Food Rescue
Food rescue is an important part of our organization. The US wastes around 40% of its total food production throughout the food production industry and consumption.
As Milford Food Bank has grown we have realized the enormous opportunity to partners with other food banks and all parts of the food industry to help rescue food that would otherwise be wasted. Excess, damaged or short-dated (approaching a best by date) food can be rescued and in turn distributed to our local partners.
Milford Food Bank is increasing our local business and warehousing partners to rescue more food that can be enjoyed in our communities.
Community Partnerships and Distribution
We are open on Monday and Friday mornings for distribution to our partners throughout Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan. We partner with food pantries, community kitchens, residence homes, backpack programs and other community food distribution organizations to distribute food collected from across the Midwest and throughout the US. We currently serve over 180 of these organizations.
Food Sources
Food is donated to Milford Food Bank from all over the Midwest and the nation. We are so thankful for all the generous partners we have that are willing to work with us to provide food to the communities we are in like:
