FAQ

What is the goal of Feed the Need?
Feed the Need puts hunger in the spotlight. And it helps the Food Bank provide for those who would otherwise go unfed. In summer, the need for food increases but donations do not. You can help by giving food and money to Feed the Need.

Who benefits from Feed the Need?
Some of the 450,000 people at risk of hunger spread throughout the 34 counties served by the Food Bank. More than 18% of them are elderly, and a third are children.
