The smell of broth and cooked meats pour out of the kitchen at Douglass Boulevard Christian Church in Louisville s Highlands neighborhood.
Following the aroma, volunteers with Feed Louisville, a local mutual aid organization that provides meals and supplies to Louisville s homeless population, move in and out of the cookery hands full.
In the corner of the kitchen, Rhona Kamar, co-founder of Feed Louisville and chef of 27 years, stands with the refrigerator door open giving marching orders to a couple of volunteers helping her prepare meals for tonight’s drop-off.
It’s roughly 4 p.m. and the winter day has been kind to the city thus far 52-degrees in mid-January after several 30-degree nights and the occasional snow dusting.
