Dear Food Bank Friends, We forged a new partnership to bring fresh milk to hungry families. We cultivated relationships with local As we look back at Fiscal Year 2013, we have made farmers to provide more produce to our neighbors in many advances toward our vision that no one goes need. We expanded our Retail Recovery Program to hungry in northern Illinois. Through tried-and-true partner food pantries with local retailers to give new programs and new initiatives, we’ve provided more food life to nourishing food destined for a landfill. We hosted to our hungry neighbors than ever before. 300 community meetings at our West Suburban Center, introducing thousands of people to our mission and the Our network of local food pantries and feeding need for food assistance in our community. programs is 800 strong and is committed to being a source of help and hope for families in need.

We opened a Bulk Processing Room that allows us to take in more donated high-quality foods our hungry neighbors are requesting – cereal, pasta, rice – and provides fresh opportunities for volunteers at Pete Schaefer our West Suburban Center.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS FOOD BANK 2013 ANNUAL REPORT WWW.SOLVEHUNGERTODAY.ORG 1 In our new “Clean Room,” volunteers scoop granola and other bulk donations into bags, creating portions appropriate for individual or family use. This technological advancement allows the food bank to more efficiently provide the items most requested by our hungry neighbors.

2 NORTHERN ILLINOIS FOOD BANK 2013 ANNUAL REPORT WWW.SOLVEHUNGERTODAY.ORG BULK REPACK PROGRAM GENEROUS DONATIONS

Thanks to space and new equipment in our now two-year-old West Suburban Center in Geneva, we were able to provide more than 250,000 pounds of quality cereal, pasta and rice to our pantries and feeding programs this year. These are nourishing food donations that we would have had no choice but to pass up before our Bulk Processing or “Clean Room” was equipped in October 2012, thanks to a generous donation from The Grainger Foundation.

Today, volunteers don hairnets, gloves and lab coats to enter the temperature and air-quality controlled room where 800-pound totes of loose granola, corn flakes, whole wheat pasta and rice are turned into one- to two-pound bags for individual or family consumption. These are some of the most requested items on our shopping list.

The donations may come to the food bank because of overruns or due to a nearing use-by date. Many times the bulk product is merely a component of the final product, for example, granola to be packaged with other cereal.

Of course, even with our new space, we wouldn’t be able to accept these donations without our dedicated volunteers. Last year, more than 14,000 different individuals donated in total 105,000 hours of their time to help us with packing food, performing office tasks, providing specialized expertise and sitting on special event committees.

Their assistance in our bulk processing room has allowed us to provide more quality foods to our hungry neighbors. With continued donations, Bulk Room processing provides the food bank the possibility of savings through fewer purchases of cereal and grains, and a great opportunity to feed more hungry neighbors.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS FOOD BANK 2013 ANNUAL REPORT WWW.SOLVEHUNGERTODAY.ORG 3 RETAIL RECOVERY PROGRAM DIRECT CONNECTIONS

Every day, retailers across northern Illinois restock shelves. Off come this morning’s bakery items to make room for the latest batch, bananas turning yellow, deli items and meat reaching the sell-by date. Thanks to our Retail Recovery Program, this still perfectly nutritious food finds a new home with our hungry neighbors.

While our food bank trucks have historically made twice weekly stops at more than 100 stores to collect and directly deliver these perishables to our partner feeding programs, there was an opportunity to do more. To increase the amount of quality food provided to our neighbors in need while helping our retail partners decrease store waste, this year the food bank established the Direct Connect Program. This program links our food pantries with local retailers so that on days when the food bank’s drivers are not scheduled to pick-up from the store, the food pantry does.

The result is more nutritious food for our hungry neighbors and less waste for our generous donors, as food is picked up when it’s still useful and often ends up on a hungry family’s table that same day. Making the connection between our food pantries and retailers also allows more food to reach people who need it without adding to the food bank’s transportation expenses.

“This program has been so great for our clients,” said Cate Williams, Crystal Lake Food Pantry president. “They receive food they may never buy, receive enough for the whole family and they are learning how to eat and use fresh produce.”

Food donations through the Retail Recovery and Direct Connect programs allowed us to provide 16.4 million meals across our service area.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS FOOD BANK 2013 ANNUAL REPORT WWW.SOLVEHUNGERTODAY.ORG 5 While milk is the top food source for calcium, Vitamin D, potassium, and six other essential nutrients that promote strong bones and teeth, the cost is often a barrier for our neighbors in need. Through the generosity of donors, we established a new Milk Program in FY13, providing 22,327 gallons of fresh milk to hungry neighbors.

6 NORTHERN ILLINOIS FOOD BANK 2013 ANNUAL REPORT WWW.SOLVEHUNGERTODAY.ORG FRESH MILK PROGRAM FORGING PARTNERSHIPS

While milk is a familiar item in many households, used in the morning coffee, mixed into mac and cheese for lunch, or poured at the nightly dinner table, for our hungry neighbors, this nutrient-rich beverage is a true luxury.

As one neighbor told us, “I can always get cereal at my local pantry, but I don’t often have milk for it.”

Cost is a barrier for both our hungry neighbors, and for the pantries that would like to provide milk to them. And, donations of milk are hard to come by because it’s heavily regulated and its shelf life is short.

Recognizing these challenges and the nutrition milk provides, we forged a partnership with Muller-Pinehurst Dairy, part of Prairie Farms Dairy, to obtain fresh gallons of 1 percent milk at a reduced price for our pantries. In addition to providing a stable price point, the food bank subsidizes a portion of the cost to make milk even more affordable for our partners. The generous support of donors including The Christopher Family Foundation, The Community Foundation of Northern Illinois and Gibbs-McCormick make the subsidy possible. Funding from the National Dairy Council provided three food pantries with refrigerators, enabling them to join the program.

The milk is delivered fresh from the dairy directly to participating pantries each week, so it is as fresh, or fresher, than what would be found in the store.

The initiative started as a pilot program in October 2012 with a grant from Forward DuPage and by the end of the fiscal year included 11 pantries distributing, in total, more than 5,000 gallons per month.

In FY13, 22,327 gallons of milk were provided through the program.

One in five kids in northern Illinois is at risk of hunger. It’s a rate that is consistent across our service area, from the state’s wealthiest counties to our rural communities.

We are committed to helping every child get the nutrition they need to grow and learn so they become all that they can be. A key strategy is making it easy for kids to obtain the food they need to thrive. From the Summer Meal Program to our afterschool feeding partners, from our BackPack Program to the opening of food pantries in schools so that busy moms and dads can conveniently access the food their families need, Northern Illinois Food Bank is addressing child hunger in our communities.

We recognize that many of our families are less aware of the nutritional value of the foods they eat, so we’re using school-based pantries to educate our neighbors on food options and ways of preparing less familiar foods. Northern Illinois University dietetic students and the Illinois Extension Office have partnered with us to provide recipes and samplings of meals made with items from the pantry. Nutrition information is highlighted on food pantry shelves. School menus are reviewed, and pantry shelves are stocked with items like whole grain pasta and brown rice to encourage families to try foods their children are being introduced to at school.

Through our Child Nutrition programs, we provided 1.9 million meals last year, and most importantly, provided thousands of kids with the nutrition that allows them to focus, play and thrive. 1.9M 1.9 MILLION MEALS PROVIDED TO KIDS

Children are one of the most vulnerable populations when it comes to being hungry. Through tried-and-true afterschool, Summer Meal, and Backpack Programs, and new initiatives, such as school-based pantries, Northern Illinois Food Bank is helping make it easy for students and their parents to access nutritious food in their time of need.
