IN A BUSINESS SENSE, all food banks are distribution systems. Food banks are analogous to a grocery chain. A large grocery chain would receive food from thoughout
the nation, warehouse that food, distribute the food to individual stores,
and then sell the food to consumers. Our food bank receives food from
throughout the nation, warehouses that food, distributes the food to
charitable social agencies throughout the twelve parishes of Northeast
Louisiana, and those agencies feed the needy. The distribution system is the
core function of any true food bank.
