Both said they could find no record of a donation from Trump or his golf club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there's the entry for a $152.14 donation to the \"U.S. Department of the Navy.\" (That amount indicates the donation was for a gift certificate for \"Sunday brunch or two\" at the golf club.)

He says Trump helped support the Kiwanis Club's Palos Verdes Marathon from 2005 to 2007, with three donations of $15,000 each, and has supported the symphony through in-kind donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would have to say he's been a very good community supporter,\" Williams said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>In-kind Donations\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>NPR's other key finding was that overwhelmingly, charitable giving by Trump National involved gift certificates, such as the \"Sunday brunch for two\" or \"twosome for golf\" (worth approximately $600).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Washington Post\u003c/em> has \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/a-portrait-of-trump-the-donor-free-rounds-of-golf-but-no-personal-cash/2016/04/10/373b9b92-fb40-11e5-9140-e61d062438bb_story.html?utm_term=.fe3ad4ea93f4\">documented\u003c/a> that Trump properties around the country also prefer this type of donation.

But the gift certificate was valid only Mondays through Thursdays and expired within six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cases, experts say, cash donations are also much more valuable to a charity than in-kind donations. To turn a gift certificate into cash, a charity typically must hold an auction, which takes time and effort. And the bid usually comes in at less than the market value of the in-kind donation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacob Harold, the president of GuideStar, which tracks nonprofits, says when companies claim an in-kind donation is worth the full sticker price, it can create a false impression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you are saying, 'We gave $5 million away over the last few years,' and that's at market prices,\" says Harold, \"that's actually somewhat misleading.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A Controversial Source for the $5 Million Estimate\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>So how does the total charitable giving of Trump's golf club stack up? NPR was able to verify only about $800,000 in charitable gifts, even treating in-kind donations at full market value.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the Trump Organization did not respond, NPR could not ask how the club reached the $5 million figure listed on its website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's possible the club was including a sometimes controversial federal tax break: conservation easements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January 2015, Trump made an agreement with the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy to set aside the golf course's 11.5-acre driving range as environmentally valuable open space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"XzZs3sMTB9Fc5FpydKa5CTq40Kp5g1Vy\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The easement protects the land and prohibits harmful uses on the property such as dumping, landfill, and also has restrictions on waste and impermeable surfacing among many other items,\" said a \u003ca href=\"http://pvplc.org/_news/docs/releases/TrumpConEasementEDNoQuote.pdf\">press release\u003c/a> from the land conservancy. \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailybreeze.com/environment-and-nature/20150115/donald-trump-turns-over-115-acre-easement-in-rancho-palos-verdes-for-open-space\">Trump said\u003c/a> the easement represented a significant gift, because the land was worth \"much more than $25 million,\" and he could get a windfall if he built and sold houses on that property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/review-finds-trumps-charity-donations-modest/\">as The Associated Press has reported\u003c/a>, it's unclear whether Trump ever had concrete plans to build houses on the property. City officials also told NPR that Trump faced significant barriers to building because of the area's geological instability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conservation easements can help protect the environment and can also offer valuable tax breaks for companies, especially golf courses. They've also come under \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trumps-land-donations-put-him-in-line-for-conservation-tax-breaks-1457656717\">increased scrutiny from the Internal Revenue Service.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's California golf course before and after the agreement looks the same. The driving range is still a driving range.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The smell test isn't great in that case,\" Harold, of GuideStar, said. Claiming a charitable donation for preserving a driving range as open space \"doesn't feel like a sacrifice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear what, if any, deductions Trump or the Trump Organization claimed from the easement agreement. The land conservancy itself says it does not assign dollar values to the land.

