Increased demand on the dining room. And if the people have the kitchens that will be the quality and be able to use the benefits or use a local supplement or even go to the food pantry. And with that, i would like to go back to dr. Jones to talk about the next steps, thank you. Thank you, terry. So now you have heard some bit about the report, and some of the data, and some of our high priority items. And i really just like to summarize the recommendation from the next steps and first of all it is full utilization of our federal Nutrition Program and especially cal fresh, which will generate the local Economic Activity and keep these dollars in the community and support the Retail Stores also and that is the nonprofit partners ability to meet the growing demand, coming from our residents.

And that does not mean that the people cannot eat those meals, but it does enable to say, that we are a long way from meeting the needs of the low income in our city. And when you total up, to the actual number of meals and what you see, and i am sorry on property jeks is the total missing meals is a total of 74 million meals every single year in San Francisco.

Will be a difficulty for the people to be food secure with the healthy diets and the need is just too great and as a community, if we are serious about addressing the Food Security we have to address this gap.

We put the family at the top of the income range for cal fresh and that 130 percent gross income of 130 percent of federal poverty every month and that is 2500. And that is calculates out to 1 and a half, full time jobs at minimum wage in San Francisco. And at that income level, family will be eligible for about 200. Somewhere in benefits and if you think about your own bills, you know that is not enough to cover the bills for a month, and not for a family.
