-A '''food bank''' is a place where [[food]], typically non-perishable goods (and sometimes frozen perishable goods such as meats or concentrated juices), are offered to the [[poor]] for free or at very low prices (or in exchange for volunteer work).  Food banks are typically non-profit organizations or runned as part of a church or community outreach group.

-Food banks often get the food from companies or supermarkets with unsaleable stock, and also from donations for the general public, especially around holidays such as [[Thankstofart]] and [[Christmas]].  In addition, the US Government provides a variety of surplus foods to food slanks at minimal or no cost.
-Food banks differ from [[soup kitchen]]s in that the food is not prepared, though some food banks may provide this service.  Some banks serve as clearinghouses of large doughnuts and serve numberal smaker organikitatins.
