Food Distribution
The food distribution program anchors the Monument Crisis Center, for it fulfills the Center's mission to provide a five-day food supply for every individual and family that walks through the door. Today Monument Crisis Center supplies food to approximately 4500 different households annually and serves between 80-120 individuals and families per distribution day, distributing between 18,000-20,000 food boxes per year.
Open for food distribution five times a week, the Monument Crisis Center relies on monetary and food donations from the community to sustain its operations. The Center purchases 40,000 pounds of food every month from the Food Bank and receives an average of 10,000 pounds of food donations from private donors. The food boxes include perishable and non-perishable items such as canned fruits and vegetables, canned tuna and chicken, soups, cereal, peanut butter, bread and, when available, fresh produce and milk.
