The Foodbank of Southern California

Industry Food Donors

We are pleased to accept highly nutritious food products from manufacturers, wholesalers, retailer, distributors, restaurants, farmers or other food industry businesses.

The Foodbank of Southern California depends on donations from the food industry to help feed hungry people in Los Angeles County. Our network of Nonprofit Agency Partners that conduct hunger-relief and feeding programs throughout the county come to The Foodbank to pick up products to provide food and meals to those in need.

The Foodbank has a 40,000+ square foot warehouse facility that includes both a 29,248 cubic foot walk-in freezer and a 7,312 cubic foot walk-in cooler. We have ample parking space, and portable loading docks. The Foodbank’s staff, fleet of trucks, forklifts and other equipment can safely collect donations from the food industry and redistribute them to community members in need of highly nutritional food. Every donation is weighed and inspected for integrity prior to distribution. All food donations are handled in compliance with food safety handling procedures. Your donation will be distributed to feeding programs run by The Foodbank’s Nonprofit Agency Partners in Los Angeles County.
