February Hunger Stats

Written by: Kate Snyder, Executive Assistant

To give you a sense of the magnitude of the problem of hunger in our community, here are some statistics from EECM's Hunger Programs for February 2008:

Soup Kitchen -- served 1,800 meals
Food Pantry -- served 374 families
Meals on Wheels -- delivered 1,534 meals

As high as these numbers are, February is actually the slowest month for our Hunger Services. For comparison, here are some numbers from January:

Soup Kitchen -- served 2,050 meals
Food Pantry -- served 467 households
Meals on Wheels -- delivered 1,742 meals
