It is impossible to imagine serving more people Food Bank in the coming year without much more support from the community.

Currently, many working families are not earning enough to make ends meet, even with the government assistance they receive. If benefits like thousand SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and LIHEAP (the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program) are slashed, our clients will rely on us even more to put food on the table.

And for us to succeed, we will ask for your continued commitment. We need you to ensure that we can acquire and distribute more than 9.5 million pounds of healthy, nutritious food each year for the children, 2007 2017 adults and seniors that we serve.

We expect difficult times ahead, but we know that our dear friends and allies will continue to help make our work possible. Thank you for continuing to support the Rhode Island Community Food Bank.

6 ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Getting Food In and Out The Food Bank distributed 9.5 million pounds of food through its network of member agencies.

We acquire this supply from a variety of sources including the food industry – growers, retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers as well as donations from individuals and businesses in the community. (See pie chart for details)

Still, donated food is not enough to meet the high demand and the Food Bank must purchase one-third (33%) of the food that we distribute. One advantage of buying food ourselves is that we can select healthy, nutritious foods that are often not found in the donation stream.

The Food Bank is committed to providing It’s our priority to ensure that the healthy food and 88% of what we distribute 155 member agencies in our network is considered “core” food because it can be receive the food they need to serve used to prepare a nutritious meal. Examples their guests. They are able to order of core foods include brown rice, cereal, their food through our convenient fresh and canned fruits and vegetables, online shopping system and nearly pastas and sauce, canned soups and stews, 70% of this food is delivered by our peanut butter and tuna. fleet of eight vehicles.

FRESH PRODUCE FOR ALL

At the Food Bank, we’re committed to making fresh produce available to guests at our food pantries and meal sites. We work closely with local farms and national distributors for opportunities to acquire more fruits and vegetables at a low cost.

Last year, the Food Bank distributed 2,300,000 pounds of fresh produce. That’s 23% of all food distributed. We acquire 1,707,360 pounds from distributors while local farm businesses contribute 372,603 pounds of fresh produce.

We’re also fortunate to reap the benefits of four volunteer-run communi- ty farms that produced 60,000 pounds of fresh, local produce last year. Many of them deliver this food directly to pantries and meal sites while others get it to the Food Bank so we can distribute it throughout the state.

It’s a lot of work and some dirty hands but it helps ensure that everyone has access to fresh produce.

“Centers like this should have more help so they can help more people in need like me.”

Andrelisa came to Providence with her daughter to start fresh after her marriage ended. Her cousin had a place where she could stay until she could manage to support herself.

Two years later, she still struggles to find a way to make ends meet. At for- ty-three, she is a single mom caring for a twelve-year old daughter living on the unpredictable income she earns as a hair stylist.

She says, “I don’t make that much money, but it’s enough so that I can’t qualify for assistance. And raising a young daughter on my own is very expensive.”

As Jailine Ortiz, Food Pantry Coordinator explains, “Everyone receives emergency food assistance the first time they come to the pantry. Then we look at their income and family size to determine how often they can visit and how much food they can receive.”

10 ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Inspired by Faith

Edwin and Margaret Boger embody the word philanthropy — a love of mankind. As youngsters growing up, caring for others was instilled in them through their involvement at church.

“We were taught to have care and concern about the homeless the hungry, widows, orphans,” said Margaret. “That basic belief led us to feel we have a responsibility to those who are less fortunate. We try to do what God would want us to do.”

Married for 56 years, Edwin and Margaret have spent a lifetime in the service of others. He was a biology professor, and she was a nurse. Both are now retired. They first got involved through a meal site in Providence that was supplied by the Food Bank, helping out every Saturday to prepare food for the guests. Margaret is more of a people person, so she was out front getting to know the clients, while Edwin was back in the kitchen stirring the giant pots of soup.
