Chester County Food Bank ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012 DOING MORE | A Message from our Board Chairman As we reflect on the past year, it becomes obvious that we are making tremendous strides in alleviating hunger in our communities. All of our “numbers” are up. We distributed more than 1.7 million pounds of food and greatly increased the fresh food that we grew and purchased at auction to over 500,000 pounds. We are providing food to more food cupboards and meal sites than ever before. Our Raised Bed Gardens are now over 400 and in 22 schools and we were able to double the participants in our Food Backpack program to 903 students. But we are more than numbers. Each area of growth represents more families who no longer have to struggle with hunger… more children who can enjoy their childhood free from strife. Thanks to our friends in the community, we are able to do more. Our corporate sponsors have re- sponded to our needs with donations, food drives, and volunteers. The support of our donors has allowed us to expand our programs, add a full-time food manager, second driver, and community outreach person. This growth has been possible as a result of a dedicated Board, strong management, a caring community, and an ever increasing support of volunteers. Many, many thanks to all! Robert McNeil Board Chairman WORKING TOGETHER | A Message from our Executive Director The Chester County Food Bank moves into its fourth year of operation continuing its dedication to finding new ways to meet the needs of the thousands we serve. We have built broad partnerships with community organizations that manage a host of grass-roots solutions: a growing and gleaning program harvesting fresh food from local farms; a school cafeteria coalition dedicated to helping provide our children with the healthiest food possible; summer and year-round youth programs educating youth in gardening, cooking and nutrition; and a Raised Bed Garden program integrated with state education standards that offers free gardens to schools, businesses and organizations who will raise food for our food pantries. We have established a coalition including four Chester County school districts and the Department of Parks & Recreation to create a sustainable system of providing healthy food to county residents and to become a catalyst for a systemic change. Our goals of improving the food we provide to those in need, increasing the access to that food and mobilizing county residents and county-wide participants to address the social problem of food insecurity and hunger, will only be accomplished by working together. Larry Welsch Executive Director DOING MORE TO FEED THE HUNGRY This year, more than ever before, the Chester County Food Bank provided nutritious food to hungry men, women and children throughout our county. We are proud of the fact that we are recognized as an organization that offers proactive, innovative solutions to the problems of hunger in our county. Thanks to generous support from our 1,800 volunteers and many others in our community who work to reduce hunger in our county, we distributed over 1.7 million pounds of food this past year - a 78% increase over the amount of food we provided only two years ago! The past year has been one of continuing growth in numbers, service and impact on our community. 432,763 90 Pounds of food grown locally and distributed Number of cupboards and meal sites served 78% increase 14% increase 32,508 462 Number of backpacks supplied Number of raised bed gardens 73% increase 69% increase 903 42 Number of school children receiving Number of schools with raised bed gardens weekly backpacks with food 83% increase 56% increase 84,954 Pounds of dairy products distributed 79% increase NUTRITION EDUCATION Helping youth make better nutritional choices In Spring 2012 we piloted a new initiative, our Nutrition Education program, at the Great Valley School District. This program emphasizes helping youth make better nutritional choices to foster lifelong healthy lifestyles. The Food Bank builds high tunnels at schools that will enable them to grow food for their cafeteria year-round, and provides lesson plans and materials for teachers to use with students that incorporate how to grow, harvest, and prepare nutritious food as part of an integrated STEM curricula. We plan to expand this innovative and exciting program to other county school districts in the coming year.
