About Feeding America's Hungry Children
 

FEEDING 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.
