TALKING POINTS
Hunger in Our Community
-
Across our 11-county service area, 1 in 5 people struggles with hunger. That means nearly 55,000 of our neighbors may need help accessing food at some point during the year.
-
Many families served by the Food Bank have at least one employed adult in the household but still struggle to make ends meet.
-
Families facing hunger are often forced to choose between purchasing food and paying for other necessities, such as rent, utilities, or medication.
Food Distribution and Community Partnerships
-
Last year the Food Bank of the Golden Crescent distributed over 8 million pounds of food throughout the community.
-
The Food Bank of the Golden Crescent partners with over 70 non-profit agencies, including food pantries, soup kitchens, and trasitional housing in our community to supply food for distribution to their clients.​
Our Mission
-
The Food Bank of the Golden Crescent's mission is Helping Heal the Hurt of Hunger.
Children Facing Hunger
-
One in four children in the Food Bank’s 11-county service area faces hunger.
-
Through the Kids’ Weekend Meals Program, the Food Bank helps ensure children have nutritious food to eat when school meals are unavailable over the weekend.
Seniors Facing Hunger
-
Seniors are increasingly vulnerable to hunger because of limited incomes and the rising costs of food, medication, housing, and other necessities.
-
The Food Bank provides monthly food boxes (CSFP) to qualifying seniors to help supplement their nutritional needs.
Volunteer Make It Possible
-
The Food Bank relies on the generous support of volunteers to help serve neighbors throughout the Golden Crescent.
-
Last year, more than 680 volunteers donated over 8,600 hours of their time to support the Food Bank’s mission.
