Parkland Food Bank

Annual Report 2016 Community helping community to make healthy food accessible From the Board Chair

2016 has come to a close and the need for the Parkland Food Bank has never been greater. Our client numbers are up dramatically year over year. In fact, we are serving double the number of people today than we did just a short 2 years ago. This speaks volumes about the current economic climate we find ourselves in. As depressing as the economic situation is, we are buoyed by the support we have received from the community. Donations, financial and food, have kept pace to meet the demand. We have received wonderful support from businesses and community organizations as they continue to step forward to help. Our orchard sponsorship program has begun to bear fruit with several businesses stepping forward to offer ongoing, multi-year support. This support we have received and the expansion we have undergone in 2015 have allowed us to increase the number of days and hours we are open to support clients and to add an additional staff member to support our amazing volunteers. While we had hoped that we had reached the peak in client need last year, 2017 does not show signs of slowing. However, with an amazing staff, incredible volunteer base and supportive communities in the Parkland region, we will continue to strive to end hunger in our community. Sincerely Craig Curran-Morton From the Executive Director

2016 has been an amazing year of both challenges and opportunities! We have certainly made great use of our expansion that was completed in 2015 and have been unendingly grateful for the extra capacity as we continue to break records both for clients fed and food donated to us by our amazing community supporters. As we move into 2017 we are preparing to take the next steps to increase our capacity once again to meet our growing communities needs in the coming years. We will be:  Completing the second story to our warehouse addition to increase our storage space and create an office for our Warehouse Supervisor. This addition will give us the ability to put in a proper staircase to access our second story as well as a conveyor system to move product between floors safely.  Re-grading and expanding our parking lot for clients and volunteers.  Upgrade carts and pallets in the warehouse. I am just so very thankful to our supporters and volunteers who continually give so much of themselves. Parkland Food Bank is simply a reflection of the amazing heart of our community, and we wouldn’t exist without our donors. I would also like to pass on a great big thank you from our clients, who are grateful to know that whatever is going on in their lives, they don’t face their hard times alone. There are many, many individuals and businesses that are helping them out when they need a little hand up! Blessing to you all, Sheri Ratsoy 2016 Board of Directors Craig Curran-Morton Jennifer Brunet Kai Shuler Brett Esslinger Gabrielle Seymour Bill Kelly Laura Nelubowich Sonia Kochansky Dianne Lukey Stephen Webber Snap Shot
