Instructions for filing your complaint can be found on the USDA Discrimination Complaint Filing webpage.

USDA Discrimination Policy

In accordance with Federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, the USDA, its Agencies, offices, and employees, and institutions participating in or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity (including gender expression), sexual orientation, disability, age, marital status, family/parental status, income derived from a public assistance program, political beliefs, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity, in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA (not all bases apply to all programs). Remedies and complaint filing deadlines vary by program or incident.

Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g., Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.) should contact the responsible Agency or USDA’s TARGET Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice and TTY) or contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339. Additionally, program information may be made available in languages other than English.

To file a program discrimination complaint, complete the USDA Program Discrimination Complaint Form, AD-3027, found online at How to File a Program Discrimination Complaint and at any USDA office or write a letter addressed to USDA and provide in the letter all of the information requested in the form.

To request a copy of the complaint form, call (866) 632-9992. Submit your completed form or letter to USDA by:

USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender.

[Agencies will not engage] in discrimination in the provision of service against any person based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity (including gender expression), sexual orientation, disability, age, marital status, family/parental status, income derived from a public assistance program, political beliefs, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity.

About Our Commitment to Inclusion

The Food Bank of the Albemarle ensures that there is never discrimination in program design, hiring, or implementation based on any physical, religious, or unique characteristics or limitations of an individual or group. Furthermore, we ensure our partner agencies in the Hunger Relief Network serving northeast North Carolina receive non-discrimination training. 

When someone receives food through a program sponsored by the Food Bank of the Albemarle or a Hunger Relief Partner, they will not face discrimination.

Your Donations Matter

Food Bank of the Albemarle serves our neighbors across northeastern North Carolina every day, and we couldn't do it without your support. Thank you!
