In 2009, 1 in 8 American’s sought emergency food assistance!
We all know how serious things are in Genesee County...
But did you know...
***Over 50% of people using the services of the food bank are families who have always worked but lost their job, or families who are under-employed?
***Did you know that nearly 40,000 kids in Genesee County eat breakfast and lunch at their schools?
***Or that 2500 area children, after school on Friday are given back packs full of food to get them through the weekend?
***Over 200 area senior citizens rely on food boxes through the monthly food box program.
