Providing clients with monthly groceries means they will have the ability to cook and won&#8217;t have to rely on unhealthy processed fast food.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cost_and_Growth_Projections_for_the_Home_Delivery_Program\"><\/span>Cost and Growth Projections for the Home Delivery Program<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The food bank presently serves 10 families a month. The figures are expected to go up to 40 families every month once the program is fully operational. Each delivery cost $50, which includes dedicated staff for delivery, gas, van maintenance, supplies for carrying out the deliveries and special food items for clients with specific dietary needs.<\/p>\n<p>The total annual cost of the program is calculated to be around $20,000.<\/p>\n<p>Husain said the program is necessary because many community members are unable to access the food bank due to mobility issues, physical disabilities, chronic illness, age, isolation and mental health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFood is a basic right and shouldn&#8217;t be denied to anyone,\u201d said Husain.<\/p>\n<p>She said the community\u2019s support and contribution to the program will not only fund the essential logistics, but it will also help most vulnerable clients to become self-sufficient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Launch of Seva Food Bank Home Delivery Program The food bank, which provides culturally appropriate food to low-income families in Mississauga, launched home deliver pilot program in July.
