2026 initiatives
Margie’s Market
Opening in March 2026, this choice market — designed with community input — will provide a dignified shopping experience, benefits assistance, case management and additional resources in the heart of Newtown to reduce transportation barriers and create a culturally responsive hub for neighbors.
DeSoto Food and Resource Center Expansion
All Faiths Food Bank’s DeSoto Food & Resource Center is a one-stop shop for rural neighbors — combining fresh food access with on-site benefits navigation and wraparound services. As the need has increased, the facility has outgrown its current space and must expand to continue meeting the rising demand.
Wellness Markets
Located inside local healthcare and community-based settings, these markets provide fresh, healthy food through choice-style shopping, tailored nutrition from medical staff and home delivery to directly address health disparities and chronic conditions.
Food is Medicine
Integrates nutrition with long-term support through food insecurity screenings, grocery assistance, benefits enrollment, case management and community resource connections — easing the burden of hunger and helping neighbors thrive.
Capacity-Building
Through infrastructure support, training, resources and shared innovation, All Faiths Food Bank helps build the capacity of local food pantries, community organizations and agency partners to better reach families in need.
Food Sourcing
When donated and government food supplies fall short, All Faiths steps in to purchase nutritious food to keep our communities fed — ensuring no neighbor goes hungry — even as food donations and government funding support decline while community need grows.
Nutrition
By integrating nutrition across all programs, we ensure children and families receive wholesome, nourishing meals through BackPack and Summer Hunger programs — while our partner pantries offer choice-based environments that promote healthy selections.
Nutrition Education & Outreach
Through engaging classes and hands-on learning, we empower children and adults to make nutritious choices that support long-term wellness — helping families build lasting healthy habits.
