Pantries & Soup Kitchens

Much of the Food Bank’s hunger relief network is made up of food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters that provide food directly to the public.

Our partners open their doors to any member of their community in need of help. For some the pantries and soup kitchens provide their only source of nutrition, for others they help supplement fixed incomes or limited grocery budgets allowing people to stretch their income a little further.

If you are in need of help, or if you are looking to be of service in your community, please visit our Agency Locator to find the Food Bank partners nearest to you.
