Partner Advisory Council
As the voice of our network’s 700+ partner programs, the Food Bank’s Advisory Council is made up of representatives from leading free food markets, pantries, meal sites and delivery programs throughout the region. These leaders draw on their on-the-ground expertise to guide community-centered decisions around everything we do — from the food we source to the policy change we seek to address hunger’s root causes.
We're excited to announce the 2026 Partner Advisory Council cohort soon!
Neighbor Advisory Council
People who have faced hunger are the experts, both on what drives food insecurity and the most effective solutions. We work to ensure neighbor input and feedback is reflected in every aspect of our operations. And the Neighbor Advisory Council will add a new layer of depth to existing Food Bank surveys and focus groups that capture feedback at scale.
Our interest form for the Advisory Council’s inaugural cohort will open soon. Stay tuned for additional information.
Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors provides governance and guidance to ensure the Food Bank delivers on its mission with integrity and accountability.
