Food Sourcing & Distribution

The Food Bank works every day to provide nutritious food to people struggling with hunger. After food arrives at our distribution centers and is sorted by our staff and volunteers, it is then distributed to our network of nonprofit partner agencies —organizations that include food pantries, no-cost markets, meal sites, and delivery programs.

Our partner agencies are on the frontlines everyday serving people in need and working to end hunger. They form a diverse, dynamic, and passionate network committed to ending hunger at its root causes. And they rely on the Food Bank for consistent access to food, all year round.

Thanks to partnerships with most local grocery stores the Food Bank and our partner agencies can pick up and distribute millions of pounds of food each year that would have otherwise been unnecessarily discarded. 

The donations from our retail partners consist of high quality, protein rich items such as meats, produce, deli foods, and baked goods.

Food gets to the Food Bank’s partner agencies and into the community in multiple ways: 

• Some agencies come directly to our branches to pick up needed items. These agencies make appointments and are scheduled on a regular basis. 
• Other agencies place orders with the Food Bank, and the food is then delivered to them, free of charge, on a regular basis.
