The Food was procured from purchased Food, donations, the government, and our Food recovery program. The Food Bank primarily distributes this Food through a network of more than 300 strategically located member agencies. The Food distribution program also includes programs such as emergency Food drive thru distributions due to the economic crisis related to the pandemic and college and university programs.
