What does the Food Reservoir do?
The HACAP Food Reservoir Program collects food donations from corporations and individuals and distributes those in-kind resources to local shelters and food pantries. Shelters and pantries are able to order what they need to meet their outreach service demands, maximizing the redistribution of foodstuffs where they are immediately needed.
The HACAP Food Reservoir is a member of Feeding America Food Bank. We channel donated products to over 100 of our partner agencies in our seven county service area. The Food Reservoir also: • We provide over 5,000 food boxes a year to families with food needs. • Serves as a clearinghouse and food distributor for the Holiday Assistance Programs in Linn County. These programs serve approximately 2,800 families each year. • Operates the HACAP Adopt-A-Family Program. Every year more than 350 families are linked with individuals and organizations wishing to donate food and gifts to families in need.
