Since food grew slower than people, food available per person declined from 11.6 to 11.0
pounds from 2018 to 2019. This level is substantially above the earlier years in the Harvest
– 6 pounds in 2015 to just under 9 pounds in 2017.
The value per shopper was also down in 2019 from $69.5 to $65.7, calculated at $6 per
pound. However, this is substantially higher than the earlier years of the harvest – $36.2 in
2015, $52.6 in 2016, $53.5 in 2017. Beginning in 2018, there was more value from $53.5 in
2017 to $69.5 the following year.
Over a 5 year period the church has served 7,086 people 66,327 pounds. This calculates to
9.36 pounds per person at a value of $56.2 over the period.
