Expenses included approximately $45 of food (in-kind, USDA provided) that supported a family of four for three days. Participants received a food box that included produce, protein, and dairy. An additional $20 of direct expenses provided for Personal Protective Equipment, the trucks, forklifts and golfcarts needed to fulfill the event needs, the average cost per family served totaled $65. A food distribution weekend involves considerable planning, partnerships, and logistics,including the participation of dozens of volunteers.
