FY25 was a challenging year – both for the Food Bank, and for the communities we support. Families felt the effects of a tumultuous economy while we worked to keep up with higher demand with fewer resources. But with the help of our incredible staff, the support of our community, and the generosity of our donors, this team accomplished so much.
