Food Banks

There are thousands of food banks all over the world on six continents that are distributing literal tons of food to thousands of non-profit community or government agencies such as food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, orphanages, schools, etc. Food banks are typically located in cities “which run a centralized warehouse.” How do these food banks donate all this food free of charge? People from all over the place donate food they don’t need, canned goods, vegetables, anything you can imagine. They even get a lot of donations from growers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. Each food bank has multiple donation places set up and then they go around and collect the donations. After this, they sort all the donated food and distribute the food to the needy. Almost all the workers at the food banks are volunteers as well so the entire operation is non-profit; they do all this hard work for free in order to help feed the hungry. You too can help feed the needy by volunteering at your local food bank. You’d be surprised how easy and rewarding the work is; even an hour or two helps out a lot.
