The year 2008 is here and things are very busy at the CFC! We have been open only 6 days since the new year began and already we have registered or "re-registered" (verified all information about established clients) more than 450 clients. The cold weather, the economy and all those utility bills are making life a little more difficult for our friends in need of food.
We promised that we would share our statistics for the year 2007 when they were gathered and that is the plan for today.
In the year 2007:
We served 19,544 families or 29568 individuals
The CFC was open 149 days. (4 hours each day)
We welcomed 745 new families, serving an average of 70+ families each day
Our income for the year was $49,737.33 (donations from various civic and religious groups, individual gifts and some corporate gifts)
$14,087.26 was spent on non-food items (rent, supplies, insurance, phones, etc)
$31,080.77 was spent directly on food.
222,991 pounds of food were donated by the good citizens of Blount County through churches, civic organizations, food drives and individuals.
Over the year 254,072 pounds of food was distributed.
What a blessing to serve so many! No one is ever charged for food and no money is accepted from our clients for their food in any way.
We thank this community for their generous support and continued involvement in the CFC.
