When a child is fighting hunger pangs, or her mother is worrying about an empty cupboard, it’s impossible to think about anything else: school, work, or hope for the future. And the costs of missing meals are steep: failure in school, increased illness, missed days on the job. Here in Orange County, where housing costs are 356% above the national average, even hard-working families have trouble making ends meet. So one in nine of our families will go hungry this month. And one in six of our children. Which is why we need your help to reach our Bold Goal by 2021: No one in Orange County should go hungry. Ever. Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County l 35 Years of Working to End Hunger We turn despair into dreams. For thirty-five years, we have been helping those who need it most: vulnerable children, families, seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, women seeking shelter from domestic violence, and those without homes. In nearly a third of our neighborhoods, a single unexpected car repair or medical emergency can wipe out the grocery budget. In every neighborhood, the loss of a job can send a family plunging into poverty. Last year, we reached more than 250,000 of our neighbors every month. Most of them only need our help for a short while: Consider one local mother standing in line for a food pantry who decided to pitch in as a volunteer. Her increased confidence and experience organizing that pantry led to her dream of stable employment. We still see her every month, returning as a volunteer instead of a recipient. Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County l 35 Years of Working to End Hunger We turn worry into security. To feed everyone, we need help from a wide variety of donors who provide pantry staples and fresh food. Last year, 72.6% of the food we distributed was fresh produce or perishables. Our Grocery Rescue program provides 40% of all that food. We partner with 80% of grocery store chains in Orange County, including Albertsons/Vons/Pavilions, Aldi, Amazon Fresh, Big Lots, Costco Wholesale, Gelson’s, Grocery Outlet, Ralphs/Food 4 Less, Sprouts, Smart & Final, Target, Trader Joe’s, Walmart/Sam’s Club, and 99 Ranch Market. The innovativeStarbucks FoodShare program donates fresh food every day from 183 stores to feed the hungry within hours. As part of California Association of Food Banks’ Farm to Family program, we work with farmers, ranchers, packers, and shippers who donate vegetables, fruit, grains, dairy, eggs, and meat. These generous donations allow us to leverage our resources so we can feed even more people. Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County l 35 Years of Working to End Hunger into joy. We turn fear Nutritious food is critical to growing children and their futures, so we reach out to them in many innovative ways. First, we supply food to more than 200 community partners to distribute at their locations. This year we opened our third Permanent School Pantry, La Colonia Market. Located in underserved neighborhoods or schools, these mini-markets let people choose exactly what they need for their families. This year we served more than 6,000 people, 40% of them children. Our Mobile School Pantries, much like farmer’s markets, visited 30 schools and provided more than 1.6 million meals to more than 100,000 children, plus their families and neighborhood seniors. Next year, we hope to add 9 more. Teens who are in college still need our help to reach their goals, so we support four on-campus College Pantries that fed 23,000 students this year. Finally, our Kids Cafes provide nutrition information and healthy after-school meals to help kids learn in more than 50 locations, serving more than 2,500 meals every day. Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County l 35 Years of Working to End Hunger into dignity. We turn shame After working a lifetime, almost a quarter of our seniors cannot afford to eat every day of the month. This year we are taking food directly to where they live. We bring our innovative Park-It Market to 11 low-income apartment complexes and senior centers. The first in the country, Park-It Market is a custom-built refrigerated mini-market on wheels that lets seniors choose fresh groceries just steps from their doors. It provides otherwise unaffordable meat, dairy, eggs, vegetables, and fruits to maintain health and restore dignity. In addition, our Senior Grocery program provides fresh groceries at 37 locations twice each month—for the equivalent of 1.2 million meals. We hope to add 3 more locations next year, yet we still aren’t reaching all the fixed-income seniors who need our help.
