The data below can be sorted to show specific counties, municipalities, and time periods. The charts show, by the month and year, the total number of people assisted each month, and the meals equivalent of food provided. To protect the privacy of our guests, we limit the questions asked to a person’s city/town of residence, the number of people in their household, and the general age ranges of members of their household.
The Food Bank’s fiscal year 2024 data is also available in PDF format for each county and all of Western Massachusetts:
Beyond the Numbers
Telling the Full Story
The amount of food we distribute and the number of households we serve are the most easily measurable metrics of the Food Bank’s work, but our impact reaches far further. From our SNAP enrollment programs and our advocacy work to our less quantifiable impact on the day to day life of people living with food insecurity and hunger, the story of The Food Bank is more complex than numbers alone can tell.
