Partner Agencies
Find food distribution sites closest to you
The Food Bank of Central Louisiana distributes food and grocery products to food-insecure families through a network of partner agencies in eleven parishes:
Allen, Avoyelles, Catahoula, Concordia, Grant, LaSalle, Natchitoches, Rapides, Sabine, Vernon and Winn.
Helping Those in Need
Last year, 75 partner agencies distributed nearly 3 million pounds of food and groceries. With the money these partner agencies save by getting food and other groceries at the Food Bank, they are able to expand the programs and services they provide to their clients.
Apply for SNAP
Stretch your monthly food budget
SNAP is short for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
It’s a federal program that helps eligible households save money and stretch their budget with monthly paid benefits to purchase groceries.
Your benefits can be used at a wide range of participating locations across Louisiana like grocery stores, pharmacies, convenience stores, gas stations, and some farmer’s markets.
