-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Agency Relations department of the Mississippi Food Network exists to provide information, resources, training, and monitoring support for member agencies.

Please browse this section for materials that will be helpful to member agencies as
well as agencies considering membership.

Member agencies select products from the Food Bank's warehouse inventory on a regular basis. Member agencies do not purchase food they receive from the Food Bank. They pay a shared maintenance fee, based on .16 per pound of product ordered, which partially offsets the cost to solicit, transport, warehouse and distribute the food and grocery products available to member agencies. Currently, fresh produce is exempt from the shared maintenance fee.
