Agency Shopping
Food Bank member agencies that provide meals or food boxes are able to purchase food at a rate of 18-cents per pound. Some products are cheaper, depending on the type and amount of the product. The 18-cents per pound is referred to as our agency Shared Maintenance Fee.
Agencies, from communities located in our 20 county service area, visit the Food Bank shopping floor. They can choose from a variety of donated products from corporate food producers. The national average cost of food purchased at a grocery store is $1.59 per pound. This savings gives the agencies more purchasing power, reducing their food budget and freeing money for other programs.
