Number of Participating Food Banks (3.8.5)

The 2005 survey had considerably more coverage than the 2001 survey. In 2001, there were 104 food banks participating in the client survey (about half the food banks in the network). After adjusting for size, the 104 food banks were estimated to account for about two-thirds of all A2H operations. In the 2005 study, 156 food banks participated, and they are estimated to account for about 81% of all operations.
