Food Banks - Donations & Volunteers NEEDED
What Are Food Banks
A food bank is a large warehouse that receives, sorts, stores, and distributes perishable and non-perishable food to other organizations, called agencies, who then distribute that food to citizens. These agencies include food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, and after school programs. The agencies distribute food directly to families in need. Food Banks through donated funds are able to secure large bulk purchases of both perishable and non perishable items then distribute them to the areas with the most needs.
Midwest Food Band
Midwest Food Bank serves non-profit organizations such as food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, churches, and other non-profit organizations helping their community. Each month, a certain amount of time is set aside at each location for distribution. During that period, organizations can come to pick up food from a Midwest Food Bank location which they then distribute to people in their communities. Our multiple locations across the globe allow many non-profit organizations and their volunteers to take part in daily food bank operations and scheduled distributions. Our numerous volunteers make all of this possible!
