We are proud that since SWIM’s founding, food banks have been our core customers. Currently, we work with 6 member food banks, one non-member food bank, and one Partner State Association. On behalf of food banks, we have also engaged 1,000+ agencies via cohorts and assessments in the last two years. Over the past year we’ve engaged face-to-face with 200+ neighbors to learn about their experiences to shape food bank strategic planning.
