Rural Delivery
Some rural communities in the Food Bank’s 20 county service area have few resources for food assistance and other social services.
To better serve these communities, the Food Bank delivers a truckload of staple food items which are distributed to needy families. Each quarter, a Food Bank truck is unloaded at a church were selected families receive as much as 100 pounds of food, plus personal care items and laundry detergent.
In 2009, the Rural Delivery Program carried 110,000 pounds of food to sites at Luminary, in Bledsoe County, New Martin, in Van Buren County and Dalton, Georgia.
