🍂 September by the Numbers 📊
Here's a look at the impact your support made possible last month. Pantry visits were down slightly from August, a typical seasonal trend as late-summer gardens are harvested and school lunch programs help families stretch their food budgets.
🏠 39 households moved from our waitlist to active status, gaining access to the groceries and support they need.
🛒 11% of the food we distributed came from individual donors, food drives, food rescue, and gleaned produce from the Tuscaloosa River Market. The remaining 89% we sourced through the USDA, West Alabama Food Bank, discount grocers, and at cost through our dear friends at Piggly Wiggly Tuscaloosa County, totaling $7,543.
🍞 We were especially excited to welcome a few new partners who are now providing sandwich bread on a regular basis, something we're not able to obtain through the USDA. It was almost enough to meet demand! 😉 If your family, church, business, or organization is looking for a simple way to make a difference, consider joining our Daily Bread Brigade and helping ensure every family can take home this staple.
