Title: Thousands of Bags of Groceries but More are Needed
Topic: Feeding the Hungry Families in America
Discussed by Steve O'Grady
with Operation Blessing International (www.OB.org)
The average weight of a bag of groceries given at a food pantry is 35 pounds. Prior to the pandemic,
Operation Blessing delivered an equivalent of 21,429 bags of groceries to local food banks, shelters, and other ministries every month. Since the pandemic, demand on their distribution centers has increased by almost 40%.

OB during the Coronavirus pandemic.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
My food pantry can’t handle a semi-tractor load of canned green beans. Can yours?
How many warehouses does OB have to store food and other goods throughout America?
How many national partner groups is OB affiliated with? Hint: over 4,500 food pantries, shelters and other ministries.
Why has OB been focused on a hunger relief ministry? Aren’t there local food pantries closer to those in need?
Does the federal government require OB to log in every item received and distributed?
How has the Coronavirus pandemic affected OB’s ability to meet the needs of people across America?
EDITOR’S NOTE:
What can YOU do to help? Terry encourages everyone who can help to “adopt” one family who needs help. If we all help just one, there would be no need for the government to interfere.
What are some other financial burdens OB is facing right now (other than a food shortage)?
What types of goods are donated to OB in semi-truck load quantities?
Other than private donors, what other companies and organizations support OB?
Why has OB had a difficult time securing a central hub in Houston for distribution? Be in prayer for this situation! We NEED an
OB hub in Houston!
