Guide to Food Bank Organizations

Food bank organizations need companies to help them save the community's hungry


Food bank organizations run the gamut from national associations to the food pantry at your church. Most are run independently, relying solely on the generosity of the community to stay afloat. They work hard to get donations, grants and volunteers just to survive. They do all this because every day, hunger is experienced in every community in the US. Millions of people rely on food banks to get by.

Charitable food distributors can't do it alone. They need companies like yours to step in and make a difference. It's a chance for you to stand apart from your competitors. Yes, you're giving time and money, but you're also getting a sense of satisfaction and notoriety. People will notice the emphasis your company puts on its community. They'll choose to do business with you. Consider:

1. Matching donations to the local food bank organization.

2. Signing up your company to become a major food bank volunteer.

3. Standing up for the local food bank org before legislators.

Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Donate to charitable food bank organizations to help your community Companies can have a huge impact on food bank organizations in their area. Monetary donations go the furthest because food banks can buy much more for the dollar than you can. Food bank grants go a step further and allow organizations to work toward eradicating the hunger problem.

I recommend:  Food for the Hungry is an international food bank program that uses USAID special funds. Through USAID, every dollar that's donated translates into $18 of help through food bank grants. Make a company donation to the faith-based organization through the matching funds grant program. The Greater Boston Food Bank allows you to become a monthly donor or become a matching gift company.

Become a food bank volunteer to make a difference Food pantry organizations rely on volunteers to help them end hunger in America. They depend on the volunteer work of millions of Americans who know that they can make a difference. Get your company involved in the local community by signing up as a food bank volunteer. Employees can tutor kids at a Kids Cafe, transport food to pantries, repackage donated food or perform clerical work.

I recommend:  Second Harvest is a renowned food bank program that spans the nation, distributing food to more than 200 member food banks. The America's Second Harvest Network obtains and sends out more than 2 billion pounds of donated food and grocery products every year. Search for volunteering opportunities in your community. Community Harvest is a not-for-profit organization that provides immediate food assistance to people in need in Indiana. Organize a food drive through your company to benefit Community Harvest. Use MagicYellow to find local food banks in dozens of cities.

Advocate for food pantry organizations Advocacy is key to food bank agencies. To truly make a difference, you must stay up-to-date on legislative and policy developments that pertain to hunger issues. It's also important to stay updated on food bank activities.

I recommend:  Food Bank of Central New York is a not-for-profit food bank org with the goal of eliminating hunger through food distribution. The organization provides more than 600 programs through the state. Register for the Advocacy Alert Signup so you can stay on top of the issues. The Community Foodbank of New Jersey fights poverty and hunger by distributing food and products, creating new programs and providing education and training. All sectors of society are involved, including corporations. Become an advocate by staying up-to-date on issues and by getting involved in events.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
  • Give as much time as possible as a food bank volunteer. Get your neighbors, friends, children and business colleagues involved, too.
