About Cayman Food Bank
The Cayman Food Bank is a core hunger-relief organisation comprised of programs such as the island’s central Food Bank, Meal and Foodstuff Delivery, and Wellness and Sustainability Education. We will strive to help feed the most vulnerable populations – children, families and seniors. Working together with our network partners to efficiently and effectively fight hunger, our multi-tiered approach and comprehensive programs are dedicated to nourishing the community while empowering lives.
The Cayman Food Bank distributes food to local network partners also know as non-profit social service organisations and these organisations serve:
- Local children who need a nutritional foundation to learn and grow
- Local families struggling to make ends meet and provide for themselves
- Senior and homebound neighbors who need nutritious meals and services for health and independence
Our Mission
We have launched the first Food Bank organisation in the Cayman Islands to mitigate island-wide hunger, malnutrition and poverty by providing access to good, healthy food through gathering and distributing food donations to network partners or non-profit social organisations including various food counters serving the critical needs of low-income families and seniors living in all districts with little to no cost to the recipients.
