DE Task Force Food Bank

Clients of the Food Bank may request food once every 30 days. The Food Bank provides each client with five to seven days worth of food, or approximately 100 lbs. of food, depending on Food Bank stock. We provide three meals per day (plus snacks!) for each family member. In 2013, the Task Force supplied over 463,000 lbs. of food to our clients! We also are often able to provide children's diapers, sanitary supplies for women and seniors and personal hygiene kits. In 2013 we provided $761,491 in these services to our clients. We often have pet food, laundry and other cleaning supplies. Additionally, each month we conduct two off-site Food Banks at low-income senior housing units. Historically we've provided approximately $75,000 of food/hygiene assistance per year to our senior citizens.
