Questions about the FEED Supper program

General FAQ
Q: How can one dollar help provide at least 10 meals?
A: Feeding America works directly with major manufacturers, retailers and other partners across the country to secure safe, healthy food that would otherwise go to waste. Through large-scale negotiating and nationwide donation programs, we're able to stretch your donation to make the biggest impact possible. Through our partnerships, Feeding America also works to rescue this food before it's wasted — making a difference for the people we serve and for our environment. Because of these successful partnerships, every dollar you donate to Feeding America helps secure and distribute at least 12 pounds of food — equivalent of 10 meals — through our nationwide network of food banks.

Q: How can I host a traditional Food Drive by collecting food and other grocery items?
A: If you are beginning to organize a traditional food drive to collect food and other grocery items, it's important that you do so in conjunction with your local food bank. Your local Feeding America member food bank can provide advice on food safety, what types of items to accept or refuse, and what timing makes the most sense for your event. Often, our member food banks have regularly scheduled food drives throughout the year, and your neighborhood efforts will have the maximum effect if held in conjunction with theirs.
