Bread Riot Program Impacts
Let’s wrap up 2023 by reviewing our programs by the numbers!
As we near the end of the year, we’re taking some time to review Bread Riot’s programs and attempt to “weigh” the impacts on our community!
In Rowan County, approximately 16% of residents are food insecure, and 23.9% of children live in food-insecure homes, according to the most recent community health needs assessment. Bread Riot’s mission is to link farms to tables by supporting our small farmers and providing access to locally produced foods throughout the community. Each year, various Bread Riot programs help to fulfill this mission.
In 2023, Bread Riot supported 24 small farms, paying $19,779 to farmers for locally produced goods and awarding $10,000 in grants to Rowan County farmers!
In 2023, Bread Riot provided access to local food for 862 families, distributing 12,912 pounds of locally produced goods!
These impacts are made possible by the dedicated, hardworking and generous folks involved in our programs. This year, 236 volunteer opportunities were filled!
THANK YOU!
Let's see if we can boost these numbers in 2024 by supporting more local farmers and helping to reduce the number of Rowan County residents facing food insecurity.
