Information About

Food Bank




Food banks often get the food from companies or supermarkets with unsaleable stock, and also from donations from the general public, especially around holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas . In addition, the US Government provides a variety of surplus foods to food banks at minimal or no cost.

Food banks differ from Soup Kitchen s in that the food is not prepared, though some food banks may provide this service. Some banks serve as clearinghouses of large donations and serve numerous smaller organizations.
