Hey buddy, 

Welcome to The Numbers page.   

Some of us thrive on numbers (If you are one, you have our sympathies.) but here is how we've been doing.   

We keep a daily log of the things we do because we're in the business of feeding people.  Like any business, we've got to keep track of things so we know how well we're doing.  Numbers aren't fun, but we know they are important.  (Keep that in mind when you're thinking of making a donation.  We think we're doing pretty darn good.)

What do these numbers mean?  

 

At the end of each breakfast, we count the total of "firsts" we served.  If any food is left over, we do serve seconds but we do not count these in the total for the day, giving us a better idea of the number of people we are feeding.

 

We serve on weekdays so in some months our totals can seem larger or smaller because of the number of weekdays in the month.

 

The Trend is the average of meals served by month times twelve months in the year and gives us an idea of what to expect for the remainder of the year.
