The difference between a food bank and a food pantry: a food bank is a non-profit clearinghouse that collects, stores, and distributes useable surplus food to non-profit organizations who then provide to their clients at no cost. A food pantry provides food and other services directly to individuals in need.
In FY2011, TCFB distributed almost 8-million pounds of food.
97% of every dollar donated goes directly to provide nutritious food to our neighbors in need.
For every dollar donated, TCFB can provide 7 meals.
