What it reported doing in 2024

Food programs: our hunger prevention programs are designed to support and supplement the nutritional needs of clients whether for short-term emergency needs or as part of a long-term stability plan. Food services are provided through four key initiatives including in-person selection in our client choice food mart, curbside pick up, home delivery and summer food for kids program. All food visits are by appointment, augmented with essentials boxes for walk in, emergency food requests. Our food support programs have experienced rapid growth, reflecting the changing demographics of suburban poverty and food insecurity, as well as the impact of high rates of inflation in the cost of food and housing on low-income households. The 9,176 food visits provided in 2024 was a 6.4% increase compared to the previous year, and represents a 30% increase in food orders for clients from 2022 levels. Prop assisted 630 new families, providing nutritious, fresh, culturally relevant food and other essential services to a total of 1,547 households, a 10% increase from 2023. The number of individuals assisted across all programs in 2024 is 5,129. Prop understands that good nutrition is key to healthy minds and bodies. We continued to provide fresh produce, dairy, meat, and bakery goods among other items from local grocers and community gardens. Prop continues to harvest its own garden to support the growing request for fresh produce.our food mart is open five days a week, allowing clients into the food shelf to "shop and personally select their food orders. Families with school age children had their food orders supplemented with additional food and child friendly nutritious snacks, heavily focused on fruits and vegetables, during the summer when school is not in session and school meals are not available for children who qualify for free or reduced-priced breakfast and lunch. Prop is continuing the expanded food delivery service begun during the pandemic through our partnership with southwest transit for senior citizens and persons who lack transportation and have mobility issues. Prop is an essential service and is open during daytime and evening hours to accommodate all who need food assistance. An additional shift on monday evenings was added to prop's weekly food service schedule in october 2023, increasing the number of food visits we can accommodate each month to 820.
