of hunger and poverty through community education and advocacy.
HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT
Since the start of the pandemic in March 2020, we have distributed more than 26 million pounds of food to our neighbors in need. Our services assist more than 114,000 food insecure Delawareans. Far too many
in our community are faced with difficult
decisions - pay the rent or buy food, pay for
medicine or eat? We step in so families don’t
have to make these difficult decisions. 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 financial coaching, nutrition education and benefits application assistance.
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
For every dollar given to the Food Bank of Delaware we can provide three meals to to Delawareands 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.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization. Last year we had almost 15,000 volunteer visits for a total of 46,804 donated hours. We have volunteer opportunities in Newark and Milford. Volunteers must be at least seven years old. Volunteers may sign up online at www.fbdvolunteerhub.com.
