Agencies were asked whether their programs serve migrant workers, legal immigrants, or undocumented immigrants.

Source 
This table was constructed based on usable responses to Question 19 of the agency survey.
 
Notes 
The percentages presented in this table are based only on usable responses, excluding missing, don't know, and refusal responses. All usable responses were weighted as described in Chapter 3 and in the Technical Appendix volume to represent all emergency food programs of the A2H network. The sample sizes (N) also include missing data.

For migrant workers, missing, don't know, and refusal responses combined are 36.2% for pantry programs, 50.3% for kitchen programs, and 36.9% for shelter programs.

For legal immigrants, missing, don't know, and refusal responses combined are 30.9% for pantry programs, 44.6% for kitchen programs, and 27.4% for shelter programs.

For undocumented immigrants, missing, don't know, and refusal responses combined are 44.9% for pantry programs, 57.7% for kitchen programs, and 38.1% for shelter programs.

• 28.8% of the pantries, 34.0% of the kitchens, and 30.3% of the shelters serve migrant workers.
