Becoming a Partner with Good Shepherd Food Bank

Thank you for your interest in becoming a partner agency with Good Shepherd Food Bank. We carefully evaluate partnership inquiries and prioritize new partnerships in underserved areas of the state where food access is limited. We value partners who are committed to dignified, equitable, and sustainable food distribution practices.

Whenever possible, we encourage collaboration with existing partner agencies to strengthen and expand services already available within a community.

Temporary Pause on New Partnerships & Program Expansion

At this time, Good Shepherd Food Bank is not accepting new partnership applications or expanding programming with existing partners. New partnerships will only be considered if they are located in a high meal gap community, address an unmet need–particularly within underserved or underrepresented communities–, or introduce a unique distribution model that enhances and diversifies food access in ways not currently available within the network.

Please review the Partnership Prerequisites before submitting an inquiry to be added to the waitlist. Thank you for your understanding and dedication to ensuring strong and equitable food access across our state!
