About this organization
Mission
Feeding Northeast Florida (FNEFL) is Your Community Food Bank: the community’s largest hunger-relief network, working to help the nearly 271,000 individuals across eight counties in Northeast Florida who struggle to put food on the table. Feeding Northeast Florida rescues high-quality food that would otherwise likely be sent to landfills and uses it to feed community members in need. Working in partnership with retailers, manufacturers, and farms, we rescued over eight thousand tons of food in 2018. Feeding Northeast Florida works to ensure that children and families, seniors, and veterans have the food and hope that they need so they can focus on building a foundation for a stronger tomorrow.
About
General Food Distribution & Pack Programs: As N.E. Florida's regional food bank, Feeding Northeast Florida collects, stocks, processes and distributes food donated from local and national food industry donors, local farms/cooperatives, community food drives and local gleaning events. We also purchase nutritious food and produce to build warehouse inventory and provide greater selection to our nonprofit agency partners, who receive food from us either without, or at greatly reduced, cost. Our "Pack" programs build both general and customized healthy food packs tailored to meet the nutritious needs and preferences of groups ranging from Title 1 elementary school students to individual adults, families, homebound seniors, military veterans, or Holocaust survivors. Our weekend Snack Pack Program feeds the many children within our service area whose only reliable weekday food source is the free or reduced breakfast or lunch that their household income qualifies them to receive weekdays at school. Designed to help carry them through the weekend, SnackPacks include kid-friendly foods that are nutritious and easy to eat. Brought home on Fridays, these packs help children bridge the weekend meal gap that otherwise might see them eating only one or two meals a day, leaving them hungry, weak and unable to focus on their work when returning to school. For the many adults, seniors and families struggling with hunger, our Nutrition Pack Program can be customized to feed groups with specific dietary or kosher needs. The packs generally contain healthy dry goods, fresh produce, and other pantry staples that can help food-insecure people meet their daily nutritional needs. Regardless of their financial hardships, the availablity of our healthy Nutrition Packs can help ease the difficult financial challenges many face when they have to choose between paying for medicine, utilities, transportation or food.
