In addition to emergency food services, we also lift adults out of poverty by providing training opportunities in food service and warehousing/logistics and empower our neighbors through fi nancial coaching,nutrition education and benefi ts application assistance.Our services assist more than 100,000 Delawareans.GIVING OPPORTUNITIESFor every dollar given to the Food Bank of Delaware, we can provide three meals to Delawareans in need. Generous donors enable us to provide not only emergency food through our network of partners, but also nutrition education, outreach and workforce training.
