HHFB staff and vehicles collect product daily from food service operations in the region, including retail grocery stores, wholesalers, and manufacturers, as well as from individuals and community food drives. Most food is delivered directly to non-profit agencies, but some is made available at our Bloomington warehouse for pick up by our agencies. In addition to donated food, HHFB also makes direct purchases of food to supplement during periods of low donations and raises fresh foods through our garden and gleaning programs. Agencies choose the types of food they want for their programs from among the food available.
