| About Food Bank of the Southern Tier |
The Food Bank’s network of over 175 hunger relief agencies includes food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, residential programs, day care programs, senior feeding programs and other not-for-profit organizations located throughout our six county service area in Broome, Chemung, Schuyler, Steuben, Tioga, and Tompkins.
Funded primarily by the community, the Food Bank is a smart investment with healthy returns. For every dollar spent, over 92 cents (including the value of all donated food) goes directly to services to the community to help people in need. 87% of food pantries, 77% of community kitchens, and 75% of shelters surveyed nationally in 2001 reported that the elimination of their local food bank would have either a significant or devastating impact on their program.
