Annual Statistics for 2010
Tender Mercies was open 181 days last year and we distributed groceries to 5440 families. The first question that arises in a lot of people's minds is, "Are these the same familes coming back each month, so that they are counted 12 times?" The answer is yes, a lot of them are. We feel that these families have a genuine need each month, and as long as they live in our established service area we serve any and all that profess a need for food assistance. TMM served 422 new families last year.
In August of this year we served 2000 individuals.
