As part of our strategic plan, the Foodbank strives to deepen its relationships with neighbors receiving food. To best serve them, we collected survey results throughout the summer of 2024 regarding the types of food they’d like to receive, available in eight languages. The data collected will help guide our food sourcing team when selecting products to supplement the donated items on our menu.
The people we serve are the beating heart of everything we do. Their health, happiness and success drive what we do and how we do it.
