Our Mission:

The primary purpose of the Fairbanks Community Food Bank Service, Inc. is to provide food for hungry people and to distribute surplus food that would ordinarily be discarded.  All locally collected food is to be distributed without charge.

Implementation:

The Food Bank may provide emergency food to individuals and families in critical need, usually a three or four day supply.  In case of disasters of magnitude the Food Bank will offer every assistance possible.

The Food Bank may serve as a clearing house for edible yet unmarketable food and distribute it to organizations.

The Food Bank may assist other organizations in their efforts to teach sharing, volunteerism, recycling, wise storage, good nutrition, balanced diets, simple recipes, as well as the devastating results of hunger.

The Food Bank, upon recommendation of its Board, may establish any other programs which amplify the primary purpose as set out above.
