What We’ve Achieved as a Community
Since 1997 more than $4.2 million has been disbursed to regional foodbanks. Funds are used by the foodbanks to purchase food essentials that supplement individual and corporate food donations.
Today our foodbank partners tell us that the funds they receive from Harbour Lights represent approximately one-third of their annual food purchasing power.
