The NTFB would like to acknowledge that while every effort is made to adhere to posted distribution times, some sites are subject to change due to product availability and/or weather. Also, for our client choice/walk up distributions, we encourage neighbors to bring their own reusable bags or cart to make transporting product home easier.

Food Assistance and SNAP FAQs

A food bank is a non-profit that safely stores millions of pounds of food that will soon be delivered to local food programs, like a food pantry. The food stored by food banks is donated from local neighbors, retailers, grocery stores, and restaurants.

A food pantry is a distribution center where hungry families can receive food. Supplied with food from a food bank, pantries feed hundreds of people per week! Because every community is different, there are many different types of pantries.
