The Open Hand Kitchen at 1026 South Jackson St. serves free meals to our clients and those in need in our community.
We are open 365 days a year, serving dinner each day at 5 p.m. The cafeteria-style dining room offers our guests an entrée, vegetables, salad, dessert, bread, and beverage.
St. Vincent de Paul Louisville’s Open Hand Kitchen opened in October 1983 in St. Paul Catholic Church at 1026 South Jackson St. The Open Hand Kitchen relies heavily on dedicated groups of volunteers to serve anyone in need, no questions asked.
Food Pantry
The Food Pantry is 100% volunteer-run and is open twice weekly. Every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., clients receive fresh produce, frozen meats, poultry, fish, and pantry staples. Everyone deserves to eat a nutritious meal. We serve people with a variety of backgrounds, such as babies, toddlers, teenagers, single parents, Veterans, and seniors. These can be our existing clients and those in the neighboring Smoketown and Shelby Park areas.
This is all made possible because of the two dozen volunteers and influx of donations from Dare to Care, St. Vincent de Paul Louisville conferences, local businesses, churches, schools, and individuals.
St. Vincent de Paul Louisville conducts business in accordance with federal and local fair housing laws. We do not discriminate against any person based on race, color, religion, national origin, disability, age, gender, familial status, or sexual orientation.