In an email, a Navy official told NPR, \"We have no information about whether or how this specific gift was given to the Navy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a handful of organizations in the Rancho Palos Verdes area do report receiving \"generous\" cash contributions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One example comes from John Williams. A former Kiwanis Club president, Williams now runs the Peninsula Symphony, a small orchestra that performs free concerts. He says Trump helped support the Kiwanis Club's Palos Verdes Marathon from 2005 to 2007, with three donations of $15,000 each, and has supported the symphony through in-kind donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would have to say he's been a very good community supporter,\" Williams said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>In-kind Donations\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>NPR's other key finding was that overwhelmingly, charitable giving by Trump National involved gift certificates, such as the \"Sunday brunch for two\" or \"twosome for golf\" (worth approximately $600).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Washington Post\u003c/em> has \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/a-portrait-of-trump-the-donor-free-rounds-of-golf-but-no-personal-cash/2016/04/10/373b9b92-fb40-11e5-9140-e61d062438bb_story.html?utm_term=.fe3ad4ea93f4\">documented\u003c/a> that Trump properties around the country also prefer this type of donation.

It may just be marketing his business.'\u003ccite>Daniel Borochoff, CharityWatch\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Judith Opdahl, the executive director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cancersupportredondobeach.org/\">Cancer Support Community Redondo Beach\u003c/a>, did not offer specific dollar amounts but says the Trump Organization has been \"very philanthropic\" by providing discounted event space and in-kind donations for charity auctions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniel Borochoff, of the charity watchdog CharityWatch, says many companies use in-kind donations as a way to promote their business and build goodwill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the public or potential customers have good feelings towards the business, they're more likely to play golf there or shop there,\" Borochoff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he is skeptical about the value of such philanthropy, noting that such donations help build the Trump brand and bring in new customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It may not be altruism,\" Borochoff said. \"It may just be marketing his business.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Borochoff says another reason companies offer in-kind donations is that such gifts rarely cost the company much money. They also frequently come with strings attached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cui.edu/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=S1iocEalHjA%3D&portalid=0&language=en-US\">charity event held by Concordia University, Irvine\u003c/a> auctioned a \"twosome of Golf\" at the Trump golf club. But the gift certificate was valid only Mondays through Thursdays and expired within six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cases, experts say, cash donations are also much more valuable to a charity than in-kind donations. To turn a gift certificate into cash, a charity typically must hold an auction, which takes time and effort. And the bid usually comes in at less than the market value of the in-kind donation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacob Harold, the president of GuideStar, which tracks nonprofits, says when companies claim an in-kind donation is worth the full sticker price, it can create a false impression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you are saying, 'We gave $5 million away over the last few years,' and that's at market prices,\" says Harold, \"that's actually somewhat misleading.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A Controversial Source for the $5 Million Estimate\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>So how does the total charitable giving of Trump's golf club stack up? NPR was able to verify only about $800,000 in charitable gifts, even treating in-kind donations at full market value.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the Trump Organization did not respond, NPR could not ask how the club reached the $5 million figure listed on its website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's possible the club was including a sometimes controversial federal tax break: conservation easements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January 2015, Trump made an agreement with the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy to set aside the golf course's 11.5-acre driving range as environmentally valuable open space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The easement protects the land and prohibits harmful uses on the property such as dumping, landfill, and also has restrictions on waste and impermeable surfacing among many other items,\" said a \u003ca href=\"http://pvplc.org/_news/docs/releases/TrumpConEasementEDNoQuote.pdf\">press release\u003c/a> from the land conservancy. \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailybreeze.com/environment-and-nature/20150115/donald-trump-turns-over-115-acre-easement-in-rancho-palos-verdes-for-open-space\">Trump said\u003c/a> the easement represented a significant gift, because the land was worth \"much more than $25 million,\" and he could get a windfall if he built and sold houses on that property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/review-finds-trumps-charity-donations-modest/\">as The Associated Press has reported\u003c/a>, it's unclear whether Trump ever had concrete plans to build houses on the property. City officials also told NPR that Trump faced significant barriers to building because of the area's geological instability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conservation easements can help protect the environment and can also offer valuable tax breaks for companies, especially golf courses. They've also come under \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trumps-land-donations-put-him-in-line-for-conservation-tax-breaks-1457656717\">increased scrutiny from the Internal Revenue Service.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's California golf course before and after the agreement looks the same. The driving range is still a driving range.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The smell test isn't great in that case,\" Harold, of GuideStar, said. Claiming a charitable donation for preserving a driving range as open space \"doesn't feel like a sacrifice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear what, if any, deductions Trump or the Trump Organization claimed from the easement agreement. The land conservancy itself says it does not assign dollar values to the land. So that may be a question only Trump's tax returns can answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has not released those.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>If your organization has received a donation from Trump National Golf Club, Los Angeles, or if you believe your organization was wrongly included on the golf club's website, please let us know.

