4000 families equates to about 13,000 food insecure people in Nevada County. 449 volunteers help provide groceries to IFM clients 3 days a week every other week- but with a new facility, IFM will begin weekly offerings. However, in order to do so, the number of volunteers will need to increase as well as donations. The Cajun Style dinner and auction raised several thousand dollars for IFM, but more will be needed as the year progresses.
