How You Can Support Food Banks During COVID-19
Food banks across the country are doing what they do best – feeding people in need within their communities. And we are doing what we do best, which is continuing to support our food bank partners.
What are food banks doing during the COVID-19 outbreak?
Feeding America and food banks across the country continue to mobilize their response to the pandemic, as they deploy new distributions, many of which are drive-through and outdoor, to maximize social distancing. They are distributing emergency food boxes, working with school districts and after-school programs to offer grab-and-go cold meals for children and families to help fill the gap while schools are closed.
How can you help?
- You can help by donating to your local food bank or one of our partner food banks below.
- If you are healthy and able, consider volunteering at your local food bank.
- Treat yourself to a “quarantine snack pack” or "happy hour box" and the proceeds will be sent to our partner food banks.
