Solving Hunger Today is our foundational strategy to nourish our neighbors in need - getting food to over 100 community partners who, in turn, distribute that food to our food insecure neighbors.
Community non-profits or church groups who distribute free food to neighbors or prepare meals and snacks to nourish our food insecure neighbors. Since 1985, these Partner Agencies have nourished 2/3 of the people served through BVFB's network, distributing over 2/3 of all food passing through BVFB's warehouse.
BVFB started programs in 2005 to better serve vulnerable populations who might be falling through the cracks, such as children, seniors, rural neighbors, neighbors with chronic health conditions, and neighbors with access barriers.
