Our Vision: A Hunger-free Community<\/h2>\n

We envision a hungry-free community where everyone has access to nutritious food. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the US, cities will often have a single food bank which acts as a centralized warehouse and will serve several hundred front line agencies. Like a blood bank, that warehouse serves as a single collection and distribution point for food donations. A food bank operates a lot like a for-profit food distributor, but in this case it distributes food to charities, not to food retailers. There is often no charge to the charities, but some food banks do charge a small “shared maintenance” fee to help defray the cost of storage and distribution.<\/p>\n

For many US food banks, most of their donated food comes from food left over from the normal processes of for-profit companies. It can come from any part of the food chain, e.g. from growers who have produced too much or whose food is not sufficiently visually appealing; from manufacturers who overproduced; or from retailers who over-ordered. Often the product is approaching or past its “sell by” date. In such cases, the food bank liaises with the food industry and with regulators to make sure the food is safe and legal to distribute and eat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