Over the next few weeks the Berkeley High junior will be teaching web design and other computer skills to orphans in Cambodia. The classes are part of KhodeUp, which is entirely Horn’s creation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While organizing such an ambitious project is a tall order for a busy high-school student, Horn has risen to the challenge. At the time of writing, KhodeUp’s crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo has raised 97% of its $15,000 goal in under a month, the initiative won $1,000 at the Thiel Summit’s first under-18 pitch competition, and, last week, it was featured on Tech Crunch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t get a lot of sleep anyways,” said Horn, talking about the challenge of creating and running a major overseas educational program while balancing the everyday priorities of high school. “It is hard, but it’s definitely worth it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"I did this because I know people there who have so much potential and can do so much and aren't having the opportunities to do that.\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>According to its website, KhodeUp seeks to empower “Cambodia’s future generations through web development and graphic design education.” Over four weeks, KhodeUp aims to teach HTML, CSS, the basics of JavaScript, and some additional design skills, to 20 to 40 kids at the Future Light Orphanage of Worldmate. The program will culminate in a final project that will simulate the process of putting a website together for a client.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THE BIRTH OF AN IDEA: A TRIP TO CAMBODIA\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Horn got the idea for KhodeUp on a trip to Cambodia. She had a conversation with a girl who would be going to school in the United States. The girl, Srey Art, wanted to study computer science, but she had no experience so she decided to major in business instead. Horn did some research and found that while Internet use in Cambodia is skyrocketing, people access the web primarily through mobile phones. Because desktop or laptop computers are necessary for coding, Cambodia has many potential consumers of online content but a small number of people capable of creating such content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Horn discovered that the going price for a website in Cambodia is $200 while the average monthly wage is $80. All this means that someone with the right skills could easily earn two month’s wages in just a few days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_139190\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/ming.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-139190\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/ming-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Ming Horn, a junior at Berkleey High, and the founder and leader of KhodeUp.

She has been to Cambodia five times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve seen kids grow up and what I’ve found is that their greatest aspiration is to be a waiter at a hotel and that kind of bothers me,” Horn said. She hopes that even if her students don’t become web designers, they will at least gain skills that will help them in achieve success in whatever fields they enter. “They want knowledge so badly,” said Horn of her students, “and you’re like, well, I guess I can give you that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year is the pilot year for the project. There will be a focus on evaluating what works, with an eye on the future. But Horn hopes to continue KhodeUp’s work long after the initial program is over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m hoping to give them the basics and then, once I leave, I’ll be able to give them continued support. I just won’t be there,” Horn said, “I want them to be able to go on in the future, start their own web design business with each other if they want to or pursue other opportunities that they find.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another important factor was Horn’s own passion for computer science. She is a self-described tech addict. She started programming in first grade with the educational tool Scratch. Over the years she was drawn toward designing and building websites.

Over the next few weeks the Berkeley High junior will be teaching web design and other computer skills to orphans in Cambodia. The classes are part of KhodeUp, which is entirely Horn’s creation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While organizing such an ambitious project is a tall order for a busy high-school student, Horn has risen to the challenge. At the time of writing, KhodeUp’s crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo has raised 97% of its $15,000 goal in under a month, the initiative won $1,000 at the Thiel Summit’s first under-18 pitch competition, and, last week, it was featured on Tech Crunch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t get a lot of sleep anyways,” said Horn, talking about the challenge of creating and running a major overseas educational program while balancing the everyday priorities of high school. “It is hard, but it’s definitely worth it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"I did this because I know people there who have so much potential and can do so much and aren't having the opportunities to do that.\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>According to its website, KhodeUp seeks to empower “Cambodia’s future generations through web development and graphic design education.” Over four weeks, KhodeUp aims to teach HTML, CSS, the basics of JavaScript, and some additional design skills, to 20 to 40 kids at the Future Light Orphanage of Worldmate.

