Our common goal is simple: help people get the food and resources they need to thrive. Everything we do focuses on getting nutritious food to communities – from sourcing food donations to advocating for policies that end hunger.
Feeding America is a nationwide network of 200 member food banks that leads the fight against hunger in the U.S. In 2021, 53 million people were served by the charitable food system. As a result of COVID-19, Feeding America provided 5.2 billion meals to people facing hunger, serving individuals, children, families, seniors in rural, suburban and urban areas across the U.S. Currently, the USDA reports that 34 million people, which is 1 in 10, face hunger, including 9 million children. We work through 60,000 food pantries and meal programs and engage more than 2 million volunteers monthly in communities across the U.S. Feeding America also supports programs that improve food security among the people we serve; educates the public about the issue of hunger; and advocates for legislation that protects people who are facing hunger.
