How Food Link Works
Surplus and excess foods such as produce, deli items, dairy products, meats and baked goods are d by area grocers, restaurants, caterers, growers and individuals. |
With the help of volunteers, Food Link organizes and facilitates the collection of these products to distribute to recipient agencies and directly to those who are in need. |
Homeless shelters, soup kitchens, foster care group homes, emergency food pantries, treatment and rehabilitation centers, public housing sites, battered women's shelters, and senior citizen facilities are served or delivered the food where and when it is needed. |
A wide variety of people ultimately benefit from our services: the newly unemployed, young and single parent families, battered women, the elderly, mentally ill, disabled, the working poor and children. |
