This included food-insecure children, seniors, veterans, those experiencing homelessness, and low-income families throughout dane county. We provided our neighbors in need with: 2.9 million pounds of Food and other essentials; 80,022 freshly prepared to-go meals for entire households to enjoy at home; 29,091 mobile meals in over a dozen low-income neighborhoods; 4,453 grocery deliveries to The homebound; and 2,397 online grocery orders to provide customer choice.
