About Feeding America:

• Feeding America's mission is to advance change in America by ensuring equitable access to nutritious food for all in partnership with food banks, policymakers, supporters and the communities we serve. 
• Feeding America is the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization. 
• Through a network of 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs, Feeding America provides meals to millions of people each year. 

Feeding America's Work:

• When you support Feeding America, you are helping our nationwide network of food banks deliver programs at the front line of hunger. Programs like school-based food pantries, emergency disaster relief, and Kids’ Cafe. 
• Hunger is a complex issue. When people face hunger, they often struggle to meet other basic needs as well — such as housing, employment, and healthcare. That’s why Feeding America is committed to more than providing food for people in need.
