The Heart Behind the Auction
With Kroger’s Zero Hunger | Zero Waste initiative, the goal is audacious yet profound: eliminating hunger in communities by 2025. Jake Cannon, Division President and a Dare to Care Board Member, emphasized, “Our commitment is unwavering. We align our resources and efforts to ensure no neighbor in Kentucky faces food insecurity. By coupling luxury bourbon with charity, we provide a celebratory platform to effect meaningful change.”
Impacting Change
Last year, Kroger’s philanthropic ventures led to the donation of 3.8 million pounds of food to Feeding America Food Pantries. This auction extends that mission, directly benefiting Dare to Care Food Bank, which tirelessly combats hunger around Louisville. “This collaboration is indispensable,” remarked Vincent James, Dare to Care’s President. “Kroger’s continuous support and community participation sustain our mission to nourish families across the region.”

The auction runs until November 24 at 9 p.m. Participate online at ultimatebourbonauction.com to make your bids count. Remember, each purchase is not just a transaction but a step towards eradicating hunger.

For bourbon lovers and philanthropists alike, this is more than a chance to score a coveted bottle—it’s an opportunity to pour hope into many people’s lives. Don’t miss out; your perfect bourbon awaits, and so does the chance to make a difference.
