HOW THE FOOD BANK HELPS
The Food Bank serves as a conduit for accepting, sorting, packaging, storing, and distributing needed food and non-food essentials. The Food Bank stands in a constant state of readiness, and products collected for immediate disaster relief will be strategically allocated in conjunction with national relief efforts and in accordance to the America's Second Harvest assessment of non-perishables considered necessary for the affected areas.
The Food Bank sent nine truckloads of food and non-food essentials to help the hurricane victims of the Gulf region in 2005, with the trucks going to: Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi. In addition, Food Bank staff has been assisting with relief efforts in affected areas, as well as locally. As the situation and needs change in relief efforts, the Food Bank will respond accordingly to maintain effective, efficient, and optimal distribution to our network of partner agencies.
