Mobile Foodshare grows

The numbers of people seeking assistance at Mobile Foodshare continue to grow.  Today, driver Gary reported serving 400 people at the Charter Oak Community Health Center in Hartford and another 300 people at the United Methodist Church in Hartford.  These are record numbers in both cases.

When we compared the number of people served in each two week rotation of the program in the first quarter of 2012 and the second quarter, we found that we were seeing about 800 more families every two weeks these last three months.

I wouldn't say we're proud of this, though.  All of us at Foodshare would prefer to see these numbers going down and the lines getting shorter.
