- Description: Feeding the Valley serves as a center to gather and distribute donated food products. We collaborate with member partner agencies that receive the food from our warehouse and then distribute to families in need within their neighborhoods. Because of our large area of service, these agencies area a vital outreach to families in need. We pick up and receive truckloads of food and grocery products from national and local retail donors. In addition, area businesses, individuals, civic groups, schools and churches conduct food drives throughout the year to provide additional food for this program. All food received by Feeding the Valley is sorted and inspected before being put on the warehouse floor for distribution. The Food Bank distributes on average of more than 500,000 pounds of food on a monthly basis.
