Retail donors participating in GBFB’s “enabling program” contact us when they have a food donation with an imminent “sell-by” date. GBFB then identifies a nearby member agency and arranges for the agency to pick up the food directly and distribute it right away. By eliminating the extra step of delivering the donation to GBFB, more fresh food is reaching those struggling with hunger in local communities. In 2017, GBFB enabled 4.35 million pounds of food, nearly 25 percent more than last year, and a 160 percent increase from three years ago. More than half of the food was meat and fresh produce—the items that are often too expensive for food- insecure families.
