Our network of member agencies is a coalition of organizations that help distribute food throughout Puerto Rico. These member agencies have an established partnership with Banco de Alimentos Puerto Rico, Inc. (Banco de Alimentos de Puerto Rico, Inc.) and regularly provide food to food-insecure residents.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does it mean to be a Banco de Alimentos member agency? A member agency is a non-profit organization that provides food assistance in the form of free meals, snacks, or food to local residents on an ongoing basis. If you are interested in having us support your existing food program, please contact us. <\/span>To regularly distribute food to our neighbors in need, you're in the right place!<\/span><\/p>\n

Organizations can submit an eligibility application. Our onboarding period is from April 1st to June 1st.\u00a0Applications are processed annually during our membership period, between April 1 and June 1.<\/b>\u00a0During this period, you must complete the first step: the Membership Assessment Form (link below).
