SOCIAL MEDIA:
@FoodBankofDE
Since the start of the pandemic in March
2020, we have distributed more than 43
million pounds of food. Far too many in
our community are faced with difficult
decisions - pay the rent or buy food, pay
for medicine or eat? We step in so families
don’t have to make these difficult decisions.
In addition to emergency food services, we
also lift adults out of poverty by providing
training opportunities in food service and
warehousing/logistics and empower our neighbors through financial coaching, nutrition education and benefits application assistance. Our services assist more than 100,000 Delawareans.
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
For every dollar given to the Food Bank of Delaware, we can provide three meals to Delawareans in need. Generous donors enable us to provide not only emergency food through our network of partners, but also nutrition education, outreach and workforce training.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization. Last year we had more than 15,000 volunteer visits for a total of 46,234 hours donated. We have volunteer opportunities in Newark and Milford. Volunteers must be at least seven years old. Volunteers may sign up online at www.fbd.volunteerhub.com.
