In 2010, the Food Bank distributed $577,434 in food, hygiene and household supplies.

Clients may use the Food Bank every 30 days, and receive between 3.5 and 5 days worth of food (depending on Food Bank stock), three meals per day plus snacks, for each family member.

We have children’s diapers, sanitary supplies for women and seniors, and personal hygiene kits for the homeless.

We often have pet food, laundry and other cleaning supplies, toothpaste and toothbrushes—please ask us if you have a special need!

We conduct two off-site Food Banks monthly at low-income senior housing units, providing approximately $75,000 of food/hygiene assistance per year to senior citizens in need.
