Mission

THE MISSION OF GOD'S PANTRY FOOD BANK IS REDUCING HUNGER BY WORKING TOGETHER TO FEED KENTUCKY COMMUNITIES. GOD'S PANTRY FOOD BANK ENVISIONS A NOURISHED LIFE FOR EVERY KENTUCKIAN.

  • GOD'S PANTRY FOOD BANK IS THE LARGEST FOOD BANK IN KENTUCKY AND INCLUDES ONE-THIRD OF THE STATE GEOGRAPHICALLY AND BY POPULATION WITHIN ITS SERVICE AREA. ITS MISSION IS REDUCING HUNGER BY WORKING TOGETHER TO FEED KENTUCKY COMMUNITIES. ITS VISION IS A NOURISHED LIFE FOR EVERY KENTUCKIAN. TO REACH THE 280,000+ FOOD INSECURE KENTUCKIANS WITHIN ITS 50-COUNTY SERVICE AREA, THE FOOD BANK DISTRIBUTES MORE THAN 51 MILLION POUNDS OF FOOD ANNUALLY THROUGH MORE THAN 500 FOOD PANTRIES AND MEAL PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE GROCERIES OR MEALS AT NO COST TO CLIENTS EXPERIENCING HUNGER. THE FOOD BANK IS A FEEDING AMERICA AFFILIATE. THE FOOD BANK IS NOT A RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION AND DOES NOT GIVE PREFERENCE OR REFUSE SERVICE TO ANY CLIENT OR PARTNER AGENCY BASED ON ETHNICITY, GENDER, RELIGION, OR OTHER DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC.

    Expenses $78,063,248 · Grants $63,940,973 · Revenue $1,678,340

  • THE FOOD BANK WORKS WITH NONPROFIT PARTNERS IN EVERY COUNTY WITHIN ITS SERVICE AREA. IN SOME AREAS, THERE ARE STILL NOT ENOUGH FOOD RESOURCES TO MEET THE NEED. IN THOSE CASES, THE FOOD BANK OPERATES THE MOBILE PANTRY PROGRAM, A DIRECT FOOD DELIVERY PROGRAM USED TO SERVE COUNTIES WITH HIGHER-THAN-AVERAGE FOOD INSECURITY AND HEALTH AND INCOME DISPARITIES AND LOWER FOOD DISTRIBUTION SERVICE. WITH THIS PROGRAM, OUR REFRIGERATED TRUCKS DELIVER A SELECTION OF NUTRIENT-DENSE FOOD DIRECTLY INTO COUNTIES IN NEED. IN FY25, THE MOBILE PANTRY PROGRAM OPERATED IN 22 COUNTIES AND PROVIDED A RELIABLE SOURCE OF HEALTHY GROCERIES, INCLUDING MEAT, MILK, AND FRESH PRODUCE, TO FAMILIES.

    Expenses $3,614,673 · Grants $3,614,673

  • GOD'S PANTRY FOOD BANK AIMS TO REACH ANYONE WHO IS HUNGRY IN THE 50 COUNTIES IT SERVES, BUT SOME POPULATIONS REQUIRE SPECIFIC STRATEGIES TO BE SUCCESSFUL. SENIOR CITIZENS ARE AT A HIGHER RISK FOR FOOD INSECURITY DUE TO LIMITED INCOMES AND INCREASED HEALTH CHALLENGES. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE KENTUCKY DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, THE FOOD BANK DIRECTLY PROVIDES FOOD TO AN AVERAGE OF MORE THAN 14,000 SENIOR CITIZENS EACH MONTH THROUGH THE COMMODITY SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES A SELECTION OF HEALTHY BASIC STAPLES FOR SENIORS AT 78 LOCATIONS. ONCE ENROLLED, CLIENTS RECEIVE A SELECTION OF NUTRITIOUS FOODS AT THE SAME SITE, DAY, AND TIME MONTHLY. USDA IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PROVIDER, EMPLOYER, AND LENDER.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
