In general they are charities that provide food to people in need. A family who is poor or struggling to get enough food to feed everyone can go to a food bank, and be given some food. These charities depend heavily on donations from people or from companies that get tax benefits in exchange for donating to a charity.
expecting a food bank ot have profit is just silly(or a very US thing thing ot say).
Food banks are receiving donations to be redistributed to the people that need them. they are by definition a charity.
if anyone profits from them its usually the companies that donate to them, as they can generally get a tax write off.
