As Holidays Approach, ResCare Community Living Donates $400,000 to Local Food Banks Across the Country

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--To help address hunger and food insecurity this holiday season, ResCare Community Living is donating $400,000 to local food banks in the communities it serves. 80 food banks in 27 different states will be receiving donations. ResCare employees will also be conducting food drives and volunteering onsite at their local food banks to help distribute meals and other food items to individuals and families in need.

As communities across the United States continue to experience challenges related to rising food costs, supply chain issues and unemployment, food banks have become even more of a necessity.

We hope these donations will go a long way in assisting more of our neighbors in need this holiday season.”
