During FY19, the Great Plains Food Bank provided 11.9 million meals to 96,816 hungry individuals, with 36 percent of those being children and 11 percent seniors.Our core business, and foundation of our day-to-day work, is to recover surplus shelf-stable and perishable food that was at one point going to waste, and get it into the hands of hungry children, seniors and working parents.The Great Plains Food Bank relies on four key partners to carry out our mission. Our 200+ food industry partners donate their surplus product that would otherwise go to waste. Our volunteer force, 5,000+ strong shares their time helping us pack and prepare this food for statewide distribution. Our partner network of over 200 food pantries, shelters and soup kitchens help us distribute this food in 130 communities across our service area. And our financial supporters ensure our programs have the resources needed to remain strong. Because of these partners, the Great Plains Food Bank can distribute food for more than three meals to people living with hunger for every dollar donated to our food distribution programs.
