Who We Serve

Feeding the Gulf Coast, formerly Bay Area Food Bank, operates three branches located along the central Gulf Coast with facilities in Gulfport, MS; Theodore, AL; and Milton, FL.

Together these facilities in partnership with over 400 agencies distribute more than 30 million pounds of food annually to the 24-county service area through the food bank’s hunger-relief programs.

Flow of Food

Food Bank Flow

Donated: We acquire food from various national donors, USDA, local retail partners, farmers, and community food drives.

Inspected: Food is inspected for safety, sorted, and packed into boxes ready to be distributed to members of our network.

Transported: Once our volunteers have thoroughly inspected items, food gets transported to member agencies and other food bank partners for their distributions.

Distributed: Our partners serve as our hands and feet by directly distributing the food to those in need within their local community.
