Employer Introduction

Feeding America is a nationwide network of food banks and the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief charity. Together, we help provide food to more than 46 million people through 60,000 food pantries and meal programs.

In a country that wastes billions of pounds of food each year, it's almost shocking that anyone in America goes hungry. Yet every day, there are millions of children and adults who do not get the meals they need to thrive. We work to get nourishing food – from farmers, manufacturers, and retailers – to people in need. At the same time, we also seek to help the people we serve build a path to a brighter, food-secure future.

The Mid-Atlantic Regional Cooperative (MARC) acquires and distributes fresh produce to 30+ member food banks in a region stretching from Virginia to New England. The cooperative leverages the combined volumes of its member banks to realize savings in procuring and distributing fresh produce compared to the typical costs paid by individual food banks. The MARC is member-run by a Board of Directors responsible for ensuring the cooperative meets its charter and its performance targets. The MARC is a Pennsylvania-based 501(c)3 nonprofit with the goal of increasing the amount of high-quality, high-variety produce to feed Northeastern families and individuals in need.
