Change Today, Change Tomorrow is no stranger to the fight against food insecurity. The nonprofit has been providing free groceries to residents in west Louisville for the past three years through its Feed the West program. After realizing that transportation can be a barrier for the people they serve, Change Today, Change Tomorrow created the ‘”Free Food Kiosks” program to bring food directly to those who need it. “We want our residents not to have to leave their neighborhood to get food,” said Icyreen Ford, an organizer with Change Today Change Tomorrow. The Free Food Kiosks will be available Tuesday through Thursday, weekly, at different locations. On Tuesdays, the kiosk will be stationed at the New Leaf Clinic at 215 West Breckinridge Street.On Wednesdays, the kiosk will be stationed at 2234 West Muhammad Ali Boulevard.On Thursdays, the kiosk will be stationed at 717 South 24th Street. The kiosks will be open starting at 12 p.m., and will stay open until they run out of food.You do not need to sign up to get groceries from the Kiosk. However, Ford said you will be asked to sign in and to provide some personal data, so the organization can better tailor its services to who it’s serving.”We ask that you sign in with your name, what area you’re coming from and your zip code. Then, some data questions like, Is this your first time with us? How often do you experience food insecurity? And do you have healthy produce options in your neighborhood besides Feed the West?” Ford said.On Wednesday, the kiosk kicked off its first day of operation. Dawn Gwyn, a Park Hill resident, got groceries from the station on Muhammad Ali Boulevard.”It means a lot considering what other people could be going through right now,” Gwyn said. “This is just a way that God’s proving his light and showing his mercy on us.”Ford said this mission warms her heart, because food insecurity is something she struggled with as a child. “I just know how hard it is to go through your day being hungry, not knowing where you’re going to get your next meal. So it feels really good to alleviate that for someone else,” Ford said.The organization is in need of volunteers to help work the kiosks as well.
