Our one year totals are in guys. pantry floor 51,600 hours - pantry warehouse 34,100 hours - field groups 100 youth volunteers per week for 3 weeks 30 hours per week 9000 hours - events attended (meetings, block parties, informational seminars meet and greets etc.) 1350 hours - total volunteer hours connected to the pantry: 96,050 hours. Thats a lot of smiles we formed. We have supplied in excess of 35,000 ( 70,000 large bags) grocery orders. Our client base ranges as from Point Pleasant to Little Egg Harbor and as far west as Manchester. We have also identified 24 seniors and 12 families in need and now deliver food weekly. Plus a countless number of clients have been comforted by Hope and Healing each day and guided through the state services by our FoodBank SNAP agents. We have helped 27 clients apply for and receive needed funding for rebuild and expenses. We have gotten 11 families home in that capacity. We have cleared roughly 6 streets of debris in Ortley. Supplied food and drink to the firefighters fighting the seaside fire steadily for 3 days. We supplied volunteers and water to Where Angels Play playground build in Normandy. We partnered with the Rayne Foundation to provide school supplies to about 6,000 children in the county. We distributed roughly 400 new winter jackets. Partnered with the VNA to distribute flu shots. Partnered with Deborah Heart and Lung to do lung screenings. Acted as a site for World Renew. These numbers do not even take into account all of the homes and projects the Hurricane Sandy Resource Center has worked on. So good job team. It has been a very long road. Everything done could not have been done without all of your help. We always say this is a community effort and we mean it. Every volunteer, every donation, every like and share has made a difference. But this is only the start. We still have a lot ahead of us.
