This table was constructed based on usable
responses to Question 30 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.
Missing, don't know, and refusal responses combined are 4.6% for pantry programs, 5.2% for kitchen programs, and 4.7% for shelter programs.
1. This includes various community-based
organizations, such as Community Action Commissions.
According to Table 10.6.1, 75.7% of the pantries, 71.4% of the kitchens,
and 43.0% of the shelters are run by faith-based or religion-affiliated
nonprofit agencies. In addition:
- 2.5% of the pantries, 2.4% of the kitchens, and 2.6% of the shelters are run by government-affiliated agencies.
- Remaining agencies are operated by other kinds of private nonprofit organizations, such as community-based charities or philanthropic organizations.
