TASK has dramatically expanded its footprint to help feed the growing number of people who are food insecure in our area.  Nearly 40,000 of our neighbors don't know where their next meal is coming from!  

On Friday, September 13, TASK hosted our third annual community meal & BBQ to commemorate Hunger Action Month, a time when relief agencies join together to raise awareness about food insecurity, which is surging across the U.S.

Over the fiscal year ending July 2024, TASK’s output surged 27 percent! The agency served 596,454 meals at 40 community meal sites. We also launched a new mobile soup kitchen and marked a sobering milestone – more than 7 million meals served since 1982.

TASK served nearly half a million meals in 2023 — the most ever in our 42 year history — thanks to your support. The soup kitchen also offered wrap-around care to nearly 4,300 people.

To meet the steadily climbing demand for TASK meals, we are launching a new mobile soup kitchen in early 2024.
