Yes, it is. NTFB is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Our Federal Tax ID number is 75-1785357. All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
You can find your local Partner Agency by searching the map on our Find a Food Pantry page.
When a nonprofit organization joins the NTFB as a Partner Agency, they become our partner in hunger relief and getting both donated and purchased foods to the families and individuals who need them. Prior to COVID-19, Partner Agencies shared in the cost of handling this food by contributing a per-pound handling fee with the exception of perishable items such as fresh vegetables. Due to the increased demand for our Feeding Network, NTFB has waived all handling fees to ensure our partners can meet the need in the months ahead.
NTFB is grateful for the support given by individuals, corporations, foundations and educational, civic and faith partners. Support comes by way of donating one’s voice, time, food, and funds. This is your community’s food bank!
