- Money to cover supplies and utilities. Our utilities cost on average $600.00 per month.
- Money to purchase food. In past years we were able to rely on salvage from Northwest Arkansas Food Bank, our regional distribution point and pay transportation costs of 14 to 36 cents per pound. However, today very little salvage food is available and we are having to pay near retail price for food from this source. Thus in 2010 we paid $13,262 for food to distribute and in 2011 we paid $21,032 marking a 58% increase!
