In-Kind Donations
Our In-Kind Donors
The Association of Independent Food Banks would like to acknowledge our in-kind food and grocery donors. Thanks to their generosity, we are able to provide food and supplies to those in need throughout our communities.
Truth is that 1 out of every 5 truck loads of food are rejected. Often times this food is perfectly good and fit for consumption. The Association of Independent Food Banks prioritizes salvaging waste food and redistributing it in the most effective ways possible. If you would like to become an in-kind donor of perishable and non-perishable food, please contact us using the link below.
