Over the week ending with 17 June, we received approximately 4.17 tons of non-perishable food, and gave out some 3.95 tons and somewhat less perishable food to 406 families. (Due to donation shortfalls -- see below, each family received two items less of non-perishable food than our normal distribution target.)
Shortages for the next two distributions (projecting 390 families for each week): (1) canned vegetables (short approx. 633 cans), (2) canned soup (short approx. 523 cans), (3) oatmeal/cereal (short c.495 boxes), (4) pasta sauce (short c.456 bottles/cans), (5) pasta (short approx. 435 boxes), (6) mac & cheese (short approx. 380 boxes), (7) tuna/canned meat/canned fish (short c. 325 cans), (8) “meals in a can” (stew, canned pasta, chili, etc. - short c. 300 cans), (9) canned fruit (short c. 263 cans), (10) dry rice/beans (short c.209 pounds), and (11) canned beans (short c. 55 cans).
