MILFORD, Del. - The Food Bank of Delaware in Milford is now using solar power under a partnership with Energize Delaware and CMI Electric.
Under this partnership, the non-profit will now be able to produce an estimated 546 megawatt-hours.
As food insecurity continues to worsen, the food bank sees this as a great opportunity to invest more money in the fight against hunger.
"We always say money doesn't grow on trees, and neither, you know, does the food that we provide to our community. So for us to be able to purchase more food, to be able to supply, you know, to meet the growing need, this is just a it's a godsend," says Cathy Kanefsky, President and CEO of the Food Bank of Delaware.
With more financial resources available, the food bank says it is looking to invest in meals tailored to those with dietary restrictions in particular.
