During the first three months of this year our average number of clients has dropped somewhat as is typical of this time of year, since clients normally have additional income due to receipt of tax refunds. We have also heard of some success stories where regular clients no longer need assistance after finding full time employment. However we continue to average approximately 10 client families per service day.
Our backpack program serves 44 children (33 at McKinley and 11 at Springville Elementary School). We average 900 pounds of food provided per month through this program. This represents an increase in amount of food provided due in large part to the increased number of extended weekends caused by the fewer number of school days.
Due in part to your generosity, we also continue to assist clients monthly with limited financial assistance for rental or utility payments. Most of these payments avert an imminent client eviction or utility shut off.
Thank you very much for your continuing support!
