1 in 8 of our neighbors, and 1 in 6 children, are living with food insecurity and are unable to get adequate nutritious food year-round. The Food Bank works with partners in 11 counties to provide the additional meals that are needed in our communities to close the gap.
Last year we distributed nearly 48 million meals, 37% of that food coming from fresh fruits and vegetables. None of that would be possible without our network of partners and volunteers. This food comes from partnerships with Feeding America, government agencies, local retailers, food manufacturers and farms, and community donations.
Thank you for contributing to this work and supporting my fundraising goal as I get ready to run in May!

- hosting a Food & Fund Drive
