Organization Overview
Renewal Food Bank provides food assistance and essential hygiene items for our customers. Customers can shop weekly and receive produce, meat, shelf-stable groceries, baby supplies, pet food, and hygiene items, providing significant relief for their monthly budget while avoiding devastating decisions between basic needs such as shelter, education, or food for their family.
Since September 2022, demand for our services has surged by over 60%, to more than 470 families per week, benefiting over 1,500 individuals. In 2023, nearly 1,000 new families registered with us.
Our registration process is available in 6 languages and informational signage is provided in 10 languages along with photographs. Currently, 60% of our staff and 55% active volunteers speak language(s) other than English fluently, so customers who need language assistance can comfortably shop with us. Renewal is committed to providing our customers with culturally relevant food with a customer-choice/grocery-style model that allows folks to select food that aligns with their dietary requirements and cultural and religious preferences.
Currently, we partner with more than 18 local grocery stores and other retailers to procure high-quality, culturally relevant food and fresh produce, totaling over 25 pickups weekly. In the last six months, our food rescue team prevented over 370,000 pounds of food from going to the landfill through our food rescue program. We are committed to providing customers with access to nutrient-rich options, particularly fresh produce and proteins that empower our customers to make healthy meals. With the efforts of our staff and volunteers, we are able to provide customers with respectable
quantities of 6-8 types of fresh fruits and vegetables weekly.
