Dear Friends,

his has been an extraordinary year for the Food Bank. In this annual report, we share with you both the Tdramatic increase in need that we’re seeing in every part of the state and the remarkable response to this need from our community—a community of caring individuals and loyal supporters, like you.

In October 2009, the Under Secretary of the Department of Agriculture, Kevin Concannon, visited the Food Bank to see our programs firsthand. Mr. Concannon said, “This is the most urgent time for our feeding programs in our history, with the exception of the Depression. It’s time for us to face up to the fact that in this country of plenty, there are hungry people.”

While we are doing everything possible to meet the current record demand for food assistance in the midst of an economic recession that has left thousands of Rhode Island families in financial crisis, we also have to plan for the future. The Board of Directors of the Food Bank confronted this challenge in our new Strategic Plan. In setting goals and objectives for the next three years, we kept certain principles in mind:

Community: The Food Bank is only successful because of broad public support and a vibrant network of Member Agencies.

Quality: The Food Bank has to feed people well as good nutrition is critical to good health. We strive to offer the most nutritious food possible to those in need.

Sustainability: The crucial work of the Food Bank will continue for decades to come. Going forward, we have to operate as efficiently as possible and build on-going support for all of our programs.

Fortunately, the Food Bank continues to attract talented staff members, committed Board Members, dedicated volunteers and generous donors of both food and funds. We are united with a strong network of community-based organizations that feed the hungry every day of the year. What brings us together is the mission of the Food Bank: ensuring that no one in Rhode Island goes hungry. And these days, it’s more important than ever that we live up to that mission. Thank you for everything that you do to make our work possible.

Sincerely,

Fr. Frank Sevola Andrew Schiff President, Board of Directors Chief Executive Officer

or more than 10 years, Ocean State Job Lot has been a major partner of the Food Bank, growing to become our largest FRhode Island-based food donor. As the company expanded, the size of its do- nations increased significantly as well. Business entrepreneurs Alan and Marc Perlman opened the first Ocean State Job Lot in North Kingstown in 1977 and currently have more than 90 stores in seven states. The Perlmans work diligently to involve their staff and customers in giving back to the community. Each holiday season, Job Lot customers are asked to donate to local food banks as they check out. Ocean State Job Lot matches all funds collected, up to a total of $100,000, and uses the money to purchase nutritious food at cost for donation. Job Lot also takes a leadership role in the Food Bank’s Summer Food Drive, donating truckloads of food and chal- lenging other local businesses to do the same. The company donated more than 663,000 pounds of food for hungry Rhode Islanders last year! “These challenging economic times have pushed thousands of families who were already struggling to make ends meet, over the edge,” said Alan Perlman, Founder and Owner of Job Lot. “With more people seeking assistance, we have the responsibility, and opportunity, to make a real difference in people’s lives.”

or Gene Martin, it all started with a Bruce Springsteen concert. In fact, he remembers the exact date—January 25, 1985. “Bruce was probably the biggest rock Fstar in the world at the time so it was quite a thrill for me to attend,” recalls Gene. “About mid-way through his show, Bruce paused and spoke about the number of people who go hungry each night and that we all could do a little bit to help.” Springsteen explained that he had invited volunteers from the Rhode Island Community Food Bank to set up stations in the lobby and asked everyone to contribute whatever change was in their pockets on the way out. “The things Bruce said about the hungry and the homeless left an impression on me,” says Gene. “I gave the volunteers from the Food Bank $20, which was about all the money I had at the time. Over the years, I have made it a point to give to food banks.

oug Johnson has worn many hats during his involvement with the Food Bank. Beginning as a donor and volunteer, he later joined the Food Bank’s Board of Directors and ultimately served Das its President. The President of Heritage Consulting Group in East Providence, Doug holds the core value of helping others as a high priority, one that is shared equally by his wife Shirley. “I feel that we have been blessed and have an opportuni- ty to help others,” states Shirley. The Johnsons, particularly during this time of economic uncertainty, are acutely aware that it doesn’t take much to send a family to a food pantry line. To help those in need, the Food Bank needs support in all shapes and sizes; something that Shirley Johnson be- lieves makes it easier to get involved. “Everyone should be encouraged to give what they can. No one person can fulfill the needs of our community. It takes the work of many.” Doug identifies the Food Bank’s work to provide one of More than 50,000 Rhode Islanders our community’s most basic needs as a major strength. “The Food Bank is a catalyst to bring people together for a common turn to emergency food programs cause—to help others. It could happen to any one of us.” for help each month.

n O U R W O R K Change for Good

While working diligently to alleviate hunger in our state, the Food Bank remains a vigorous voice, and advocate for the less fortunate.

An Active Voice Women Ending Hunger is a volunteer group of the Food Bank that works to support long-term solutions to the problem of hunger. This initiative brings together a diverse group of concerned women who commit their time, talent and resources to advocate for change. Last year, these volunteers helped inter- view food pantry clients and gather data as part of the Food Bank’s participation in Feeding America’s Hunger in America 2010 study. They also continued advocacy around improving child- hood nutrition and school meal programs at both the state and national level.

Informing our Community The prevalence of hunger in Rhode Island has reached its highest level in ten years. To keep the public informed, the Food Bank produced its third annual Status Report on Hunger in Rhode Island. The report, which is available on our website, examined the impact of the recession on food insecurity and hunger, the soaring demand for food assistance and the 12 A n n u a limpor R e ptance o r t of 2 0good 0 9 ● nutrition R I C o mfor m long-term u n i t y food health. bank ri c o m m u n i ty food bank ● A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 0 9 13 Individual Donors July 1, 2008—June 30, 2009

In partnership with our Member Agencies, as well as government and community leaders, we build the public will to ensure that no one in Rhode Island goes hungry. We envision a day when everyone in Rhode Island has access to nutritious food through an efficient and sustainable acquisition and distribution network.

O u r W o rk Since 1982, the Rhode Island Community Food Bank has solicited, stored and distributed surplus food and grocery products to qualified member agency programs that provide food to Rhode Island’s hungry. Millions of pounds of donated food and nonfood household products are distributed into the community through our network of 310 member agency food programs in Rhode Island. G R W i t i n :
