America's top 100 charities. Feeding America is ranked number one.
 

Last year, Feeding America provided nearly 6 billion meals across a vast network of hundreds of food banks and tens of thousands of local organizations across the country!

According to Forbes, that makes Feeding America the #1 largest charity in the United States. With so many of our neighbors facing hunger, this ranking shows the urgency of the movement to end hunger as we work towards a future where everyone across the country has enough to eat.

We know that your donations are a sign of your commitment to your neighbors AND a show of trust in us. We take that trust seriously.

At a time when the cost of basic needs like groceries and healthcare is out of reach for millions, we must help our neighbors facing hunger. Support from people like you helps us:

  • Rescue perfectly good food that would go uneaten
  • Prepare and package that food for safe transportation
  • Distribute that food across a network of over 250 food banks, 20 statewide food bank associations, 10 regional co-ops and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs
  • Be there before, during and after disasters to help get food and supplies to impacted communities
  • Reach people facing hunger in every single county across the country

Serving nearly 6 billion meals a year is a big job, but the Feeding America network is assembling food bank employees, volunteers and donors to build a system that feeds millions.

It takes thousands of caring neighbors in every corner of this country working together to end hunger. Thank you for joining us!

Sincerely,
