The story behind the numbers
From a 1,000-meal goal to thousands more
In our first year, we set out to serve 1,000 meals — and ended up providing roughly 9,000. Since then, our neighbors’ generosity has carried that total past 30,648 meals, served alongside 201 volunteers.
Co-founder Alex Duvall has described the shift from the first year to the second as moving from how much food we could give away to how many people we could serve with — growing the volunteer body, not just the meal count. More than anything, he has said, the aim is to bring people together and build a sense of community.
