Program accomplishments

  • FOOD PANTRY IN 2024, WE PROVIDED THE INGREDIENTS FOR OVER 1.9 MILLION MEALS TO MORE THAN 87,000 INDIVIDUALS FROM 25,000 HOUSEHOLDS. INFLATION, HIGH HOUSING EXPENSES, AND REDUCED GOVERNMENT BENEFITS HAD AN IMPACT ON THE POPULATION THAT WE SERVE. ABOUT 65% OF ALL HOUSEHOLDS COMING TO BPNN FOR FOOD ASSISTANCE SPEAK ONLY SPANISH SO WE TRY TO PURCHASE CULTURALLY RELEVANT AND FAMILIAR FOOD TO PROMOTE HEALTHY EATING. WE HAVE RECRUITED BILINGUAL SPEAKERS AND TRANSLATORS TO HELP ON EVERY SHIFT. WE ARE ALSO EMPLOYING TECHNOLOGY TO BRIDGE THE LANGUAGE GAP WHEN BILINGUAL VOLUNTEERS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. ALMOST A THIRD (32%) OF THE PEOPLE WE SERVED WERE CHILDREN AND 8% ARE SENIOR CITIZENS. SEVENTY-EIGHT PERCENT OF ALL HOUSEHOLDS HAVE SOMEONE WORKING FOR WAGES, BUT INFLATION AND ECONOMIC SETBACKS MAKE OUR SERVICES ESSENTIAL.
    Expenses $4,426,473
