Now that we’ve come through the worst of COVID we are so excited to see each other all again! Foodlink is the regional food bank serving over 170,000 food-insecure people across the Rochester region. The pandemic not only disrupted our ability to gather with our friends, but it increased the need for food assistance by 25%. Foodlink was there for people who were often seeking help for the very first time. Please consider a donation to the organization begun by my old friend Tom Ferraro who was the founder of Foodlink. He sadly passed away in 2014, but the organization he started is helping more people today than ever. Every dollar you donate provides up to 3 meals to folks in need.
Foodlink is a Rochester-based nonprofit dedicated to ending hunger and building healthier communities by addressing both the symptoms and root causes of food insecurity. We serve as the hub of the emergency food system across a 10-county service area. As a leading public health organization, Foodlink administers many programs and initiatives that aim to build the health and wealth of communities.
We provide food assistance through the safe storage and distribution of emergency food to our network of food bank members and community partners. We build healthier communities through innovative programs that create new access points to nutritious foods and empower people to make healthy choices. We drive change through bold career empowerment initiatives and advocacy for a more just, equitable food system.
