It's Pasta Bowl Time in the Bluegrass! 

It’s that time of year again. Bowl season is upon us. The teams – the Macaroni Noodles and the Ravioli O’s – have waited a whole year to renew their rivalry. Along with our sponsor – Houchens Food Group - Feeding America, Kentucky’s Heartland is ready to kick off the 2026 Pasta Bowl.

All we need now is you! In the Pasta Bowl, the team with the most votes will be crowned the champion. With each donation, you get to cast a vote and help feed kids in the Heartland. Which kid-friendly pasta has what it takes to earn your vote? Macaroni or Ravioli? Can’t decide? Ask a few kids to help make your selection.

Every donation counts, and every vote counts. It may be hard to imagine, but 1 in every 4 children faces hunger right here in the Commonwealth. That’s nearly 56,000 in our service area alone. But you can help change that. This is your chance to score a touchdown for the kids of Kentucky’s Heartland. 

All donations go directly to our Feeding Kids campaigns – like the Backpack and School Pantry Programs. Both help ensure that children have access to nutritious meals when they need them most. And you can play an important part in that game plan. So join your favorite team today.

Make a donation, cast a vote for your team during your checkout, and help us tackle childhood hunger. We greatly appreciate your support, and may the best team win!
