LEADING THE FIGHT AGAINST HUNGER

2010 ANNUAL REPORT Feeding America is the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity. Our mission is to feed America’s hungry through a nationwide network of member food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger.

Each year, the Feeding America network provides food to more than 37 million low-income people facing hunger in the United States, including 14 million children and nearly three million seniors. Our network of more than 200 food banks serves all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, securing and distributing annually more than three billion pounds of food and grocery product. Those member food banks support more than 61,000 local charitable agencies, which provide food directly to individuals and families in need.

Many of us recall the recent National Bureau of Economic Research declaration that the worst recession in half a century had ended in June of 2009. It is hard to argue with statistics from a credible source, but the truth remains that high unemployment rates are holding steady and that 50 million mothers, fathers, children and seniors from all walks of life are still in need of healthy meals. The Feeding America network provides 37 million Americans with the food they need to stay healthy while they get back on their feet, but it is still not enough.

To help the hungry, we must truly understand their needs. In 2010, Feeding America conducted comprehensive research to determine the number of people who are falling through the cracks and living at risk of hunger. This Map the Meal Gap project provides a first-time look at food insecurity rates at the county level. WhileHunger in America 2010 revealed a surge from 25 to 37 million people served by the Feeding America food bank network, it also reminded us that there are millions more individuals in need who may not be getting the assistance they require to put food on the table. Map the Meal Gap research will help the Feeding America network better understand the needs of residents in each county, and help us develop programs and initiatives that will enable us to create tailored solutions for our clients’ needs.

We have some inspiring goals to feed the nation’s children, families and individuals, but we cannot do it alone. The federal government offers assistance to those who are hungry, through programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC). Yet, for a variety of reasons, too many people do not have access to the support that these programs provide.

In order to ensure that our clients participate in these vitally important federal food assistance programs, Feeding America established a SNAP outreach program to help local food banks increase SNAP participation in their service areas. A seven-state pilot program allowed food bank staff to facilitate the federal benefit applications of 6,000 clients, alleviating much of the burden from local offices and diminishing growing application backlogs. Thanks to the success of these initial efforts, Feeding America is now committed to expanding the focus of its SNAP outreach program to 27 states with participation rates below the national average of 67 percent.

The recession brought new faces to the lines at local soup kitchens and pantries. As a food bank network we have worked hard to serve them. We look forward to working with you, our admirable partners, in the future as we serve the more than 50 million individuals who do not know where they will find their next meal.

Thank you for all your support.

2010 ANNUAL REPORT | 1 Dear Friends,

These have been tough but inspiring times. Never in Feeding America’s history have we seen so great a need among families and individuals seeking food assistance—and so many for the first time. As we found throughHunger in America 2010, Feeding America food banks are feeding an astonishing 37 million people each year, a 46 percent increase since 2006.

Thanks to the generous support of our committed food and financial donors, and corporate and foundation partners, the Feeding America network is rising to the challenge of feeding more people across the country. In 2010, our network distributed a record three billion pounds of food, surpassing our annual goals and placing us two years ahead of our strategic plan. We’ve also experienced an exceptional 25.4 percent growth of donated funds, exceeding $95 million for the year.

Not only are we finding ways to get more meals on the tables of those in need, we are bringing in more food and funds, expanding programs, heightening awareness, and finding innovative ways to serve our communities like never before.

We are providing more food to more people.

In 2010, the Feeding America network increased the number of pounds distributed through the national office from 740 million in 2009 to 960 million. Our incredible growth is due largely in part to the unprecedented growth our national programs have had over the course of the year.

We are raising funds needed to advance our mission.

In 2010, we launched The Campaign for a Hunger-Free America, a collaborative five-year initiative to fund the network-wide strategic plan and to help build fundraising capacity across the network. As of June 30, more than $125 million has been committed toward the $500 million goal.

