A: Th e mission of Florence Food Share is to alleviate hunger in western Lane County. We serve close to 5,000 individuals every year, which equates to distributing over 50,000 lbs. of food each month. We serve the homeless, the unemployed, the under- employed, seniors, children, the disabled and all others that fall within 185% of the poverty line as established by the U.S.D.A. Q: What are your greatest accomplishments so far, this year? A: As of July 1, 2016, our supervising agency mandated that we implement a second food program, the “Rural Delivery Program”. Th is eff ectively doubled our clientele overnight. Although extremely cramped, we successfully run both programs out of our small facility. We have now received over half the funding needed for a pantry expansion and expect to break ground in August, 2017, so that we can more effi ciently run these two separate food programs.
