How does The Food Bank help?

Food insecurity, or lack of consistent access to enough nutritious food for an active lifestyle, affects 100% of counties in the US. With the help of 200 schools and 145 partners like pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and other agencies, The Food Bank acquires and distributes millions of pounds of food each year. When our neighbors find it hard to get enough nutritious food, we help fill the gaps and get this essential resource into the hands of kids, families, seniors, veterans and more.
