How the Pallet Program Supports Food Banks
February is often a reset month for food banks. Holiday surges have passed, but community need remains high; and in many cases increases during the winter months. For small and medium-sized food banks, this time of year brings familiar challenges: steady demand, limited storage space, and budgets that need to stretch as far as possible.
One of the biggest hurdles is sourcing food at affordable prices without overcommitting to large volumes. Traditional bulk purchasing often requires full truckloads, which can be unrealistic for organizations managing smaller facilities or fluctuating distribution schedules.
That’s where Glennon Trade’s Pallet Program makes a difference.
Flexible Ordering That Fits Your Reality
The Pallet Program allows food banks to purchase food by the pallet instead of by the truckload. This flexibility helps organizations order quantities that match real needs, making it easier to manage inventory when storage space and cash flow matter most.
Whether you’re stabilizing after the holidays or planning consistent distributions through late winter and early spring, pallet-level ordering helps you stay responsive without overbuying.
Big-Buyer Value for Small & Medium Food Banks
Through Glennon Trade’s supplier network, the Pallet Program gives small and medium-sized food banks access to competitive pricing typically reserved for larger organizations. That means more purchasing power — without the pressure of large commitments.
With pallet-based ordering, food banks can:
Reduce food waste and spoilage
Improve inventory control
Maintain consistent food availability
Stretch limited budgets further
Every pallet ordered is an opportunity to serve more meals with fewer resources.
A Partner You Can Count On
At Glennon Trade, the Pallet Program is about more than food sourcing — it’s about partnership. We work closely with food banks to understand capacity, timelines, and distribution needs, helping simplify procurement during an already demanding season.
The Pallet Program is designed to adapt alongside your operation, supporting you one pallet at a time.
