New Food Bank Locations Added in November 2025

Expanding Access to Food Assistance

We're excited to announce that FoodBankFinder.Net continues to grow, with numerous new food bank locations added to our database throughout November 2025. Our mission is to ensure that everyone in Appalachia and beyond can easily find food assistance when they need it. This month's additions bring our total to over 500 verified food bank locations across the region.

What's New This Month

November has been a productive month for expanding our database. We've added food banks across multiple states, with a particular focus on rural communities that have been underserved. These additions represent both newly opened facilities and existing food banks that we've recently verified and added to our system.

Why Location Matters

Access to food assistance shouldn't depend on where you live. Unfortunately, rural communities often face challenges with food access due to:

• Greater distances to food assistance locations
• Limited transportation options
• Fewer food bank facilities per capita
• Less awareness of available resources

By continuously expanding our database, we aim to bridge these gaps and ensure that rural families have the same access to resources as those in urban areas.

Featured New Locations

Mobile Food Pantries

Several new entries this month are mobile food pantries that travel to remote areas on scheduled days. These innovative programs bring food assistance directly to communities that might otherwise go without. Mobile pantries are especially valuable because they:

• Eliminate transportation barriers
• Reach isolated communities
• Often provide fresh produce and perishables
• Create community gathering opportunities

Check our listings for mobile pantry schedules in your area.

Faith-Based Food Ministries

We've also added numerous church-based food pantries that serve their communities. These programs often provide:

• Weekly or bi-weekly distributions
• Personal, compassionate service
• Additional support services and referrals
• Community connections and fellowship

School-Based Programs

Several schools now host food pantries that serve both students and families in their communities. These programs recognize that children learn better when they have adequate nutrition, and they extend support to entire households.

How We Verify Locations

Every food bank on FoodBankFinder.Net goes through a verification process to ensure accurate information. We:

• Contact facilities directly to confirm hours and requirements
• Verify addresses and contact information
• Update operating hours regularly
• Note any special requirements or restrictions
• Include details about services offered

This commitment to accuracy means you can trust that the information you find on our site is current and reliable.

Help Us Grow

Our database grows thanks to community input. If you know of a food bank, pantry, or food assistance program not currently listed on FoodBankFinder.Net, please submit it through our "Add a Food Bank" feature. Your contribution helps ensure that others in your community can find the help they need.

We especially welcome information about:

• Small community pantries

Looking Ahead

As we head into the holiday season, we're working to add even more resources to help families access nutritious food. December typically brings special holiday food distributions, and we'll be updating our database with information about these seasonal programs.

We're also working on features to enhance your experience:
