Food Insecurity Specialization
Feeding Hope For A Better World.
YPTC proudly serves nonprofits focused on addressing food insecurity.
We Bring Solutions To The Table.
There has been a rapid increase in food insecurity in the United States, because of continued inflation, the end of pandemic aid programs, and other factors. As a result, according to the USDA, 34 million people, including 9 million children require assistance annually.
We work with food banks, soup kitchens, agricultural and nutritional education-based non-profits, and others providing our accounting expertise and tailored services.
Food Recovery and Redistribution
Food recovery is the process of collecting surplus food that is still safe to eat from grocery stores, restaurants, farmer’s markets and food manufacturers. Food redistribution is the process of taking this food and distributing it to local communities through food banks, pantries and other hunger relief organizations.
Once this recovered food makes its way to the hunger relief organization, it is up to that organization to implement best practices in food handling, storage and inventory management to maximize the amount of food that reaches those food insecure individuals in need.
Together We Can Serve.
As a result of the large population of US citizens facing hunger, the federal government has created initiatives across multiple agencies (such as USDA, HHS, HUD). These programs can provide funding for nonprofits addressing food insecurity through direct support, school lunch programs, farmers' markets and more. These programs can be complex and difficult to navigate. We are here to help!
