SUPPORT
GIVE MONEY OR DONATE FOOD TO BENEFIT OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED.
GIVE MONEY
100% of your generous gift will be used to purchase food for Louisianans in need. You may direct your gift to the regional food bank of your choice or make a state-wide donation.
Food banks turn a donated dollar into more meals than if you donated food you’d purchase at the store. Rather than paying retail prices, your local food banks work with major manufacturers, retailers, and farmers to secure healthy foods and combat food waste.
$1 Donated = 4 Meals Donated
DONATE FOOD
Donate food items and other accepted goods to your local food bank. Nonperishable items, including some non-food goods, and produce items are accepted.
1.2 lbs of Food Donated = 1 Meal Donated
SUGGESTED DONATION ITEMS
Food Banks accept nearly all types of food, including nonperishable items and fresh produce. Due to safety and volume of donations, we prefer non-glass containers.
When donating food, please consider nutritional foods items that are low is sodium/salt and sugar.
