Ending hunger by advancing best practices in hunger relief.
关于我们
Food Bank News is the first and only publication to acknowledge the critical role that food banks play in the health and well-being of millions of people living in the United States. We believe that hunger can and should be eliminated, and that better flow of information, ideas and best practices between members of the hunger-relief community will help reach that goal. Our mission is to create a community where those working in the charitable food system can gain access to news, information and resources to help them achieve the goal of eliminating hunger. By promoting conversation and information exchange about best practices in the charitable food banking system via an independent, national news source, Food Bank News aims to generate more effective and lasting solutions to hunger.
