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.
