From waste to resource

Each year, about 20 percent of America's food supply - 140 million tons of food valued at more than $31 billion -- goes to waste. Food suppliers often wish to donate food, but the quanity or timing is beyond the capacity or need of any single organization.

As a clearinghouse for donated food, the Food Bank of Siouxland forms a partnership with the food industry by collecting, inspecting, sorting,and distributing food to member agencies, which provide food directly to those in need.

 

a few words about us

The Food Bank of Siouxland, Inc., a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, was founded in 1991 to serve community charities in Sioux City with feeding programs to nourish the needy, the ill and children.
