Becoming a Partner with Good Shepherd Food Bank

Thank you for your interest in partnering with Good Shepherd Food Bank. We carefully review partnership inquiries from eligible organizations serving communities with limited food access—especially those in communities that are underserved or underrepresented.

We also prioritize organizations offering innovative distribution models, such as delivery-based services, mobile distributions, or other approaches that expand access beyond existing options and work to meet neighbors where they are.

We seek out partners committed to equitable, dignified, and sustainable practices that center people, build pathways to stability, and honor the dignity, voice, and belonging of all.

Whenever possible, we encourage collaboration with current partners to strengthen and expand services within a community. To explore existing partners in your area, please visit our Food Map.
