The Food Bank of Central Louisiana
Organizational Awardee

The Food Bank of Central Louisiana addresses food insecurity across 11 parishes through large-scale distributions, mobile pantries, and targeted programs for children and seniors. During the 2025 federal government shutdown which disrupted SNAP benefits, the organization expanded operations, deployed staff to rural communities, and mobilized additional financial support to provide immediate relief to thousands of households. By combining emergency response with year-round nutrition assistance, the food bank strengthens local food access and resilience for food insecure neighbors.
