Feeding America, which provides the food for the monthly Food Truck program for the needy at the United Church of Wayland, has issued statistics for 2019.
The Food Truck provided 58,453 pounds of food to the food insecure at the Wayland site.
The United Church was told, “This food comes into Feeding America in two ways, donations (40,008 pounds) and USDA (18,453 pounds). Based on a market vale of $2.17 per pound, the value of the food we distributed is $126,830. All this provided for the Food Truck annual cost of $5,970.”
Funding participants in the program include St. Therese Catholic Church, St Cyril Methodist Catholic Church, Gun Lake Community Church, United Church of Wayland and Bill and Faye Howe, all of which make monthly financial contributions.
