Shared Maintenance Fees (SMF)
A Shared Maintenance Fee is a handling fee paid to food bank distribution centers by member agencies in return for services provided to them by the food banks. The reason for shared maintenance fees is to support the work of getting food and household goods to the people who need it, when they need it, and where they need it. Shared maintenance fees are charged based on a per pound basis, for food and household goods received. The needy persons receiving the food and household goods are never charged for them.
Beginning January 2016, Long Island Cares will begin adding the Shared Maintenance Fee (SMF) of $0.16/lb. on all items on our Donated Menu.
Feeding America recently polled hundreds of agencies with regards to the fairness of this system. Overwhelmingly, the agencies responded that they prefer a maintenance fee to a membership fee. The agencies also responded that they utilize the food bank for many items that they could not otherwise acquire through local donations from their community members.
