About
The purpose of the feeding the hungry program is to provide one of life's most basic essentials - food.

The Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank serves as a clearinghouse to procure, process, and distribute food in mass quantities to our 110 partner agencies in an 11-parish area, which include pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and mobile pantries that feed the most in need in our community.
