Founded in 1986 and formally merged with Catholic Charities of Acadiana in 2019, FoodNet Food Bank exists to reduce hunger in Acadiana by providing food to those in need, generating community support, and creating awareness. We do this through a viable process for the collection and distribution of food in an accountable and compassionate manner.

FoodNet Food Bank is excited to announce the launch of the Grab One Extra initiative in partnership with local grocery stores, aiming to tackle the critical issue of empty collection bins at FoodNet Food Bank’s partner grocery stores. The campaign invites individuals across the region to make a simple yet impactful commitment: To purchase one extra can of non-perishable food during each shopping trip and place it in the designated collection baskets at participating grocery stores.

Collection Basket Locations throughout Acadiana: You can support these local grocery stores and FoodNet Food Bank at the same time! Just pick up a couple of extra food items during your shopping trip and drop them in the collection bins at the entrance of the store on your way out!
