The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 126 recently presented the Food Bank of Delaware with a $5,000 donation to support anti-hunger relief efforts.
The donation will support the food bank’s operations in Kent and Sussex counties, and will enable the organization to provide 15,000 meals to neighbors experiencing food insecurity. Since the start of the pandemic, the Food Bank of Delaware has distributed more than 20 million pounds of food to Delawareans in need. During typical years, the food bank distributes 8 million to 10 million pounds of food.
