HOW IT'S GOING (2022 YTD Food Purchases)

Yes, spending is up and inflation is certainly a factor. But that's not the only reason why - it's also because your generous donations have made it possible to say "yes" to increasing requests for high quality, fresh and healthy, culturally relevant food from member pantries. While donation sourcing comes first, the team also purchases supplemental food weekly to ensure community needs are met, investing in locally grown and harvested food.

Thank you for keeping this work moving forward - despite the continued economic challenges!
