We were there then. We are here now. \nCurrent food bank programs include daytime\, and seniors-only food distributions; expanded home deliveries; mobile food bank program to three senior housing sites; pop-up food pantries; a Baby Pantry providing formula\, baby foods and more; cultural foods buying program and grocery rescue. Intake services are provided in nine languages. \nIn 2025\, we served 15\,549 individuals (150\,879 individual visits)\, 6\,189 households (62\,214 total household visits) and distributed 1.7 million lbs of food. \n  \n\n \nArtwork: Theary Chhim\, PharmD\, Designer
