Individuals
We directly donate and distribute food to more than 10,000 households and 35,000 people annually, primarily through free food giveaway events such as mobile pantry distributions.
These types of distribution events are very decentralized across many townships and various counties, enabling us to strategically serve communities where hunger and food insecurity are prevalent and even endemic.
In many cases, this includes an emphasis on serving people who reside in households located in so-called food deserts, typically lower-income and lower-access locations that are certain minimum distances from grocery stores and supermarkets.
One strategy that has resulted in great success has involved partnerships with townships that are generally located in rural areas where levels of poverty and hunger are elevated.
These types of partnerships have enabled us to work closely with local officials and decision-makers who best understand the people living around their communities, and how to optimally address their communities’ hunger realities at greater scale.
At our distribution events, we typically provide people with fresh produce, proteins such as meats, fresh dairy products such as milk, breads, snacks, and other items.
Our efforts result in enhanced household-wide access to healthy and nutritious food, improved personal well-being, greater flexibility in overall household budgets, and less total food decay.
These results are evident in our impact service area that extends thousands of square miles, including the distances that food recipients regularly drive to our free food giveaway events.
