THE HUNGRY

Did you Know?

41 million Americans face hunger every day. It’s an issue that affects all genders, ethnicities, ages and backgrounds. One 2018 U.S. study identified that 1 in 10 working adults and 1 in 6 children live in homes which cannot always afford enough food. Research also indicates that senior citizens are the fastest growing food insecure population in the United States. The tragedy is that 40% of all food produced in America is wasted. Through our initiatives and partnerships we are making a significant difference in reversing these statistics.

Here’s how we are making an impact.

Through strategic partnerships with businesses and local government agencies CityServe PODs have growing access to fresh produce and food supplies to minister to their community. CityServe churches are engaged in feeding ministries and nutrition support to help working families that are struggling to provide healthy food for their children.

Over the past 12 months CityServe has helped to rescue and distribute over 420,000 pounds of fresh produce.
