Leveling the Playing Field: How Glennon Trade’s Pallet Program Helps Smaller Food Banks Access Affordable Food Supplies

Every day, small and medium-sized food banks work tirelessly to serve their communities. But when it comes to sourcing food at competitive prices, many face a big challenge: economies of scale. Larger food banks can negotiate bulk truckload pricing and secure steep discounts from suppliers. For smaller organizations with more limited storage space and purchasing power, those cost savings are often out of reach.

That’s where Glennon Trade’s Pallet Program makes a real difference. Designed specifically for hunger relief organizations that can’t commit to full truckloads yet still need dependable access to affordable food, this program helps bridge the gap and stretch precious dollars further.

This flexibility means your size doesn’t limit your impact.

What Is the Pallet Program?

The Pallet Program allows smaller food banks and pantries to purchase food and supplies by the pallet rather than being forced into full truckload minimums. Whether you need one pallet or several, you get access to the quantities that make sense for your operations — no excess stock, no wasted resources, and no overpriced last-minute purchases.

Thanks to Glennon Trade’s extensive network of suppliers and producers, participating organizations can secure quality products at discounted rates typically reserved for larger buyers. This level of access isn’t just convenient; it’s transformational for programs operating on tight budgets.

How It Works:

Getting started with the Pallet Program is easy:

1. Reach Out With Your Needs
   Contact Glennon Trade with what your food bank needs: specific items, quantities, timing. Our team will take it from there.

2. Quotes From a Network of Trusted Suppliers
   Glennon Trade sources competitive pricing through its supplier network, giving you the best value based on your needs.

3. Order Only What You Need — No Truckload Requirements
   Unlike full truckload requirements, ordering by the pallet lets you manage inventory more sustainably and avoid the risk of overstocking or spoilage.

This flexibility means your size doesn’t limit your impact. Whether you’re filling pantry shelves for monthly distributions or planning for seasonal surges, you now have a partner that meets you where you are.

Why This Matters

For smaller hunger relief organizations, every dollar saved on procurement is another meal delivered to a family in need. The Pallet Program not only lowers food acquisition costs, it also helps food banks maintain consistent supplies even when funding or donations fluctuate. This reliability builds stronger connections with the communities you serve and reinforces your ability to respond quickly to changing needs.

At Glennon Trade, the mission is simple: to help food banks and hunger relief organizations secure the resources they need without waste, stress, or unnecessary cost. By offering an innovative solution to an age-old challenge, the Pallet Program is helping smaller food banks operate more sustainably and confidently: fighting hunger with every pallet delivered.
