Some numbers from 2024:
2997 guest visits
6549 individuals fed
1427 families served
Did you know these averages, over 12 months represent 51,194 non-perishable food items and 17,982 perishable items? Each family can come every week and shop for 13-27 items each visit, depending on the number of people in the household. The quota per visit represents about 50 % of a family’s food for one week.
The food shelf depends on donations of food and cash, and produce supplied by local gardeners and merchants. We buy items that are perishable such as meat, milk, cheese and eggs (some are donated by farms). We also buy items as needed to stock the shelves.
