The Food Bank of Delaware is a statewide nonprofit organization that operates within the non-profit sector, aligned with Feeding America and its network of food banks. Based in Newark, Delaware, it exists to alleviate hunger by distributing low- and no-cost food to qualified feeding programs across the greater Delaware region and by developing statewide feeding initiatives for low-income families, individuals, and children. The organization also focuses on raising community awareness about hunger and food security, mobilizing support for anti-hunger efforts, and providing training to empower under- and unemployed individuals to work within the food service industry. Founded in 1981 (originally as the Food Conservers, Inc.), the Food Bank of Delaware has a multi-faceted mission that includes information dissemination, program development, and direct food assistance to those at risk of hunger. Recent activity includes partnerships and community events in the region, highlighting ongoing engagement with local organizations and the public to support hunger relief efforts.
