But the way we do it has. Fulfilling our mission means constantlyimprovingand evolving to meet new demands and better serve New yorkers. our work in 2013 set the stage for even deeper innovation going forward. When Hurricane Sandy struck in late 2012, it made clear the devastating impact of poverty in the face of natural disaster. recovery will take time. But we will be here for Sandy survivors for as long as necessary—just as we will continue to be herefor aLLofourneighborsinneed . Food Bank's network of 1,000 charities and schools has come together with our many partners to make sure that nonewyorkerisleftbehind . our strategic approach keeps moving forward in order to meet that goal. We laid the groundwork during Sandy, coming up with solutions tHeN that enabled us to have a greater impact NoW. For example, we built groundbreakingnewpartnerships and better leveraged existing ones that continue to benefit the 1.5 million New yorkers we serve. We widened the reach of our free income tax assistance program and ended up netting New yorkers $81millionintaxrefunds in 2013. We provided $1.4millionindisastergrantstomember charities , increasing their capacity to serve their communities long after the storm. We used who we were to be what our city needed. as devastating as it was, Sandy served as a valuable teacher— a dress rehearsal for another attack on our city that was just around the corner. as we closed out Fiscal year 2013, a second disaster—this one man-made—was looming. Massive cuts to SNaP (food stamps) were being touted as an essential part of the Farm Bill, but we knew better. We knew that the loss of desperately- needed benefits would knock the wind out of 47 million americans—1.9 million of whom call our city home. So we moved forward again, this time with a massiveadvocacypush , bolstered by partnerships that stretched citywide, to stop the cuts and stem the tide of increased hunger. We’re far from done. this new crisis is now upon us, but we are prepared because of all that we learned in 2013. as the largest Food Bank in the country, we provide foodandservicesresponsiblefor72.5millionmealsayear . When a crisis hits, we’re called upon to do even more. everything we've accomplished on behalf of those we serve—not just this year, but every year—has been possible only because of supporters and partners like you. it is your commitment and involvement that propels us forward and enables our mission to remain in motion.

Within weeks, the folks from toyota had completely overhauled the way Metro World Child packed and distributed boxes of food, making the process faster and residents’ wait time on line shorter. little changes, like using an assembly line and switching to smaller boxes, made a big difference in efficiency. the entire experience was captured in a video, “Meals Per Hour,” that received one million views online and led to support from toyota worth one million meals. Now we’re leveraging team Kaizen network-wide to truly maximize toyota’s donation of expertise. r e “ thetoyotateamwasfantastic.theirprioritywas “ wehavefoundourlong-standingrelationship D u o tohelpusservefamiliesinthemostefficient withFoodBankFornewyorkCitytobe r B e manner. and Food Bank was a key asset; they extremelyrewarding since their mission fits N i r e did so much more than provide food. they perfectly with BNy Mellon’s philanthropic focus H t a connected us with new methods and resources of helping people with basic needs, such as food C y r that will serve us going forward.” and shelter.
