Over the past 12 months, the Foodbank has made tremendous progress in providing fresh foods to the families and individuals we serve. Compared to this time last year, we have increased our distribution of fresh products by nearly 20%. Recent funding opportunities enabled us to purchase cold storage for a number of partners. These additions have allowed for higher volumes of fresh products like milk, yogurt, frozen protein, and produce.
With the help of volunteers, we have prepared hundreds of robust perishable boxes for drive-up food giveaways.
Families receive 20 to 40 pound boxes of food including staples like carrots, potatoes, and onions, paired with various fruits, such as kiwi, pineapples, or lemons. Milk, lean protein, cottage cheese, and butter have also been
provided. See back page for details.
