Pantry Program 
Partner agencies withdraw food from the food bank and use it to stock their food pantries.  The food bank is a resource for churches and other non-profit organizations. They come to the food bank to pick up food and take it back to their individual pantries, where it can be distributed to the needy. 

Food for Life Program
Food Boxes are provided to the elderly and disabled on a monthly basis.  Volunteers pack boxes of food for income-eligible seniors age 55 and older, and the disabled.  

USDA Commodities Program 
The food bank is the regional distributor of USDA surplus commodities available to income-eligible individuals in Planning District 16 through approved USDA pantry operations.

Club Kids Program
After-school feeding programs that provide snacks to income-eligible children. The feeding programs run in conjunction with mentoring, homework, recreation programs existing in schools and other non-profit agencies.
