What is a food bank and what does it do?

A food bank is a non-profit organization that collects, stores, and distributes food to people in need, often through community-based agencies such as food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters. Food banks receive donations from individuals, retailers, and food manufacturers, and work to reduce food insecurity in their local communities. Their goal is to ensure that everyone has access to enough nutritious food, especially during times of crisis or hardship.
