During our packet pickup, we will be collecting non-perishable food items for Northshore Food Bank. Participants who donate at least two non-perishable food items will be entered to win a gift card.

Northshore Food Bank is truly a community food bank. Supported by the generosity of businesses, civic organizations, and individuals, the food bank serves the needs of the most vulnerable in our community. Northshore Food Bank serves the Northshore and is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Northshore Food Bank provides food assistance to more than 300 individuals and families each week who live at or below the 200% federal poverty guidelines and have found themselves in need within our community. Individuals can receive a minimum of 40 lbs. of food every month and families can receive a minimum of 70 lbs. of shelf stable food each month. Recipients also receive what we call a “lagniappe” box, which is filled with dairy products, fresh produce, and frozen proteins.

The Food Bank is supported through community led food drives held by individuals, schools, civic organizations and businesses, as well as monetary donations and in-kind contributions from across our community. 

Northshore Food Bank is managed and operated by a handful of employees and hundreds of loyal and dedicated volunteers who serve in various roles such as: sorting, packing and distributing food to recipients; providing pick-ups for food donations; providing office support; and assisting with special events and food drives throughout the year.

The Food Bank, located at 125 W. 30th Ave Covington, Louisiana 70433, is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm to serve the needs of the Northshore community and to accept donations.
