Treasure Coast Food Bank

What Treasure Coast Food Bank does

Treasure Coast Food Bank is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit hunger-relief organization founded in 1988 and headquartered in Fort Pierce, Florida. It is the only food bank serving Indian River, Martin, St. Lucie, and Okeechobee counties, distributing food through more than 300 partner agencies and a portfolio of direct-service programs that together reach approximately 250,000 individuals each week and move more than one million pounds of product weekly. The organization operates a 35,000 square foot main distribution center with a state-of-the-art production kitchen, supplemented by county offices (Whole Child Connection in Stuart; Your Plate Health & Wellness Center in Fort Pierce) and a forthcoming 132,000 square foot operations center funded through the $30 million Feed Unite Flourish capital campaign.

The program portfolio spans four pillars: (1) food and meal access — Curbside Pickup via the OrderAhead platform, Home Delivery, Mobile Distributions, Market Fresh on the Move mobile grocery, Summer Meals, Food Finder locator, FRESHCareRx medically tailored meals, Happy Baby Diaper Bank, Petey's Pet Pantry, and Teen Pantry; (2) health and wellness — SNAP-Ed nutrition education, benefits enrollment for SNAP/Medicaid/TANF/FL KidCare, and Whole Child Connection case management; (3) workforce development — Culinary Training Academy, Barista & Hospitality, CDL, and Supply Chain Training programs; and (4) social enterprise — Healthy Harvest Catering. Technology infrastructure is built on third-party SaaS (DonorPerfect, SalsaLabs, Cervistech, Constant Contact) layered with TCFB-developed consumer tools (OrderAhead, Food Finder, Market Fresh scheduling).

TCFB generates revenue exclusively through philanthropic channels: individual donations (one-time and Full Plate Club monthly recurring), planned giving (IRAs, DAFs, annuities), food and fund drives, corporate sponsorships and grants (Walmart, Bank of America, Costco, Wells Fargo, CVS, Cigna, Wawa Foundation, Amazin' Mets Foundation, United Way), capital campaign gifts, event revenue (Out Run Hunger 5K), and Healthy Harvest Catering proceeds. The organization holds Platinum Transparency 2025, a 4-star Charity Navigator rating, BBB Accredited Charity status, and Feeding America and Food is Medicine Coalition memberships.
