At VAFS, we understand the unique challenges food banks are facing right now. With funding cuts, fewer donations, and a growing demand for services, every dollar and every decision matters more than ever. That’s why we’ve built our food box program to offer practical, cost-effective solutions that help you stretch your resources and better serve your clients. What We Do: Food Boxes Built at Our Wayland Mixing Center Our food boxes are assembled with care and efficiency out of our Wayland Mixing Center. From there, we’re able to ship pallet quantities of shelf-stable, prepacked boxes directly to your facility—saving you time, money, and labor. We offer two main options:

• Standard Box Offerings: Curated menus of shelf-stable essentials packed and ready to ship.
• Custom Builds & Labeling: Choose your mix of items and branding to meet your specific program and community needs.

Why Food Boxes Make Sense Right Now In today’s tough funding environment, food boxes can provide real relief for overstretched food banks. Here’s how:

🗸 Variety Without the Volume Many food banks are forced to buy full truckloads (FTLs) of just one or two items to get the best pricing—but that often means limited variety for clients. Our boxes solve that. Each one includes a mix of shelf-stable items—soups, proteins, fruits, grains, and more—so clients get balanced, useful food in every box.

🗸 Stretch Your Dollars Buying a full truckload of five different items might be out of reach. But with our boxes, you’re getting a variety without needing to purchase and store multiple FTLs. That’s fewer logistical headaches and better cost-efficiency.

🗸 Ready to Distribute No sorting, no assembly, no guessing. Our boxes are ready to hand out the moment they arrive—perfect for drive-thru distributions, senior delivery programs, emergency response, and more.

🗸 Perfect for Any Setting From food banks and pantries to healthcare organizations, schools, and churches, our boxes are designed to meet a wide range of needs. Whether you’re feeding 50 families or 5,000, we can scale with you. Let’s Build Something That Works for You We’re not just a supplier—we’re a partner. Whether you’re interested in a quick solution or a custom-labeled, mission-driven box build, we’re here to help you maximize impact. Want to learn more or see sample boxes?
