Bank is able to rapidly receive and distribute items
throughout our network of more than 430 agencies. In
1996 the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act was
enacted to encourage donations of food to non-profit
organizations, like Mountaineer Food Bank, for distribution to
needy families. This law protects manufacturers, retailers,
and wholesalers from liability when donating food to a
non-profit organization. If you would like more
information on the Good Samaritan Act or would like to make a
donation call Carla Nardella, at 1 800 HUNGRY 8
