Our Partners
Alongside more than 200 partner food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters, we nourish families where they live, work, play or go to school. Together, we’re distributing nearly 21 million meals a year and addressing hunger on a grassroots level to ensure that everyone has enough to eat.
New Community Partnerships: Check out this article from a recent issue of Harvest to see examples of creative thinking and collaboration happening in our community.
If you need assistance or want to lend a hand at your local food pantry, we can help you locate the one nearest you.
If you’re interested in joining our network of partners, we’d love to hear from you.
Thank you to our sponsors! (2023)
