Improving Community Organizations
Abound Food Care partners with pantries, food banks, and other nonprofits that can receive excess edible food and distribute it to where it’s needed most. We offer guidance, support, and a range of services that can help these partners build capacity and strengthen communities.
The Problem
Community organizations, including pantries, food banks, and other nonprofits, are often stretched thin on resources – volunteers, logistics, equipment, and supplies -and worst of all, sometimes the available food supply cannot meet the demand. Increased scrutiny of food handling procedures, along with demands for tracking and reporting of donations, further complicate the mission of getting nutritious food to community members needing help.
In 2020, 6.7% of all U.S. households reported they used a food pantry. Equivalent to
22 Million
People
This was a dramatic increase from the national average the year prior being 4.7%
