Although the Food Bank program cannot address all the hunger needs of clients, its intent is to provide supplemental food items that will raise the nutritional level of low-income families.

 A volunteer force of approximately 750 individuals assist in all aspects of the operation:  loading and unloading of delivery trucks, packing and transporting of foods, and screening clients for eligibility.  The program could not operate without these dedicated volunteers.

• Distributes donated and salvaged food through the private sector.  It includes approximately 55 participating organizations and serves over 114,000 households annually.

• Supplements food for 20 soup kitchens countywide to serve a minimum of 45,000 meals per month.
