Food Bank of Northeast Louisiana Charity Profile
IN A BUSINESS SENSE, all food banks are distribution systems. Food banks are analogous to a grocery chain. A large grocery chain would receive food from thoughout the nation, warehouse that food, distribute the food to individual stores, and then sell the food to consumers. Our food bank receives food from throughout the nation, warehouses that food, distributes the food to charitable social agencies throughout the twelve parishes of Northeast Louisiana, and those agencies feed the needy. The distribution system is the core function of any true food bank.

Food Bank of Northeast Louisiana Donation Information
THE DISTRIBUTION OF MILLIONS of pounds of food throughout Northeast Louisiana requires significant resources in all areas. Just like any business, we have to have money to operate a very extensive distribution system that provides food to thousands of people throughout the region. We rely heavily on community support to make this happen. One dollar donated to this food bank enables us to distribute just over ten pounds of food. That can feed a family of four almost two meals.
