The Rentschler Field food distribution center was set up as an emergency operation. Organizers say they thought it would only be open for a few weeks. But since March, much has happened.
“We’ve served 220,000 cars and distributed over seven and a half million pounds of food in the nine months we’ve been here at Rentschler Field, said Foodshare logistics manager Dom Piccini.
According to organizers, volunteers have donated over 16,000 hours of time at Rentschler. Operating costs are around $50,000 a month to buy food. This is subsidized by monetary donations to Foodshare.
