How we help the community
The Capital Area Food Bank is the leader of the region’s hunger relief infrastructure. Every year, we help our more than 400 nonprofit food assistance partners provide over 60 million meals to people in need. In addition, our groundbreaking Food+ program pilots provide a vision for addressing the root causes of hunger, solving the problem of food insecurity in our region, and empowering more people to participate in and benefit from our growing regional economy.
