Ending Hunger in Our Community for Good

Hunger isn’t a logistics issue. It’s a justice issue.

For more than 40 years, the Food Depository has been driven by a mission that puts the needs of our neighbors first. We believe that food is a basic human right and work together to advance solutions that end hunger for good.

Your support is an investment in programs and services needed to lift our neighbors out of poverty and move forward into a secure and healthy future. You can make a real difference.
