Mother Earth Farm Cannery Project Orchard Statistics |
The Emergency Food Network(EFN)
has been working since 1982 "to provide a reliable food supply so that no person in Pierce County
goes hungry." Each month The Emergency Food Network is comprised of the Distribution Center in Lakewood, the Cannery Project in Kent, the 8-acre organic Mother Earth Farm in Orting, and the Orchard in Roy. Through these operations, EFN distributed more than $13.3 million worth of food and other essentials in 2007. The Cannery produced 40,000 cans of produce and the Mother Earth Farm harvested more than 162,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables.
These innovative efforts combine to make the Emergency Food Network the only non-profit emergency food distribution center in the country able to take food straight from the ground to the tables of those in need. Please join us in the fight against hunger.
