A food bank is a non-profit organization that solicits, receives, inventories and distributes food stuffs donated by farmers and food processing companies, food drives, grocery stores, ect... to charitable organizations or non-profit agencies from warehouses. These food items are typically non-perishable goods, meat and fresh produce passed to non-profit welfare agencies such as food pantries, emergency kitchens, churches, and Kids' Meals.

Kids' Meals is not a pantry nor a food bank.
