Looking back on what the year has meant to the Food Bank and those we serve, we are proud of our continued efforts to meet the demand of providing nutritious food and grocery product to thousands of families in the tri-state.

Our Accomplishments are a result of community support, caring volunteers, and a dedicated staff.

bullet

Food Distribution: Distributed over 4 Million Pounds of food to help feed needy people in the tri-state through our network of nearly 200 member agencies.  More than 50,000 families each month are provided with food assistance.

bullet

Web Site:  Launched our Web Site.  This will improve communications with agencies, donors, and volunteers.  To gain more food donations from the national food industry, it is important to keep up with today's technology.

bullet

Client Self-Sufficiency:  Assist member agencies in promoting client self-sufficiency programs and community-building programs by providing tools and information to agencies to pass along to their clients.

bullet

Agency Relations:  Enhanced the quality of support to agencies through our monitoring process.  This helped increase the level and consistency of agency performance toward meeting the objective of ending hunger.

bullet

Financial Strength and Stability:  Although the year was a challenge financially, we maintained a fantastic efficiency level.  Ninety-six percent of our functional expense went directly into the feeding program with only four percent to management and fundraising.

bullet

Back Pack-Food for Kids Program: Our Back Pack-Food for Kids Program begin  April 2005.

bullet

Hunger Study: Participated in a nation-wide hunger study to identify unmet needs in our local area and provide valuable information to guide us in our future goals and solutions to alleviate hunger.
