RESCUE- SIX DAYS PER WEEK, DRIVERS FROM OUR CADRE OF VOLUNTEERS COLLECT FOOD FROM LOCAL SUPERMARKETS, RESTAURANTS, FARMS, CATERERS, AND BAKERIES, AND DELIVER TO MORE THAN 65 LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING FOOD PANTRIES, COMMUNITY MEAL PROGRAMS, AFTER SCHOOL CENTERS, SHELTERS, AND MORE. THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE ACROSS HAMPDEN, HAMPSHIRE, AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES OF WESTERN MA. IN 2023, OUR REFRIGERATED VAN AND VOLUNTEER CARS DELIVERED OVER 701,000 POUNDS OF FOOD FROM 80+ FOOD DONORS- A 95% INCREASE FROM 2022. MOST OF THE INCREASE IS DUE TO OUR REFRIDGERATED VAN. WE CONTINUALLY ADD MORE ROUTES TO OUR RESCUE OPERATIONS, AND WE ARE BEGINNING TO REVIEW THE NEED FOR ANOTHER REFRIGERATED VEHICLE. OUR 2024 GOAL: SUSTAIN OUR INCREASED OPERATIONS TO MEET THE NEED WHILE ENSURING EQUITABILITY IN DISTRIBUTION.
PURCHASE- RTWM SPONSORS SEVERAL PROGRAMS TO CATER EVEN FURTHER TO SPECIFIC REQUESTS BY PARTNER AGENCIES. FRESH FRUIT FOR CHILDREN DURING THE WINTER MONTHS, SHELF-STABLE MILK FOR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN, AND TURKEYS FOR THANKSGIVING ARE EXAMPLES OF HOW WE SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY'S NEEDS DESIRES. THIS YEAR, OUR PURCHASE PROGRAM DELIVERED 33,500 POUNDS OF REQUESTED FOOD TO PARTNER AGENCIES. OUR 2024 GOAL: CONTINUE TO RESPOND TO CULTURAL AND DESIRED NEEDS OF THE CLIENTS OUR PARTNER AGENCIES SERVE.
GLEAN- GLEANING IS THE PRACTICE OF COLLECTING GRAIN OR PRODUCE AFTER HARVEST. 2023 SAW A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN OUR GLEANING PROGRAM- 44 GLEANS (UP FROM 12 IN 2022), 100+ NEW GLEANING VOLUNTEERS, AND 71% MORE PRODUCE HARVESTED AND DISTRIBUTED- DUE TO GREATER FOCUS ON OPEN COMMUNITY GLEANS, NEW LOGISTICAL SOLUTIONS, AND WIDER DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS.
