Food Link

Paula Garza Gonzalez

Food Link is the bridge between retailers, distributors, and farms that have surplus food and community organizations seeking nutritious food for people in need.

Over 300 volunteers work alongside our staff to rescue food and bring it to partner organizations in the area.

Recovered food has to be effectively and rapidly linked with the people who can use it.

Food Link strives to provide fresh nutritious food to 108 recipient agencies that serve people experiencing food insecurity. Programs distributing our food include food pantries, schools, afterschool programs, senior centers, low-income housing facilities, communities of worship, veterans centers, and programs for refugees, among others. We work with each community partner to provide customized deliveries in a manner that respects cultural and dietary preferences.
