• Today, 68% of food distributed through the Feeding America network is classified
as Foods to Encourage (F2E) and by 2025 our goal is to have 75% F2E.

Feeding America and Food Banks F2E %
• Food banks are not currently held to any set goal for F2E, but our
network as a whole is expected to meet the 69% mark
• Food banks can view their F2E “status” on HungerNet
– https://www.hungernet.org/planning/data/Pages/superperformance.aspx
• Many food banks still choose to have a more detailed tracking
system
Follow #ACPN2015
• Designed to more accurately evaluate and describe the nutritional contributions of the food categories in the food banks’ inventories.
• This framework serves as the Feeding America national office recommendation, not requirement, for network food banks.

Feeding America’s 10 year goal

and government partners, will provide access to enough nutritious food
for everyone struggling with hunger and improve food security for the
people we serve to help them stabilize their lives.

F2E Discovery Project
• F2E is a strategic priority for Feeding America.
• FANO is committed to a F2E framework that balances the needs of all key
constituents, including network members, food donors, funders, and
emergency food providers.
• To enhance the current F2E framework, we are conducting a discovery phase to
hear key stakeholders’ perspectives on F2E.
• We have engaged a consultant with food banking expertise to lead this
process, which will be completed in the spring 2016.

31% of clients took
whole wheat bread in
the pre-nudge period.
This jumped to 64% in
the post-nudge period.
Multiple exposures led
to a 105% increase in
the likelihood that a
client selects bread.
The nudge also
increased the number
of loaves a given client