New and existing partners like ConAgra Foods, General Mills, JP Morgan Chase, Kraft Foods, The Lincy Foundation, Macy’s and Morgan Stanley helped us build programs and cause marketing campaigns that enhance our ability to feed more people in need.

We are developing the network’s capacity to feed the growing need.

Of all food and funds raised by the national office, more than 90 percent goes directly back to network members to support programs and services, including nearly $24.5 million of direct support to the network. We invested in technology that will help members maximize their efficiency, and supported members to increase participation in child feeding programs and provided 37 million meals through Kids Cafe, summer food, BackPack, snack and school pantry programs.

2 | LEADING THE FIGHT AGAINST HUNGER leadership “In 2010, our network distributed a record three billion pounds of food, surpassing our annual goals and placing us two years ahead of our strategic plan.”

We are influencing key policies that benefit low-income Americans.

With the help of more than 20,000 new hunger-relief advocates, Feeding America dedicated intense focus on the Child Nutrition Reauthorization bill. In November, Feeding America mobilized more than 1,200 state, local and national groups to urge Congress to pass the bill before the end of the calendar year. The bill, which was approved by Congress in early December, will expand the at-risk after-school supper program nationwide, strengthen the Summer Food Service Program, and better connect eligible children to free school meals.

We are successfully building awareness of our brand and the issue of hunger.

Thanks to our Public Service Announcement campaign in partnership with Ad Council, strong placements in top-tier media and expanded work within the entertainment industry and cause marketing programs, we exceeded our goals by achieving 28 percent brand awareness among the general public, more than tripling our awareness within 18 months of the initial launch.

While the Feeding America network has had a tremendous year, we know that millions of American families have not been so fortunate. Today, more than 50 million of our neighbors are at risk of going hungry. As long-term unemployment plagues communities across the country, we know that our food banks and agencies will be called upon to feed more people for months and even years to come.

Thanks to your ongoing support, our network is prepared to serve the rising number of people in need. Your continued partnership in hunger-relief brings us closer to ensuring that every man, woman and child in America has enough to eat.

Sincerely,

Vicki Escarra President and Chief Executive Officer Feeding America

Building a powerful national brand is at the heart of Feeding America’s engagement and advocacy programs. During the past two years, Feeding America has made significant inroads to enlist the support of the public and private sectors in our fight to end hunger—and to raise awareness of this important issue.

Brand Awareness have resulted in significantly boosting the public’s awareness of Feeding America. As of June 2010, aware- ness of Feeding America has tripled to 28 percent Raising public awareness of the issue of hunger in among the general public, which is a significant increase. America and motivating both the private and public sectors to take more active roles in providing solutions Feeding America’s PSA campaign and partnership to this devastating national problem is integral to with Ad Council continues to be a key vehicle to help Feeding America’s mission.

From its roots in soup kitchens and storage warehouses, the field of hunger relief has evolved greatly since the early 1960s. Today, food banks are providing an array of programs and services that help clients not only meet their immediate need for food, but assist them on their path to self-sufficiency. Through comprehensive research, public and private partnerships, and innovative programs, the Feeding America network is positioned at the forefront of domestic hunger relief.

2010 ANNUAL REPORT | 19 Improving the Health of Our Nation

As the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization, Feeding America understands the nutritional challenges faced by low-income Americans. Many food banks are already addressing this issue and working to improve client health by providing more nutritious food and by educating clients about healthy diets. At a national level, Feeding America has worked to provide more nutritious food, incorporate nutrition education into its programs and advocate for government programs that increase low-income individuals’ access to nutritious food.

Factors like nutritional content, food choice and mea- surement introduce debate on the growing emphasis on nutrition and complexity to the emergency feeding system. To address these issues, Feeding America is strengthening our nutrition plan in partnership with a Nutrition Advisory Team, made up of nutrition experts to offer professional guidance on technical issues. Together, we can build a nutrition strategy to ensure that the larger nutrition agenda takes into account the needs of the 37 million people we serve annually.
