The United States has an abundant food supply, yet many people lack access to healthy and safe food. Some people in this situation rely on food assistance programs such as food pantries. Food pantries can be a vital source of wholesome food for families and individuals.

Donations of food by local farms, food retailers and consumers to food pantries help provide food to hungry people and can reduce food waste. Although the need is great throughout the year, fall is usually the season when people donate to food pantries through food drives in anticipation of Thanksgiving.
