Once again, the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana’s sound fiscal management practices, financial health, accountability and transparency have earned the highest rating from two leading charity evaluators—Guide Star and Charity Navigator.  In recent publicized reports, the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana earned the highest 4 Star Rating from Charity Navigator, America’s largest independent charity evaluator.  Only 16 rated charities in the state of Louisiana received the 4 Star Rating.  The Food Bank is the only non-profit organization in Northwest Louisiana to achieve this award. This is the fourth year in a row that the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana has earned this top four star distinction. 
 
Similarly, the Food Bank earned the highest rating of Platinum Level from Guide Star, world's largest source of information on nonprofit organizations.  The Food Bank is one of only nine organizations in the State to have the rating of Platinum level.
 
“It’s important our donors trust that we are using our funding wisely to accomplish the over-whelming task of trying to stabilize the lives of those facing hunger issues in northwest Louisiana,” said Martha Marak, Executive Director. “Our 4-star Charity Navigator rating demonstrates to our supporters that we take our fiduciary responsibilities very seriously.”
