Disaster Response and Relief
Natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, wildfires, droughts, and earthquakes are becoming more frequent. Although they cause devastation, they also show the strength of our communities.
The Feeding America network is there before disasters strike, in the immediate aftermath, and throughout recovery, working alongside local food banks and partners to help neighbors access food, water, and essential supplies.

How we respond to disasters
When disaster strikes, the Feeding America network is there–ready to deliver food, water and essential supplies. We support our neighbors getting back on their feet after a disaster. In total, 8 million pounds of emergency food have been distributed, while 16 food banks have been impacted by disasters. We collaborate with 66 national disaster response partners to amplify our ability to provide assistance.
Disaster Preparedness
We have emergency food stockpiles across the country, so no matter where a disaster strikes, we can rush out supplies. We also work closely with government agencies and other disaster organizations to make sure everyone gets help.
Disaster Response
After a disaster, our network springs into action. We set up mobile food pantries and team up with food companies to get even more supplies to communities. Together, we ensure no one goes hungry.
Disaster Recovery
Even when other disaster organizations leave, Feeding America stays. We provide resources and support so communities can rebuild and prevent hunger for good.
Supporting our general disaster fund allows us to assist every community put at risk for food insecurity by a disaster.
