No. The food is collected, stored and repackaged at the warehouse and then distributed to partner agencies that are also 501 (c) (3) organizations. These nonprofit community programs then either prepare the food and serve it or distribute bags of food to those in need. If you or someone you know needs emergency food assistance, click here or call our Hunger Lifeline at (202) 639-9770.
