The two sprung into action and created Feeding Louisville, which is a team of hundreds of volunteers and dozens of restaurants that work together to prepare and deliver hot meals directly to those who might not have one otherwise. 

“This work is crucial every day. Homelessness is a humanitarian crisis everyday so people need to have food brought to them… food, water, services,” Kamar said. “Yes, this work will continue post-pandemic.”

Feed Louisville has expanded its outreach to provide clothing, tents, and sleeping bags. 

While they are delivering these items to homeless populations, Food Ching, a new third party food delivering service is using its change to help Feed Louisville continue to make one. 

“It’s free for restaurants, it’s less expensive for customers, we pay our drivers better than the other services do and we have the Feed Louisville partnership,” Food Ching Louisville owner Gene Stein said. 

Instead of charging restaurants, Food Ching does a 15% markup on menu items.

Not charging commission means partner restaurants can save money and give more. Food Ching customers have the option to round their total up to the next dollar.

“$2 supplies a meal to someone everyday. That's huge. That's not a lot of money. Every time you round up your change just a little bit you get to help someone where you didn't have that chance or that opportunity before,” Green said. "That’s amazing for our community. We’re very grateful.” 

The main ingredient in the meals is one you can’t buy off of a shelf. 

“It’s important to understand that we serve healthy, fresh meals everyday, that our food is made with love and that the people here work very hard to make sure that people get the best possible food that we can put out," Green said.
