  • Food Banks

Food banks receive donations from other non-profits, food retailers, manufacturers, growers, producers and the USDA Food banks collect, weigh, sort, pack, and distribute food to various community partners. These partners serve by operating as a distribution site where community members in need can visit during specific days and times to pick up food, and often, other essential supplies. Please call the food bank to confirm distribution site and schedule. The food/resource pick up line will be similar to a drive through.
