There is a Demand

Potluck agencies report a 44% increase in the number of individuals they serve.

The fastest growing populations of individuals seeking some form of emergency food assistance are single mothers with children, working two-parent households and senior citizens.

There is a Supply

More than 100,000 pounds of good, wholesome food is
