Hunger-relief partners connect the Food Bank of Delaware to the hungry people in our
community.
Shoppers’ Choice Hours and Hunger-Relief Partners Pickup Hours: Authorized representatives from member agencies come to the Food Bank to shop for individual items including personal health and hygiene products, detergents and miscellaneous items. A Shopper’s Choice fee of 22 cents per pound is charged to help offset costs. Partners may also send a representative to volunteer at the Food Bank and receive a credit of five pounds of food per volunteer hour.
