a letter from us to you:
If you live in Benton County and make more than $12,000 a year on your own, you are above poverty level. If you live in a household of eight and your household makes above $41,000 a year, you are above poverty level. But, if you've ever had to pay your own bills, you probably shivered at the idea of making so little. How is this even possible to live on?
In Benton County, roughly 15% of our population falls beneath the poverty level. Once a family pays housing and other expenses, what's left for food can be inadequate in order to keep a well-rounded diet for the entire family - and that's where we come in.
Giving is not something that has to be justified. We just do it.
So, we need you. We need all of you to take a stand against children getting sick and seniors going hungry because buying healthier food - or even food at all - wasn't an option.
Hunger is solvable. Join our crazy team and be the solution.
With the greatest love,
The Mobile Food Pantry Party
