When asked about his role as a truck driver at Foodlink, Jimmy responded, “I don't even consider it a job — it comes from the heart. It's a good thing to do and you just feel good about every part of it.” Every day, Jimmy works behind the scenes to make sure our partners have food so families tables are always set and full.

Leveraging the power of food to end hunger and build healthier communities.
About us
Foodlink is a Feeding America food bank serving Allegany, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Wayne, Wyoming, and Yates counties. For more than 40 years, we have leveraged the power of food to transform lives, end hunger and build healthier communities. Through good stewardship, innovation and collaboration, Foodlink mobilizes a diverse network of partners and stakeholders to eradicate both the symptoms and root causes of hunger. Our suite of food access programs provides new access points to nutritious and affordable food in underserved communities. Our team of nutrition educators empowers people at risk of diet-related illness with the skills and knowledge to make healthy choices. Our food banking operations distribute millions of pounds of food to a network of hundreds of member agencies throughout our service area. The Foodlink Community Kitchen prepares and delivers thousands of meals daily for Rochester children, supports our regional agricultural economy by slicing locally grown apples, and hosts a one-of-a-kind career empowerment program to train individuals with barriers to employment for careers in the regional food industry. At Foodlink, we envision a future in which food is recognized as a human right, and every person is able to feed themselves and their families in dignity.

BREAKING NEWS 🚨 Thank you to the Lindsay House for their matching gift this #GivingTuesday! Help us reach that total by visiting https://lnkd.in/g-csADdT Since 2003, the physicians at the Lindsay House have committed to supporting children overseas with much-needed, free surgery. Since 2019, they’ve partnered with Foodlink to give back right here in our community by ensuring children and families across the region receive the nourishment they need. Realizing both the high levels of local food insecurity and Foodlink’s critical role in feeding our community, the Lindsay House has graciously offered a $10,000 matching gift this year through the month of December! This generous challenge match will double the impact of your gift today. Join us as we work to provide wholesome food for families, prepare thousands of meals for Rochester students, and deliver programs that address the root causes of hunger.

Elisha is keeping our communities' tables full by working with partners to expand food resources in rural communities. Donate today to support this critical work! https://lnkd.in/gBvSvYFA One day while at a Pop-Up Pantry in Wayne County she had a memorable experience. “I met a woman who told me the Pop-up Pantry she visited had been life-changing. She said, “This is how I can keep my lights on...I wouldn’t be able to have those things if this food wasn’t here.” Those words, plus the fact that she always brings a little envelope with $5 to donate, have always stuck with me ... Despite having so little herself, she still felt compelled to give back, showing her true generosity.” #settingthetable #givingtuesday #foodlink #donate #popuppantry
