Last year, 40% of the Food Bank's total distribution was comprised of produce. In addition, the Food Bank provides a number of hunger-relief, nutrition education, and food collection programs that benefit the community. The Food Bank's mission is leading the fight against hunger, its vision is food access for all, and its goal for the future is to expand service to the community to 100,000,000 nutritious meals by 2018.
