Mission Statement

To alleviate hunger in Central Louisiana.

Our Mission

It is with the generous support of our individual and corporate donors that the Food Bank of Central Louisiana is able to serve more than 22,400 people every month in our community.

For every dollar donated, the Food Bank of Central Louisiana can provide five meals to families in need. In 2015, we distributed over 6.9 million pounds of food to children, families, and seniors in need of emergency food assistance. Each year, the Feeding America network of food banks and food-rescue organizations distributes more than two billion pounds of food and grocery products to support feeding programs at approximately 50,000 local charitable agencies, including food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters, after-school programs and Kids Cafes.

Every dollar, every can of food, is one more step towards ending hunger in our community. The Food Bank of Central Louisiana would like to offer a heartfelt thank you to all of those whose donations make our work possible every single day. Together, we can provide hope to the hungry people here in Central Louisiana.

Sincerely,
Jayne Wright-Velez
Executive Director
