How can someone create a food bank?

istefopoulou — 2015-11-13 17:52:53 UTC

Find a place to store the food.The amount of donations you get may vary throughout the year, so find a place large enough to accommodate the intake. If you are an individual operation, you may be able to start by storing things in your basement or garage. Contact organizations in your area that can help bring in food donations and can recommend people in need.Working with churches, schools, and local government agencies is a great place to start.
Set up a schedule for when people or agencies will receive food from you. Some food banks may only give donations every 2 weeks.
Collect donations.You may do this by holding food drives through schools and churches or by setting up a drop-off site outside the local grocery store or other business. Grocers may also be willing to donate items that are reaching the expiration dates.

Process items as they come in.

Have shelving set up in your bank areato separate the items according to product type (cans, boxes, breakfast items,fresh food, dried goods etc). Double check expiration dates and throw out any that are past the freshness date or foods that look suspicious.
