The organization, which is headquartered near Newark, cited the fact that nearly one out of four Delawareans depend on the Food Bank of Delaware’s network for food assistance.
The demand for food assistance, especially in Kent and Sussex Counties, has sharply increased, according to the group.
The expansion would allow an expansion of the Food Bank’s culinary program to Milford. The program has led to employment opportunities for many individuals. The added space would also allow the Food Bank to use more volunteers, a key part of its food distribution program. The Food Bank also wants to expand summer nutrition programs for children.
