Kansas Food Bank

The Kansas Food Bank (KFB), which incorporated in 1983 and began operations in 1984, provides comprehensive and compassionate HungerCare whenever and wherever it is needed to safeguard the health, well-being and productivity of food-insecure Kansas families and their children, as well as senior citizens, the homeless and the chronically ill and impoverished among us. KFB serves over 400 agencies in 86 Kansas counties distributing over 4.5 million pounds of food each year. These counties cover more than 73,000 square miles in Kansas. KFB works with other America's Second Harvest agencies to share large quantities of food that any one food bank could not distribute alone. The Kansas Food Bank has become the heart and soul of the war against hunger in Kansas. KFB distributed over 4.9 million pounds of food through our network of hunger-relief agencies throughout our 73,000 square mile service area. These agencies are church pantries, community pantries, on-site feeding programs, spouse abuse centers, drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers and children's homes. KFB works with other America's Second Harvest agencies to share large quantities of food that any one food bank could not distribute alone. KFB is also the major source of food for disaster relief, supplying food to both the Salvation Army and America Red Cross.
