There are currently 75 active grants for food pantries in Grantable's free grants database, drawn from foundation sources and updated daily.
Grants for food pantries help organizations source, store, and distribute food to people facing hunger, covering everything from inventory and refrigeration to vehicles and operating costs. USDA supports pantries indirectly through The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), which provides commodities and administrative funds via state agencies. The Feeding America network and corporate funders such as the Walmart Foundation provide grants for capacity, equipment, and food rescue.

Food pantries can pursue grants for food purchasing, cold storage and refrigeration, vehicles, technology, and general operating support. Federal commodities and administrative funds reach pantries through The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) via state agencies, while the Feeding America network and corporate and community foundations offer capacity and equipment grants. Many pantries combine several sources to cover both food and infrastructure.
Both do, in different ways. USDA supplies food and administrative funding through TEFAP, distributed by state agencies to food banks and the pantries they serve. Feeding America, the nation's largest hunger-relief network, channels donated food and grant funding, often with corporate partners like the Walmart Foundation, to member food banks and their partner pantries. Most pantries access these resources by partnering with their regional food bank.
Yes. Equipment and infrastructure are common grant priorities, with funders supporting walk-in coolers, refrigerated trucks, produce coolers and freezers, shelving, and temperature-monitoring devices so pantries can safely handle fresh and perishable food. Walmart Foundation and Feeding America capacity grants have funded exactly this kind of cold-storage and food-rescue equipment, and USDA programs have funded expanded freezing and cooling capacity. Tying the equipment request to increased fresh-food distribution strengthens applications.
