This is an increase of 143 families and 247 individuals compared to last November. This month also set a new record for the highest number of children helped in one month. Your support helps ensure these families don’t have to go hungry over the holidays.

This October, the Lunches for Learning program provided families with all they need to send 3,720 lunches to school with their kids. Thank you to all the donors and volunteers who made this possible!

In October, 87 clients received pads and/or tampons from The Period Pantry. Thank you to the many donors who have supported The Period Pantry!

In October, our food bank helped 353 families. That’s a total of 543 people, of whom 103 were children. These numbers represent a 60% increase in the number of families and 55% increase in the number of individuals compared to October 2022.

Because of our new registration process, Lunches for Learning didn’t begin until mid-September. Nevertheless, we provided food for 1,580 lunches that month. Thank you to the many donors and volunteers who have made the program possible.
