Does Foodshare sell food?
Foodshare does not, and in fact cannot, sell the food which is donated to us to feeding hungry people. Moreover, the local food pantries and community kitchens cannot charge the final recipients, hungry people, for this food. Foodshare does ask the agencies that receive food to cooperate in the support of the food bank by contributing a very small shared maintenance fee for each pound of food they take. Agencies that find themselves in difficult financial circumstances can apply to have these fees waived.
