About Feeding America

Feeding America is the largest hunger-relief organization in the United States, supplying food through a nationwide network of food banks, pantries, and meal programs in communities across the country.

Rather than distributing food directly to individuals itself, Feeding America supports and coordinates a network of local food banks so they can reach neighbors facing hunger more efficiently, in both cities and rural areas.


A Nationwide Network

Feeding America's network of food banks rescues food from grocery stores, farms, manufacturers, and restaurants that would otherwise go to waste, redirecting it to families who need it.

Local food banks then distribute that food through pantries, school programs, mobile distributions, and senior meal programs tailored to what each community actually needs.


More Than Emergency Food

Beyond food distribution, the network also works on the root causes of hunger, connecting people to benefits programs, job training, and health resources that can help families become more food secure over time.

Because hunger affects rural and urban communities differently, local food banks adapt their programs to fit the realities of the neighborhoods they serve.
