Double your donation 

Your support is needed now more than ever. Give today and it will go twice as far for our neighbors facing hunger this summer.

COVID-19 is causing economic fallout across the United States and the state. With so many out of work due to closures, food insecurity is increasing exponentially, even for individuals in Northwest Louisiana whom have never needed our help before.  We’ve almost doubled the number of clients we serve at Mobile Pantries, have seen a 35% increase in the amount of food we are distributing, and are distributing an average of 1,000 meals weekly for children that are out of school.
Please donate today!

Double the amount of your donation today! Donate here.

Now, thanks to a $75,000 matching grant made possible by an anonymous friend of the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana, donations up to $1,000.00 made using the this link will be doubled.  Please donate today, this giving opportunity ends August 31, 2020.

Donate today to the Letter Carriers' Donor Drive

For the last 27 years, the National Association of Letter Carriers has been proud to hold the Stamp Out Hunger food drive, the nation’s largest one day food drive, on the second Saturday in May. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we weren’t able to collect food in May.  However, the 28th annual Stamp out hunger food drive will be rescheduled when it is safe to do so.
In the meantime, the need for food assistance is more urgent than ever and we want to give everyone the opportunity to continue to help meet that need.
DONATE TODAY 
The recent pandemic prevented the annual Letter Carrier's Food Drive.  The drive has been rescheduled as a online food drive.
​Please consider your donation today.   Here is how to donation: 
1. Go to the Donate tab or click here
​2. Pull down the Letter Carrier's Food Drive  
4. Make a contribution

It’s that easy.  All donations stay in Northwest Louisiana.

COVID-19 INFORMATION
​How you can help

​As with every potential threat to Northwest Louisiana, from flooding to the everyday disaster of hunger, the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana staff and volunteers are preparing to respond to the impact of COVID-19 in our communities. Beyond the potential health impacts, school children and seniors will lose access to meals.  Additionally, those who work in the service industry and other hourly jobs stand to lose significant income.
Here are some ways you can help the Food Bank and the Communities we serve:

• Monetary donations: Even if the health impacts of this outbreak are minimal, we are anticipating possibly major impacts to seniors, children, and low-income workers in our service industry. Click HERE to make a secure online monetary donation to help support our emergency response and readiness.  Every $10 donated provides $100 in food.
•  Volunteer: We are not accepting volunteers at this time.  Please check back with us.  
• Food: We welcome donation of fresh produce and non-perishable food items Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at our facility at 2307 Texas Avenue, Shreveport.  CLICK HERE for our list of most needed foods. 
•  Cleaning/sanitation supplies: We are also asking for donations of cleaning supplies, soap, and hand sanitizer.
