2014 Annual Report

A MESSAGE FROM MILT

Few things are more powerful than engaged community partners, laser focused on a single objective. And, when leadership demonstrates commitment and enthusiasm for that objective, you can create a movement that can solve many problems. Well, we have yet to completely solve hunger, but because of our incredible donors, public officials, board of directors, volunteers and staff, we made significant strides towards that objective in 2014.

Because of you, we had the most successful fourth quarter food drive season in our organization’s history. And, you found some incredibly creative ways in which to deliver, from superheroes scaling downtown buildings, to new beverage auctions, school concerts, contests, holiday open house functions, parties and much more. Our reclamation volunteers were happier to sort more barrels of food than ever, and they are ready to continue sorting your donations in the new year!

Also, with the help of engaged community health care partners, we developed the Healthy Choices Market – a kitchen, classroom and mini farmers market where we help educate diabetes clients on nutrition and offer free access to fresh produce. Most exciting about the Healthy Choices experience is not just the positive progress clients are experiencing, but cooking classes are being led by volunteer chefs from local organizations and restaurants!

We celebrated a successful inaugural luncheon where our guest speaker was a community favorite…Notre Dame All American Ruth Riley! Stretching nearly 6’5”, her stature pales in comparison to the heights this fully engaged and committed hunger advocate accomplishes on a daily basis by spreading the message and working to help end childhood hunger around the world!

Lastly, our strong mission partnerships and 165 pantry partners helped strategize, fund, sort and distribute 7,000,000 pounds of food to nearly one half million families in 2014. Words cannot express our gratitude for help in reaching such heights and achieving a great impact.
