How Louisville 'Dares to Care'

On Thanksgiving Day 1969, 9-year-old Bobby Ellis died of hunger in Jefferson County. As news spread, people came together and vowed never to let it happen again. Louisvilians of every faith, political party and zip code rallied together, calling on the community to "Dare to Care." Now, 56 years later, Dare to Care Food Bank works to make sure no family in the community goes hungry.
