Production capacity, organized for hunger-relief

Help food banks put their name on the products their neighbors need.

FoodBanks.us connects America's food banks with a national network of trusted co-packers, contract manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, and donating brands — so essential pantry goods get made affordably, nutritiously, and with the food bank's own label on the can.

Our Mission

Two doors. One pantry.

FoodBanks.us helps food banks get their own branded products made — from concept through case-pack — by matching the request to the right production partner.

The mission runs in two directions: we recruit partners to donate produced food and beverage product, ingredients, and packaging capacity; and we educate start-up and emerging brands on the benefits of donating product to their local food banks.

The result is hunger-relief that comes wrapped in affordability, quality, and real nutritional value — with the food bank's name on the label, and a manufacturing partner credited inside.

On the line

How It Works

From an empty shelf to a labeled case — in four steps.

Tell us what your pantry needs

A food bank submits a request: which category, how many cases, what nutrition profile, and which region the goods need to ship to.

We match a co-packer

We route the brief into our roster of contract manufacturers, commercial kitchens, pilot plants, and private labelers screened for the category.

Brands & ingredient suppliers donate in

Donating brands contribute finished product, ingredients, or unused production runs. Start-ups gain shelf credibility; food banks gain quality SKUs at relief-aligned cost.

Cases ship under the food bank's label

Production runs, gets case-packed under the food bank's own brand, and rolls out into the network of 60,000 pantries and meal programs.
