Food Insufficiency is growing daily with the increased food cost and less food banks operational and accessible to those in need. Putting food on the table has become the #1 basic need in our county.
Why do we do what we do with food? The following stats are why our food programs are so greatly needed and must continue. It is so important to not only understand the why behind what we do but to also see the realness of why we do what we do.
- The average family size in our county is 3 who live on $20,440/yr. or less.
- The average monthly income is $1,703 (Min. wage @ 30/hrs. weekly).
- 11% of the monthly income (187.33/mo.) is spent on food.
- A family of 3 is only able to spend $6.24/day per month which is a $2.08 per person per day food allowance budget monthly.
