Foxwood Food Center is our grocery-store-style food pantry that champions a guest-choice model of food assistance, prioritizing the dignity of those who visit. Anyone is welcome at Foxwood, and they can receive food every 30 days.

After checking in, guests receive a box of pantry staples and non-perishables, then a volunteer guides them through aisles of bread, produce, dairy, meat, and other groceries. Guests leave with a shopping cart full of the foods they love.

We organize distributions at schools, community centers, senior centers, and places of worship to deliver groceries directly to communities facing hunger.

Mobile pantries can be lifelines for our rural communities where access to healthy food may be scarce and driving to a grocery store may be difficult.

We supply food to a wide network of food pantries, senior centers, community programs, urban and community gardens, and children’s programs. Our partners are spread across the 20 counties in our service area, providing much-needed resources to their communities.

By partnering with the Chattanooga Area Food Bank, ordering, delivering, and distributing nutritious food is effective and efficient.

Every child needs access to healthy, nourishing food to thrive. Our Sack Packs and Summer Bags ensure children facing food insecurity have enough to eat across their weekends and summer break.

We work with schools, local organizations, and community centers to distribute bundles of child-friendly foods like pop-top meals, cereals, granola bars, juice, and fruit. We also establish and supply in-school pantries that are open to the whole family.

Our senior programs ensure older adults have reliable access to healthy groceries. Programs offered throughout our network include: home delivery for seniors facing mobility or transportation challenges, mobile pantries that provide fresh produce and other groceries, and community meals at local organizations.

Together with caregivers and community partners, we help seniors stay connected, independent, and nourished. 

In our on-site garden, we grow fresh produce for our Foxwood Food Center, start seedlings for local community gardens, and host hands-on workshops.

Through these connections with the land, children and families gain a deeper understanding of the local food system and the food bank's role as both provider and distributor. 

In times of disaster, many people lose access to food, often with no time to prepare. The Chattanooga Area Food Bank sources and directs additional resources to those affected by storms, floods, fires, and other emergency situations.

We collaborate with first responders, fellow Feeding America network food banks, community organizations, and hunger relief partners to provide food, water, and other essentials to those who are impacted.
