    2024 State of The Food Bank

    The Franklin Food Bank has changed significantly in the last three years to meet the growing and complex needs of its neighbors. In 2022, our focus was on broadening the reach of the Franklin Food Bank to serve more people. In 2023, we focused our attention on deepening the impact of our work to analyze and improve outcomes. Building on the momentum of both of those areas of focus, in 2024 we prioritized our involvement in coalitions as a way to leverage or inspire collective action. In 2025, we’re looking to effectively align and integrate these efforts in a comprehensive and dynamic, data-driven manner that will be codified for sharing and replication with others in the food security space. This hour long, look back, look ahead with 2025's area of focus, and a live Q&A with Executive Director Derek Smith is sure to be a great listen. We always look for ways to be inclusive, to invite you into our family.
