritious food and everyone understands the short and long-term effects of hunger and poor nutrition. Our mission is to create a thriving community by providing access to healthy and nutritious food. We aim for these goals each Thursday by serving those in our local communities. Together, we are making a difference in our surrounding area!
