Treasure Coast Food Bank's food procurement team is responsible for building reliable partnerships with local and national donors. Through the support of food industry donors, the Food Bank receives surplus, donated food product to distribute to partner agencies in the region who feed the hungry.
Nationally, TCFB receives donations by means of an affiliation with Feeding America, the Nation’s Food Bank Network (FA). Donations are made by large food industry companies who donate to the Feeding America Food Bank Network which then allocates donations through the national distribution system to Food Banks throughout the USA. Although this is a large portion of our incoming food, we must rely on local donors for majority of the food needed for distribution.
Local donations come from various sources including Retailers, Wholesalers, Manufacturers, and Distributors within Indian River, Martin, St. Lucie and Okeechobee Counties. Support from local suppliers provides the Food Bank needed food and grocery products while reducing food industry waste. All local donations are transported and handled according to food safety standards by the Food Bank’s qualified staff. Donors can be assured that the Food Bank adheres to national standards and inventory control systems while insuring that their donation is reaching qualified food assistance programs. Can you help the needy people of the Treasure Coast by donating your surplus food products?
