About this facility

Mission

The Florida Association of Food Banks (FAFB) is a 501(c)( 3) charitable organization committed to ending hunger. We coordinate the efforts of 16 member food banks throughout the state of Florida, enabling them to better provide a healthy and adequate food supply for people in need. Among the services we provide to our members are: Enhanced statewide communication
Food acquisition
Public policy analysis
Public awareness about hunger issues and the role of food banks
Solicitation and distribution of funds The FAFB's member food banks serve a network of 3,000+ faith-based and nonprofit agencies in all 67counties in the state of Florida. Through the generosity of food manufacturers, the Florida agricultural community, wholesalers, retailers, federal commodity programs, and local communities, our member Food Banks distribute more than 72 million pounds of food each year to feed those in need. The Florida Association of Food Banks represents the only regulated and monitored network of food banks that covers all 67 Florida counties. FAFB is affiliated with Feeding America the nation's leading hunger-relief organization. Each FAFB member food bank must meet stringent guidelines to be associated with Feeding America (formerly America's Second Harvest, the Nation's Food Bank Network). This contracted relationship assures both financial and operational excellence. It also provides accountability through network training, site monitoring and the maintenance of substantial records verifying conformity to established Federal and State safe food handling standards. FAFB members are private, non-governmental organizations with consistently high ratings from Charity Navigator
