AMERICA’S HUNGRY CHILDREN (FAHC), provided
services to 13 member agencies in 8 States
throughout America. These agencies were the
recipients of 1,944,753 pounds of food
valued at $2,917,129. Providing more than
1,495,963 meals with more than 38,895
families as beneficiaries of our food
projects.
Feeding America’s Hungry Children’s network
of more than 17 regional food banks and
food-rescue organizations serves 16 states
by distributing food and grocery products to
approximately 100 local charitable hunger
relief agencies including food pantries,
soup kitchens, women’s shelters, Community
Kitchens, and other organizations that
provide emergency food assistance.
The efficiency of operation resulted in that
99% of all product and money donations
received by Feeding America’s Hungry
Children went directly towards feeding
hungry people rather than administration or
fundraising. Efficiency was determined by
the percentage of total expenses devoted to
programs, rather than administration or fund
raising efforts. The value of product
donations was included and conservatively
valued at a wholesale figure of $1.50 per
pound..
Feeding America’s Hungry Children solicited
donated food and grocery products from the
nation’s food and grocery industry and
distributed it to hungry People across
America.
Growers, manufacturers, distributors, and
retailers all support Food Providers of
America through their generous donations.
These donations consist primarily of surplus
food that might otherwise go to waste were
it not for the effective distribution
channel provided by the Food Providers of
America agencies and associate Food Banks.
