Distributing Food Where It’s Needed Most With the help of farmers, wholesalers, restaurants, community members, and others, we source the food for over 45 million meals each year. And thanks to our hundreds of partners in the community, we’re able to get that food to the individuals and families who need it most. NONPROFIT DISTRIBUTION PARTNERS DIRECT DISTRIBUTION PROGRAMS 450+ Food Assistance Partners Creating Hunger Solutions for Tomorrow. While food is essential, we know it takes more than food to solve hunger. Employment, health, housing, and other issues can all contribute to the conditions that cause food insecurity. If we’re going to solve hunger, we have to address its root causes. Which is why we’ve developed programs and partnerships designed to help people meet their food needs today while also getting access to services that can help them build paths out of food insecurity tomorrow.
