Mission: About Us

Feeding America is the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief charity. Our mission is to feed America's hungry through a nationwide network of member food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger.

Each year, the Feeding America network provides food to more than 37 million low-income people facing hunger in the United States, including 14 million children and nearly 3 million seniors.

Our network of more than 200 food banks serves all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, securing and distributing more than 2.5 billion pounds of food and grocery products annually. Those member food banks support approximately 61,000 local charitable agencies and 70,000 programs, which provide food directly to individuals and families in need.

Hurricane Sandy Relief Efforts
So far, 150 truckloads--or 4.9 million pounds--of food and grocery items have been secured. Feeding America food banks have generously provided 22 of those truckloads. Feeding America food banks have been incredibly generous through offers for products and personnel—and members in the affected areas have expressed their deep gratitude for the outpouring of support from across the network.

Organizational Structure

The New York State Feeding America Network (formerly named America’s Second Harvest) is comprised of the ten regional food banks and food rescue organizations working together statewide to reduce statewide hunger. The NYS Feeding America Network rescues over 145,993,883 pounds of food annually and redistributes it to over 5447 agencies providing food to an estimated 3 million people annually.

In addition, the members provide leadership to improve hunger relief services including advocacy, education, technical assistance, and nutritional training statewide. The ten regional food banks and food rescue organizations, along with their subsidiary distribution organizations and branch warehouses, supply food through a variety of programs including soup kitchens, food pantries, emergency shelters, and senior meal programs, as well as numerous other charitable organizations. Additional information on the New York State members can be found at www.endhungryny.org.

Disaster Program

The NYS Network provides a central location and established system to allocate emergency food and services. The NYS Network provides combined resources of a large exiting food inventory, warehousing expertise, accessible warehouse space, certified warehouse personnel, fleets of refrigerated trucks, and expansive volunteers.

Feeding America Prepares for and Responds to Hurricane Earl

Feeding America food banks in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and Massachusetts have been preparing for Hurricane Earl’s potential landfall. Our network continues to work together to support each other so that our vital services continue helping those most in need, and to provide assistance to those newly in need as a result of this storm.

At this time, Feeding America has moved product ranging from disaster food boxes, nutritional supplements, water and other hydration drinks to areas of potential impact. Our work is closely coordinated with other nonprofits responding to this event and with government at all levels. The full scale of needed response is not yet known but if you are interested in making a donation, please go directly to local food bank websites to see how you can help. Your help is greatly appreciated for both this disaster and the everyday disaster of hunger in America.
