The Mission of Mid-South Food Bank is to Change Lives by Eliminating Hunger in the Mid-South.

 

The Mid-South Food Bank (the “Food Bank”) is a leading social service organization supported by a vast network of volunteers, passionate public and private advocates and devoted financial sponsors.  Since 1981, the Food Bank has worked to deliver food for today and hope for tomorrow. The Food Bank provides food for hungry people while striving to eliminate hunger in the Mid-South.

 

The Food Bank is part of a united community effort working to bring food, dignity and hope to our neighbors in our 31-county service area, including 12 counties in West Tennessee, 18 counties in North Mississippi, and Crittenden County, Arkansas. The organization distributes food, both donated and purchased, through a network of 300 pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and other programs. These programs provide food where it’s most needed. The Food Bank also works to lift collective voices by educating, engaging, and advocating for neighbors struggling with hunger – at the community, state, and Federal levels.

 

As the face of hunger in the community has changed, the Food Bank has evolved. The organization’s programs address the specific needs of children, families, and seniors. According to Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap, the national food-insecurity rate is 13.5%; our Food Bank’s tri-state service are ranks the highest in the nation at 17.29%. COVID presented new challenges for the Food Bank as the increase for food increase to 202% over 2019. Since 2019, the need for food in our service area is 111% greater than it was pre-COVID and in 2024 the Food Bank distributed over 38.7 million pounds of food, equivalent to 32.2 million meals. Only by working together with our partners, and many volunteers, we help those most in need go from hungry to hopeful.
