The Centre is making a measurable difference in meeting the needs of these food-insecure neighbors by: Delivering 2,400 hot meals/month to community neighbors Delivering 1280 boxes of groceries and 1280 bags of fresh produce to 320+ families per month. Distributing more than 1,300,000 pounds of food to the community through the in-kind support of over 200 volunteer preppers, packers, and delivery volunteers
