Operation Feed’em is a Christ-centered outreach ministry committed to sharing the love, hope, and saving power of Jesus with a hurting and broken world. Rooted in Scripture and the Great Commission, we serve individuals burdened by addiction, homelessness, isolation, and despair by offering both physical nourishment and the spiritual Bread of Life. Our desire is to walk faithfully beside widows, the fatherless, and anyone longing for redemption, bringing light where there is darkness and hope where there is hopelessness. Through compassionate service, evangelism, and meaningful relationships, we work to create communities where the broken find healing, the lost discover new life, and every person has the opportunity to encounter the transforming grace of Jesus Christ.
We exist to feed the body, encourage the heart, and point every person to the hope found in Jesus Christ. Our mission is to meet physical needs with compassion while leading people toward the life-changing love of Jesus.
Our vision is to bring the hope of Jesus to hurting people and see lives transformed by His saving grace. We strive to shine His light in dark places and lead every person toward redemption and restoration.
We prepare hot, freshly made meals and deliver them directly to people in need, whether on the streets or in shelters. Along with every meal, we offer meaningful conversations that build trust and open the door to hope. We also visit recovery centers to share the message of Jesus and bring food and encouragement to those walking through difficult seasons.

What started in downtown Louisville at Waterfront Park as a simple effort to serve the homeless has grown into a movement of weekly gatherings, community volunteers, and expanding outreach. Today, Operation Feed’em not only provides meals to the underserved, but serves local recovery centers and halfway houses, walking with individuals through addiction recovery and reintegration after incarceration. The vision is clear: lives are being changed, hope is being restored, and we need your support to keep going. Donate today.
