Network food banks will never charge a fee to anyone for groceries

November 18, 2025

Feeding America network food banks, food pantries and food programs will never charge a fee to anyone who needs assistance with putting food on their tables. Feeding America is not associated with any social media post purporting to have discounted Feeding America food boxes available for purchase. We are reporting the fraudulent posts to social media platforms as we see them and strongly recommend that you do not engage with these posts. 

If you need to access food, please visit feedingamerica.org/needhelp to find a food bank in your area where free groceries are available. 

If you have fallen victim to a fraudulent post, please contact your local authorities to report the activity or call the AARP Fraud Watch Network at 1-877-908-3360 to receive free guidance.
