Helping families access the food they need
Food insecurity affects 47 million people in the U.S. each year. From moving truckloads of produce to delivering meals directly to families’ doorsteps, Amazon is using its scale, speed, and logistics expertise to improve access to food in communities.
Amazon built a delivery network that can get almost any item where it needs to go, and fast. Now, we’re applying that same expertise to fight food insecurity—transporting food from suppliers to food banks, from food banks to families’ doorsteps, and to communities where distance can be barrier to food assistance. One delivery at a time, we’re helping expand access to food at no cost to food banks or the families they serve.
Amazon delivers nutritious food from local food banks directly to families’ doorsteps, for free, helping people who can’t easily reach food banks because of work schedules, transportation limitations, or mobility challenges. Since 2020, we’ve delivered more than 60 million meals to over 200,000 households.
Amazon transports food in bulk where it’s needed most, for free—moving tens of thousands of pounds each week from suppliers to food banks and community distribution points. Since launch, we’ve supported 700 nonprofits across 15 countries, transporting over 100 million essential items, including more than 70 million meals.
Rural communities face unique challenges due to long distances and limited transportation options. Using our growing rural delivery network, Amazon is innovating with our nonprofit partner, No Kid Hungry, to deliver meals directly to students living in rural communities—ensuring children can receive food even when school is out for the summer.
Delivering change: How home delivery transforms lives
Research shows that home delivery saves families approximately $100 per month in time and travel costs. Through Amazon's home delivery, food insecure families receive meals from food banks right to their doorsteps, saving them time, energy, and resources while experiencing improved emotional well-being compared to those participating in food pickup programs.
