Host A Food Drive
Canned Food Drive versus Virtual Food Drive, what's the difference? In the post pandemic world, many things have changed. While Canned Food Drives used to be the only option for donating food, in recent years virtual food drives have paved the way for new ways to give.
Upcoming Food Distributions
Accessing nutritious groceries is essential for maintaining a healthy home and ensuring your family has the energy to thrive every day. If you are currently facing food insecurity, we have made it easy for you to find our Upcoming Food Distributions in your area.
Benefits Enrollment
Freestore Foodbank understands that many families struggle with putting food on the table, especially during difficult times. That’s why we are here to help. We are committed to building trust and ensuring that everyone in our community has access to the resources they need to thrive.
Bea Taylor Market
Freestore Foodbank offers a choice pantry, much like a regular grocery store, to those in need. This means that families struggling to find vital nutrition can select the items that fit the needs of their family, giving them one less thing to worry about.
School Pantries
School Pantries were designed to provide permanent on-site food assistance at local schools with high food insecurity rates. This newer method of addressing food insecurity for families places pantries on school grounds with the purpose of having year-round accessibility to meal prep items, student-friendly snacks, and health and hygiene items.
Power Pack
Each Friday during the school year, Freestore Foodbank sends packs of food, known as Power Packs, home with students to ensure they have something to eat on weekends. Each Power Pack contains over a dozen food items, which are shelf-stable and kid-friendly.
