Serving the most vulnerable and ensuring no one is hungry is the top priority for our food banks. The COVID19 pandemic has already had a huge impact on our neighbors, friends and family in the region, and our area’s food banks are stepping up to serve those who need it the most.
As normal operations including in-kind donation supply chains are suspended in order to keep the public, employees and clients safe, food banks are deploying new strategies and offerings, like emergency boxes for delivery and drive-up pickups of groceries, to reach the most vulnerable people as quickly and safely as possible.
While what we take in this category varies by city, here is what is generally included.
Canned foods
Food in jars
Packaged snack bars
Food in boxes
Shelf stable beverages
