Lend a hand: Private sector donations will grow, and continued food insecurity will sustain demand

Community Food Services in the US

Feeding growth

As a countercyclical industry, community food service providers experienced revenue growth during the recession, due to high unemployment and lower disposable incomes. Despite the economic recovery, increasing food insecurity will drive the industry's performance over the next five years. Federal funding will diminish as a result of policy change, but private sector donations will likely rise in light of recovering disposable income.

This industry comprises establishments that collect, prepare and deliver food for the needy. The industry includes food banks, meal delivery programs and fixed and mobile soup kitchens. Establishments may deliver meals to persons who cannot prepare meals for themselves due to age disability, or illness. Additionally, establishments may distribute clothing and blankets. This industry excludes emergency relief services establishments providing food and other aid to disaster victims.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
