All canned goods and non-perishable and/or monetary donations are greatly appreciated. Fans may also donate at participating organizations or at the Lynn Stadium training center during normal business hours.

ABOUT THE LORD'S KITCHEN
The Lord's Kitchen was founded in 1988 as an outreach of Evangel World Prayer Center. This multi-cultural church birthed and nurtured The Lord's Kitchen from its start on Christmas Day 1988. Located at 2732 South 5th Street, Louisville, Kentucky in the shadows of historic Churchill Downs, The Lord's Kitchen has faithfully fed the needy, 365 days a year, 7 days a week, for 24 years.
The Lord's Kitchen's most recent addition to this outreach is our feeding site at The Corner of Hope which opened in 2010. It is located at 18th and Standard Avenue, one of Louisville's most economically distressed neighborhoods. It quickly gained community support and energized the neighborhood.
In addition to the two feeding sites, The Lord's Kitchen blesses the local community each year with a Thanksgiving Food Box Give-Away, and a Christmas Food Box Give-Away.
This year over 2,500 chickens and turkeys, 1,900 boxes of food were given to people in need. However, there is no relaxing on our end due to the needs of Louisville being so overwhelmingly insurmountable. We are stepping into more of the urgent needs to try to do a little more each month than we did the prior month.
Another annual outreach is The Buy A Coat/Warm-A-Heart event. This event is held each December and distributes hundreds of coats to needy children in the area. In 2015 Buy A Coat/Warm-A-Heart gave away 1,200 coats, and gifts.
