Volunteers & Supporters
​IFPO leaders continue to work tirelessly and extensively to serve our neighbors. The IFPO distributes food and essential items on Wednesday mornings. We regularly assist 650 households per distribution. In 2024, we experienced over 27,600 pantry visits. This is an astonishing 130% increase over pre-Covid levels in 2019, when we saw 12,000 pantry visits.
The fall is an exceptionally busy time at the IFPO. We have our annual Fundraising Campaign, bi-annual coat collection, and we are preparing to assist 900 neighbors in need for Thanksgiving.
