The objectives of this study were to: (a) examine the overall operating conditions of both government-dominant and
non-governmental food bank programs, (b) understand the operational management attributes on the target based on IPA
(importance performance analysis)(c) analyze the present status of donating management, and (d) suggest a direction
based on the analysis of advantages and disadvantages of food banks in each part. The random samples of 120 food
bank operators were selected by a proportionate stratified random sampling method. A total of 60 government-dominant
food banks and 25 non-governmental food banks were analyzed. The main results of this study were as follows: According to the Importance-Performance Analysis of operational management, “assistance for operating funds” and “deployment of experience staff” were placed at “Focus Here”. There was a great shortage of experienced staff with food bankspecific knowledge. The average number of the government-dominant and non-governmental food bank program employees was 0.29 and 0.30 respectively, while the ratios of employees with other jobs were 0.96 and 0.83 respectively.
Shortages of refrigeration facilities were an area that needs to be addressed. While 51.6% of donated food required cold
storage, only 45% of government-dominant and 60% of non-governmental food bank programs had refrigeration
facilities. Most of food bank operators (96.3%) were required to visit the donators’ locations to pick up the donated
foods. And the foods were distributed to the people in need, especially to the livelihood protectee. (Korean J Community
