About

Feeding America is a U.S. nonprofit organization and the nation’s largest hunger-relief network. The organization supports a nationwide network of more than 250 food banks and approximately 60,000 community partners, including food pantries and meal programs. Its work focuses on helping people facing food insecurity access nutritious food while addressing the broader causes of hunger.

The organization traces its roots to the emergence of food banking in the late 1960s and was formally established as America’s Second Harvest before adopting the Feeding America name in 2008. Today, it combines food distribution, food rescue, disaster response, research, advocacy and partnerships with communities, policymakers and businesses. Its network reaches communities across the United States and supports tens of millions of people experiencing food insecurity.
