Our Mission
Founded in 2015, Leeds Food Aid Network coordinates emergency food provision across the city through a coalition of 25+ member organizations. We bridge the gap between food surplus and community need through:
- Centralized food distribution
- Community pantry support
- Policy advocacy
- Public education
In 2024 alone, we facilitated the distribution of over 144,000 meals to Leeds residents facing food insecurity.
