This Easter season, The Food Bank, Inc. is calling on the you to help ‘Fill Our Baskets’ and bring hope to families facing food insecurity. With the demand for food assistance increasing by an astonishing 500% in the past year and a half, the organization now serves between 450 – 500 families per week, a drastic rise from just 200 families per month at the end of 2023.

"As families come together to celebrate Easter, many in our community are struggling to put food on the table," said Sheila Stewart-Leach, Executive Director. “Our research indicates that between the federal poverty rate and families who are employed, but have limited assets, up to 56% of area households are forced to choose between food and other essential expenses.”

“This Easter, we want to fill baskets with hope, nutritious meals, and support for those who need it most,” she continued. “We’re asking for your help to ensure that no family goes hunger this holiday.”
