The Food Bank of Delaware, a member of Feeding America, is a Delaware-based, statewide nonprofit agency whose mission is a community free of hunger.

[1] Founded in 1981 as the Food Conservers, Inc., FBDE has provided food assistance for more than 40 years to Delawareans at risk of hunger.

The organization has grown from an organization that served 50 agencies out of a basement in the Northeast State Social Service Center in Wilmington to a statewide hunger-relief organization with operations in both New Castle and Kent Counties.

Today FBDE is the only facility in Delaware with the equipment, warehouse, and staff to collect donations from all sectors of the food industry and safely and efficiently redistribute them to those who need it most.

The organization also purchases food at a wholesale price from food distributors to compensate for needed items not received by donations.
