Support for Agencies During the Shutdown

As we mobilize and prepare for an extended shutdown, at Food Lifeline we want to emphasize that we are here to support your community efforts in any way we can. To that end:

– Our shelves are stocked, and our donation stream is strong. We encourage agencies to order as much food as you are able to. Right now we have capacity for a handful of agencies to make an additional pickup on the weekend.

– We are mobilizing to increase our distributions to the agency network by 20 percent, if need exists and the shutdown continues.

– We are making a special ask to our food donors to help us meet this goal of a 20% increase in food distributions.

– We are exploring a host of other options including extra dock times, additional deliveries, and mobile food distributions and will send updates to you as information becomes available.

Resources we are providing include:
