The organization has evolved through its years of existence, developing new programs often more suited to the times and needs.

Since 1972, St Matthews Area Ministries (St. MAM) has been a cornerstone of Louisville’s 40207 community, serving residents facing chronic or episodic hardships. As a collaborative member of Louisville’s Association of Community Ministries (ACM), St. MAM also serves half of the 40220 area.
To our neighbors who need it most, St. MAM provides emergency financial assistance, helping to prevent utility disconnections and evictions. With a well-stocked food pantry, it ensures that no neighbor goes hungry, offering fresh produce, proteins, non-perishable items, and personal care supplies. Through an early essentials room and seasonal drives, St. MAM equips parents and caregivers to care for infants and youth. Finally, through its numerous opportunities for individuals to serve, St. MAM provides purpose and meaningful work for hundreds of volunteers at all stages of life.
By pulling together, St. MAM is creating a brighter future for the entire community.
