Today, with an all-volunteer crew of 40+ who log approx. 2,000 hours collecting, sorting, storing, and distributing 120,000 pounds of food, we are able to serve more than 1,800 families each month.
Our hours and location remain the same, however we have changed our model to an "outdoor undercover farmers market," where we continue to offer fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy, protein, and bakery.
WE STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH:
· The families in Georgia, and all who have experienced anti-Asian hate
· Black Lives Matter
· All who have experienced hate, violence and oppression
· LGBTQ2+ and support diversity, inclusion and equality
WE STAND UNITED AGAINST:
· Anti-Asian hate
· Hate, violence, and oppression
· Discrimination based on race, skin color, religion, sex, age, disability and sexual orientation
· Hunger
WE BELIEVE:
· Black lives matter
· Structural racism benefits the dominate white culture and disadvantages people of color
· Racism is interwoven into our food system and is a root cause of hunger
· We must work for racial justice and equity. The Blaine Food Bank is committed to being an anti-racist organization
We stand with the families of those attacked and killed as a result of hate
Our collective work will not be done until all Asian-American, Pacific Islanders, Black, Latina, Indigenous, and all people of color, religion, disability, age, sexual preference and/or sexual identity can live without fear, and without experiencing oppression, discrimination and violence
HAPPY SPRING
and our amazing team serves over 400 families each week!
