Relief Fleet Program (Feeding America)

The Feeding America network invests millions of dollars into interstate transportation each year. The cost of transportation often prohibits food banks from being able to accept a food donation.

Relief Fleet works to lower transportation costs by soliciting free or deeply-discounted freight for donated loads for all network members. Through Relief Fleet, transportation companies contact the Feeding America national office and offer empty trailer space that could be used to transport donations. Donation pick-up and delivery are then matched with travel routes and proximity to a local network food bank that can accommodate the donation.
