No food bank should have a shortfall in this valley of VC's, highly paid tech workers, profitable companies and multi-million dollar homes. Sad statement on this area.

There is something out of order with the numbers in this article.

It says, "Second Harvest distributes more than a million pounds of food..." and elsewhere:

"Second Harvest relies heavily on smaller donations from individuals, which make up more than 60 percent of the annual budget, Bacho said. The average donation made by individuals is $168, but they tallied up to more than $25 million last year.

This suggests that the annual budget is $42 million since 60% of $42million is $25.2 million.

$42 million to distribute more that million pounds suggest a cost of $42 per pound.

"more than a million pounds" could be a lot more that a million, say 10 million which would make it $4.2 pound. If that the case it seems like poor journalism to me

Let's see... A million pounds of food per year.
That's like 83,000 pounds per month -- for "257,000 people each month".
Or like 5 ounces per customer per month.
Yup, something looks off by at least an order of magnitude.
