Be a part of The Food Bank in whatever way works for you

 If you need more nutritious food to support a healthy lifestyle, get food at no cost to you at a local pantry or other partner agency. If you want to help your neighbors, give, volunteer or join us at an event. Your part in The Food Bank community can be different every day!

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.

Meet Connie! She has volunteered at The Food Bank Market since 2024. She has served more than 100 hours with us. She regularly bags groceries for neighbors and helps with checkout. When asked what she likes most about volunteering at The Market, Connie responded, "Oh gosh, the people! Everyone is so grateful and I hear thank you from everyone.” We are so grateful for you, Connie!

The Score Against Hunger Game is just one week from today, and we are looking for 5 to 10 more volunteers to join us! This is a fun opportunity for fans to engage with tailgaters while helping neighbors in our community. On Saturday, Sept. 19, volunteers will travel in pairs or small groups around Memorial Stadium parking lots, visiting with fans and tailgaters to talk about the Score Against Hunger campaign and help raise money for The Food Bank. Learn more or register to volunteer here: https://buff.ly/qzUl6CE

Grateful for this milestone and excited to see how we grow to serve the evolving needs of our service area into the future!