She had a conversation with a girl who would be going to school in the United States. The girl, Srey Art, wanted to study computer science, but she had no experience so she decided to major in business instead. Horn did some research and found that while Internet use in Cambodia is skyrocketing, people access the web primarily through mobile phones. Because desktop or laptop computers are necessary for coding, Cambodia has many potential consumers of online content but a small number of people capable of creating such content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Horn discovered that the going price for a website in Cambodia is $200 while the average monthly wage is $80. All this means that someone with the right skills could easily earn two month’s wages in just a few days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_139190\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/ming.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-139190\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/06/ming-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Ming Horn, a junior at Berkleey High, and the founder and leader of KhodeUp.

She has been to Cambodia five times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve seen kids grow up and what I’ve found is that their greatest aspiration is to be a waiter at a hotel and that kind of bothers me,” Horn said. She hopes that even if her students don’t become web designers, they will at least gain skills that will help them in achieve success in whatever fields they enter. “They want knowledge so badly,” said Horn of her students, “and you’re like, well, I guess I can give you that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year is the pilot year for the project. There will be a focus on evaluating what works, with an eye on the future. But Horn hopes to continue KhodeUp’s work long after the initial program is over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m hoping to give them the basics and then, once I leave, I’ll be able to give them continued support.

(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The weather may have warmed up and the holidays are in full swing, but for plenty of people in the Bay Area the outlook is grim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Food banks around the Bay Area continue to face shortfalls at a time of year when demand is also the highest. At Thanksgiving, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/26/119446/food-bank-donations-down\" target=\"_blank\">KQED reported on the drop in donations at regional food banks\u003c/a>. The recent cold snap sent more people looking for help and put a deeper freeze on an already sluggish holiday donation season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The holiday saga continues,\" said Kathy Jackson, CEO of \u003ca href=\"http://www.shfb.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Second Harvest Food Bank\u003c/a> of Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. Inventory, she said, is at an all-time low. The food bank currently has less than two weeks of inventory on hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second Harvest has raised just one-quarter of the $13.2 million it aims to bring in during its holiday campaign. Nearly half of the money raised for the year typically comes in during the holidays, so low holiday donations can mean thin budgets the rest of the year. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.sffoodbank.org/\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco and Marin Food Banks\u003c/a> are also still $500,000 short for what they usually expect at this time of year, said Paul Ash, executive director. That's down from about a $900,000 shortfall at the end of October — good news, he said, but still not good enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem is that with the economy rebounding for some, most people think there isn't as much of a need for food banks or shelter services. But that perception is wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The economy is contributing to people thinking, 'Well, everyone must have a job now, maybe I don't need to give to the food bank,' and that probably applies to other services,\" Ash said. \"That's just not what we're seeing. Our lines at the pantries and the number of people we're serving are just as high as they were a year ago.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have more food going out the door than coming in the door,\" Jackson said. \"It's the disconnect,\" she said: If need and donations both went down or both went up, it'd be easier to deal with. But, with donations down and need remaining high, it's causing concern among the food banks and service providers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, cuts to federally funded food-assistance programs that went into effect on Nov. 1 have also driven more people to food banks just to make ends meet. The cuts, said Ash, averaged about $30-$40 per family. That may not seem like a lot if you have enough money to pay all your bills, but some San Francisco Food Bank clients said it was the difference between buying milk for the month or not. And, the cuts often drive down the quality of food the family can afford with their food stamps, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_120647\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 384px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/12/RS7934_freezing_temps_10dec2013_0267_web.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-120647 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/12/RS7934_freezing_temps_10dec2013_0267_web-640x426.jpg\" alt=\"Nyla Bonner, 2, enjoys a free meal with her mother Chelan Cassidy at U.N.

