Hunger Facts
The pandemic and resulting current economic climate have greatly impacted local families. While the rather startling numbers tell one story, there is more to it than just statistics. Even prior to COVID-19, the Interfaith Food Bank served thousands of residents each year, the vast majority of whom were senior citizens and working heads-of-households who, even with full-time employment, could not put enough food on their tables for their families.
In 2023, the Interfaith Food Bank served just over 1,949 households and 6,291 individual in our county.
