The breakdown from the Creston Valley Gleaners Foodbank was 625 adults along with numbers from other categories including children, seniors, women and native.
Spokesperson Yvonne Harland says their numbers comparable to other communities of similar size.
She says the info is valuable.
The hunger count is conducted in March and the compiled results are released in the fall.
