The Interreligous Food Consortium (IFC) began in 1982 as an effort by the religious community and other concerned people to relieve the hunger problem in the greater Syracuse area. Currently, seventy food pantries and meal programs are part of a network that serves more than 200,000 meals per month in Onondaga County. Initially, the network of food pantries only served the needs in urban area. Today, they also serve a growing number of rural and suburban neighbors, the elderly, and the working poor.
