Partners

Food banks like MFN couldn’t do their work without partnerships. Partner Agencies are those who help us distribute the food to those who need it most, and Food Industry Partners are those companies who keep us afloat with their generous support. Thank you!

Partner Agencies

Mississippi Food Network is mainly just a big distribution center, and the food doesn’t get to where it needs to go without a LOT of help. That’s why we need Partner Agencies, who play such a critical role in getting the food to hungry neighbors throughout much of the state. If it weren’t for these Partners, the food wouldn’t get distributed.

MFN’s Agency Relations department provides information, resources, training, and monitoring support for member agencies. Partner Agencies select products from MFN’s distribution center inventory on a regular basis. Agencies do not purchase food received from MFN, but pay a shared maintenance fee of 19 cents per pound of product ordered to partially offset the cost to solicit, transport, distribution center and distribute the food to those who need it most.

If you are currently a Partner Agency, or you’re interested in becoming one, visit our agency downloads and resources page. If you have any questions, please use our contact form, call 601.973.7085 or email [email protected].

Food Industry Partners

Mississippi Food Network couldn’t fulfill its mission without the generous support of many companies who give through food donations and food drives, financial donations, events, sponsorships, and volunteers.
