The Sister Visitor Center is an emergency assistance program that provides the most basic of human needs such as food and financial assistance to Louisville residents living west of 9th Street and north of Broadway. We are a Dare to Care food provider and an Area Community Ministries affiliate.

The Sister Visitor Center began in 1969 in an effort to help meet the needs of those living in the Portland, Shawnee and Russell neighborhoods of West Louisville. The heart of the Sister Visitor Center lies in the command of Christ to feed the hungry, clothe the naked and shelter the homeless.

Most recently, in partnership with Dare to Care, Sister Visitor Center transformed our food pantry into a Pantry of Choice. The new pantry uses a supermarket model and provides an increased level of dignity and empowerment to our clients as they select healthy, nutritious food to feed themselves and their families.

Sister Visitor Center visitors are encouraged to wear a mask when entering our financial service office or the food pantry.

The Sister Visitor Center is supported in part through grants from
