About

We work every day to provide food to people in need while advancing long-term solutions to end hunger in our communities. For 45 years, the Food Bank has served as the central hub of a hunger relief network that has grown to 700+ partner programs across a 34-county region, including no-cost food markets, pantries, meal sites, and a host of initiatives serving children, adults and seniors.

We know that hunger is more than a single empty stomach or individual experience. Hunger is a community-wide symptom of not having enough, not having enough nutritious food, enough income, enough voice in the decisions that impact us. It’s a symptom of barriers to employment, education, housing, and healthcare

We all experience the effects of hunger in our communities. And together we can build a future where everyone has access to the food and essential resources we need to thrive. Where every voice matters. Where we all share responsibility for each other and our common good.

We work systemically to achieve this vision through our network of 700+ no-cost markets, pantries, meal sites ,and delivery programs.
