United Food Bank is calling for the help of the public to fill its empty shelves. In the past three months, they have distributed a record high of 6 million pounds of food- an average of 2 million pounds per month!

While it looks like these numbers are a good sign, getting so much food out the door into the hands of the people who need it, it actually reflects a serious problem. The need has increased so much in the past year that United Food Bank must continue to provide more and more food to meet that rising need.


Donations have dropped off significantly in the month of April- not even reaching half of the amount of food that was distributed in the past 3 months. However, since the need has not decreased in the slightest, United Food Bank is struggling to find more resources to keep up.
