Maximize your Grant Funds

Breaking the barrier to freshness.

Nonprofits and feeding programs are expanding access to fresh food, but limited capacity makes dairy, produce, and protein difficult to store, prepare, and distribute.

The bridge to your outreach.

Partners for Good matches funding opportunities with your program goals; Burkett provides the infrastructure.

Food banks can pursue grant program support or work directly with Burkett to source equipment.

We handle the logistics and the hardware so you can focus on your community.

The result for your mission.

A more nutritious food supply chain for the community. With expanded cold storage, food banks can improve dairy access, offer more fresh produce, and serve more families with nutritious food.

We're here to guide you through the process, to make serving your community easier, and more effective.

From Grant to Impact: Real Projects, Real Communities

Burkett and Partners for Good have helped food banks and nonprofits across the country turn funding into fully operational cold storage programs.