When budgets are tapped for higher heating bills, people will have less money for food and will need assistance even more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson said the freezing weather of the past couple of weeks may cut the volume of surplus crops that Second Harvest and other food banks depend on. Jackson said that food is usually available for \"pennies on the pound.\" Without it, they'll have to buy canned produce to replace it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the food banks struggle to deal with the decreasing supply and increasing demand, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/12/10/as-the-cold-continues-shelters-work-to-bring-warmth/\" target=\"_blank\">shelters have rushed to open their doors during the cold\u003c/a>. San Francisco initiated a \"cold snap procedure,\" which instructs city shelters to let people into any empty beds after 8 p.m. when the temperature is below 40 degrees. The city has 1,150 emergency shelter beds, which includes some winter-only beds, and about 3,500 homeless people on the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While most counties in the Bay Area have emergency winter shelters, it's rare for the weather to become dangerously cold. The recent cold temperatures made life tough for people on the streets. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/12/12/homeless-san-franciscans-cope-with-cold-weather\" target=\"_blank\">A KQED report on living homeless and cold in San Francisco\u003c/a> started a discussion among our readers about what can be done and how people can help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's never too late to make a donation. They can do it right up until the champagne pops on New Year's Eve,\" Ash said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below are a few resources for food donations, shelters and medical and social services.

(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The weather may have warmed up and the holidays are in full swing, but for plenty of people in the Bay Area the outlook is grim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Food banks around the Bay Area continue to face shortfalls at a time of year when demand is also the highest. At Thanksgiving, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/26/119446/food-bank-donations-down\" target=\"_blank\">KQED reported on the drop in donations at regional food banks\u003c/a>. The recent cold snap sent more people looking for help and put a deeper freeze on an already sluggish holiday donation season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The holiday saga continues,\" said Kathy Jackson, CEO of \u003ca href=\"http://www.shfb.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Second Harvest Food Bank\u003c/a> of Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. Inventory, she said, is at an all-time low. The food bank currently has less than two weeks of inventory on hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second Harvest has raised just one-quarter of the $13.2 million it aims to bring in during its holiday campaign. Nearly half of the money raised for the year typically comes in during the holidays, so low holiday donations can mean thin budgets the rest of the year. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.sffoodbank.org/\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco and Marin Food Banks\u003c/a> are also still $500,000 short for what they usually expect at this time of year, said Paul Ash, executive director. That's down from about a $900,000 shortfall at the end of October — good news, he said, but still not good enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem is that with the economy rebounding for some, most people think there isn't as much of a need for food banks or shelter services. But that perception is wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The economy is contributing to people thinking, 'Well, everyone must have a job now, maybe I don't need to give to the food bank,' and that probably applies to other services,\" Ash said. \"That's just not what we're seeing. Our lines at the pantries and the number of people we're serving are just as high as they were a year ago.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have more food going out the door than coming in the door,\" Jackson said. \"It's the disconnect,\" she said: If need and donations both went down or both went up, it'd be easier to deal with. But, with donations down and need remaining high, it's causing concern among the food banks and service providers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, cuts to federally funded food-assistance programs that went into effect on Nov. 1 have also driven more people to food banks just to make ends meet. The cuts, said Ash, averaged about $30-$40 per family. That may not seem like a lot if you have enough money to pay all your bills, but some San Francisco Food Bank clients said it was the difference between buying milk for the month or not. And, the cuts often drive down the quality of food the family can afford with their food stamps, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_120647\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 384px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/12/RS7934_freezing_temps_10dec2013_0267_web.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-120647 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/12/RS7934_freezing_temps_10dec2013_0267_web-640x426.jpg\" alt=\"Nyla Bonner, 2, enjoys a free meal with her mother Chelan Cassidy at U.N.
