Noah’s Kitchen, located in Louisville, KY, states that founder Adam Ursprung had the belief that a restaurant could be built on love, purpose and community. Today, every meal served at Noah’s Kitchen helps make a difference in the lives of others. 

“We’re a mission-driven restaurant,” owner Adam Ursprung said. “I opened this restaurant with a sheer desire to give away money to those in need.”  “Our goal this calendar year is $100,000,” Ursprung said. “Next year, we want to get to at least $150,000.”  

According to local news, all the money goes toward Kentucky nonprofits focused on human trafficking, foster care and adoption, and addiction recovery. This includes organizations like Hope Rescued, Sunrise Children’s Services, Northeast Christian Church’s Love the ‘Ville Outreach, Boys & Girls Haven, Shelbi Shutt Ministries, The University of Louisville Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Tim Tebow Foundation.  

“When I stopped clinging to my money and I started giving it away, my heart grew exponentially,” said Ursprung in an interview. “We have to pay our rent, and pay our employees, but once we get that covered—and all of our expenses—any profit goes to the organizations we support.”
