Wellness Markets: Located inside local healthcare and community-based settings, these markets provide fresh, healthy food through choice-style shopping, tailored nutrition from medical staff and home delivery to directly address health disparities and chronic conditions.
Food is Medicine: Integrates nutrition with long-term support through food insecurity screenings, grocery assistance, benefits enrollment, case management and community resource connections — easing the burden of hunger and helping neighbors thrive.
Capacity-Building: Through infrastructure support, training, resources and shared innovation, All Faiths Food Bank helps build the capacity of local food pantries, community organizations and agency partners to better reach families in need.

Nutrition: By integrating nutrition across all programs, we ensure children and families receive wholesome, nourishing meals through BackPack and Summer Hunger programs — while our partner pantries offer choice-based environments that promote healthy selections.
Nutrition Education & Outreach: Through engaging classes and hands-on learning, we empower children and adults to make nutritious choices that support long-term wellness — helping families build lasting healthy habits.

BackPack program: Provides bags of kid-friendly, healthy food for students to take home to eat over the weekends and during holidays.
