Over the week ending with the 8 January distribution, we received approximately 3.43 tons of non-perishable food, and gave out some 3.49 tons of non-perishable food and about the same amount of perishable food to 358 families.
Estimated shortages for the next two distributions (projecting 370 families for next week and 380 for the following week): (1) canned soup (short c.550 cans), (2) pasta sauce (short approx. 522 bottles/cans), (3) dry rice/beans (short c.357 pounds), (4) pasta (short approx. 347 boxes), (5) canned fruit (short approx. 313 cans), (6) canned beans (short c.303 cans), (7-tie) “meals in a can” (stew, canned pasta, chili, etc.) short c.300 cans, and (7- tie) tuna/canned meat/canned fish (short c.300 cans), and (9) canned vegetables (short some 164 cans).
We also need: Similac Blue and Similac Orange baby formula, and/or domestic or foreign equivalents/substitutes, #6 diapers, and baby wipes.
