We began producing approximately 10,000 boxes a week of 28, 29 pound fresh fruit and vegetable boxes and many of them are distributed directly by our company to organizations as either delineated by us because they've called, or through one of the food banks. The food banks have directed us on their behalf, to deliver to various other 501c3 organizations that then distribute them the rest of the way, either in mobile markets or pantry drops.

So in the first three weeks, we distributed 30,000 boxes; of those boxes weighed 28, 29 punds. And they've just been enormously successful. We've participated in a variety of events, huge events. The Urban League through at Jamestown Mall every other week, which is a basically a food desert up in that part of the community, has been doing 4000 family distributions each every other week.

And we participated by now and we supply 1800 of our own boxes produced by us. But in addition, there are five refrigerated trucks that stayed there in order to help them not have the food in any way challenged by the weather.
