This table was constructed based on usable responses to Question 4 of the agency survey .

Notes:     
The percentages presented in this table are based only on usable responses, excluding missing, don’t know, and refusal responses.  All usable responses were weighted as described in Chapter 3 and in the Technical Appendix volume to represent all emergency food programs of the A2H National Network.  The sample sizes (N) also include missing data.

Missing, don’t know, and refusal responses combined are 10.8% for pantry programs, 20.0% for kitchen programs, and 7.7% for shelter programs.
