2016 Annual Report 614-297-0533 • [email protected] 677 E. 11th Avenue • Columbus, OH 43211 LETTER FROM THE 2016 BOARD PRESIDENT AND CURRENT BOARD PRESIDENT Dear Friends, Growth. Some things we like to see grow and others we do not. Sadly, food insecurity in our community is growing and on the move. Two years ago we moved to a new space in South Linden, a community that deals continually with food insecurity. Visits, families served, and food distributed through NNEMAP Food Pantry continue to grow, and those figures will increase in years coming. To better meet that growing need, in 2016 the Board engaged in a strategic assessment of what we do, our ser- vice territory, and our readiness and ability to reach further. Our Mission and Vision describe these things. They embrace our role and potential for increasing our reach and our effectiveness in addressing food insecurity. Growth requires resources. Our operating budget has grown nearly 70% compared with two years ago, and is now over $1,000,000 annually, the majority of which accounts for donated and distributed food. The per- centage of expenditure on food remains relatively constant – an ongoing imperative. Meeting the community’s needs, though, requires different approaches that require investment. We are truly blessed to have dedicated, experienced professionals directing the operation. They do a great job. The board is pleased to have adopted a program to support additional staff and overall payroll costs to support their work more effectively. Our staff earn every penny, and we thank them sincerely. Finally, NNEMAP Food Pantry could not function, nor would it have the same spirit of generosity, caring and nurture, without our many volunteers and supporting churches. To them, we say thank you for your partner- ship and your commitment. Yours respectfully, Samuel Moore Anne Nelson Board President 2017 Board President 2016 Our Mission: We help our neighbors enhance their lives, health and self-sufficiency through access to nutritious food and other resources. Our Vision: NNEMAP will be a leader in food access to create a Sam Moore (2017 Board President, Anne Nelson (2016 Board hunger free President), Roy Clark (Executive Director) community. Our Story - Our Future NNEMAP traces its beginnings to 1958 with the construction of the first I-670. This so disrupted the “Flytown” neighborhoods that the home values plummeted in nearby Victorian Village and what is now the Short North. By 1968, about a dozen churches were working together with the Godman Guild Association and created a food pantry for those experiencing food insecurity. That pantry was called the Near Northside Emergency Material Assistance Program, better known as NNEMAP. Through the years, NNEMAP operated out of a basement of a home, and then a basement of a church. NNEMAP grew over the years and was an important service provider for the community. NNEMAP was support- ed by over 30 churches, and had become a partner agency of Mid-Ohio Food Bank. These organiza- tions and partnerships were critical to the success of NNEMAP. As time passed and Columbus grew, our neighborhood changed. Many of our clients were no longer nearby, but still came in large numbers by bus, car or foot. In 2014, the church building we had oper- ated from was sold. Within a few months we were asked to move. The move took us to South Linden. This move proved to be such a blessing. It was a more open building, allowing us to provide a full choice shopping environment. It was still on the bus line, had triple the parking, and was handicap accessible. But most importantly, we had moved closer to the need. Since the move in 2015, we are 50% larger and have extended our service area. Our board and staff are committed to embracing the Linden community, as it is our home. But it also is a focus area for the City of Columbus, United Way, Columbus Public Health, and many civic organizations and corporations. We believe we can make a more significant impact by partnering with the schools, addressing infant mortality through the Cele- brate One Program, and extending our reach by adding a second location. We are excited about the future, and are working with partners throughout the city to plan for the years ahead.

    Local Food Action Plan - 1 - 2018 Annual Report If You Eat Food, the Health of Our Local Food System Matters

    2018 ANNUAL REPORT APRIL 2019 Local Food Action Plan - 1 - 2018 Annual Report If you eat food, the health of our local food system matters. If you eat food, the health of our local food system matters—from how food is grown and gets to our tables, to what happens to the food we throw away. A weak local food system can prevent residents from accessing healthy and affordable food, lead to unnecessary food-related waste and make it hard for small food businesses to succeed. But a strong and resilient local food system can help support the health of our residents, feed our hungry neighbors, strengthen our local economy and protect the natural resources that make our community a great place to live, work and play. The City of Columbus and Franklin County believe in the power of a thriving local food system. That’s why since 2016, the City and County have committed resources to implementing the Local Food Action Plan to make our local food system better for everyone. The Local Food Action Plan is the result of a community planning effort to create a stronger, more sustainable local food system for the City of Columbus and Franklin County. Under the leadership of Columbus City Council Member Priscilla R. Tyson and Franklin County Commissioner John O’Grady—and with the program and project support of City and County staff and the Local Food Board—our vision is a fair and sustainable food system that benefits our economy, our environment and all people.

  • Child Care Access in 2020

    Child Care Access in 2020

    Summer 2019 CHILD CARE ACCESS IN 2020: How will pending state mandates affect availability in Franklin County, Ohio? Abel J. Koury, Ph.D., Jamie O’Leary, MPA, Laura Justice, Ph.D., Jessica A.R. Logan, Ph.D., James Uanhoro INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE Child care provision is a critical service for children and their families, and it can also bolster the workforce and larger economy. For child care to truly be beneficial, however, it must be affordable, accessible, and high quality. A current state requirement regarding child care programming may have enormous implications for many of Ohio’s most vulnerable families who rely on funding for child care. Specifically, by 2020, any Ohio child care provider that accepts Publicly Funded Child Care (PFCC) subsidies must both apply to and receive entry into Ohio’s quality rating and improvement system – Step Up To Quality (SUTQ) (the “2020 mandate”). The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, we aim to provide an in-depth examination of the availability of child care in Franklin County, Ohio, with a specific focus on PFCC-accepting programs, and explore how this landscape may change in July of 2020. Second, we aim to examine the locations of programs that are most at risk for losing child care sites, highlighting possible deserts through the use of mapping. Crane Center for Early Childhood Research and Policy Improving children’s well-being through research, practice, and policy.1 2020 SUTQ Mandate: What is at stake? According to an analysis completed by Franklin County Jobs and Family Services (JFS), if the 2020 mandate went into effect today, over 21,000 young children would lose their care (Franklin County Jobs and Family Services, 2019).

    Gentrification in the Short North: from Run Down to Downtown

    Hansan 1 Gentrification in the Short North: From Run Down to Downtown A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with distinction in History in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by John Kent Hansan The Ohio State University June 2005 Project Advisor: Professor Steven Conn, Department of History Hansan 2 I. The Short North: Then and Now On the first Saturday of every month, people from all over central Ohio flock to the Short North for Gallery Hop. This short stretch of High Street, located just north of the central downtown center of Columbus, is packed with restaurants, specialty shops, and art galleries. Music, talk, and laughter fill the air as people wander from site to site, enjoying the vibrancy and life of the area. People slip into the High Street businesses, examine the art and other knick- knacks, and maybe make a purchase or two. On beautiful spring days, downtown employees eat at the restaurants and walk up and down the High Street strip. In the summer, a group of resident oddballs have a parade of insanity through the neighborhood. In the residential neighborhoods of Victorian Village and Italian Village, located on opposite sides of High Street, there are dozens of construction projects, some recently completed, some major renovations in process, and others on the drawing board. The residents are some of the most educated and most tolerant in all of Columbus. Driving around the neighborhood, one can see all sorts of symbols of diversity: rainbow flags, American flags, Ohio State flags, and flags of the University of Michigan.
