Efficiency with Heart

Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater Minneapolis takes pride in being an efficient organization. Webster's dictionary defines "efficient" in two ways: Acting effectively with a minimum of waste or effort Exhibiting a high level of output to input

Second Harvest Food Bank's operations fit both definitions. We act effectively to distribute donated grocery products. We measure success by our ability to distribute the greatest volume, best variety and highest quality of grocery products at the lowest possible cost to our network of member agencies that feed people in need. The additional benefit of waste reduction results from our recovery of otherwise-wasted product.

2000 was another record year for Second Harvest of Greater Minneapolis with a total of 9.4 million pounds distributed (a 13% increase over 1999). The equivalent of seven million meals reached people in need. Our proportion of service provided (output) to resources invested (input) continued to grow. Additional measures of business efficiency, such as pounds distributed per square foot of warehouse space and per employee, and number of inventory turns, positions us as one of the most efficient affiliates of America's Second Harvest.

Evaluating efficiency is a matter of the mind. Accountability to our donors, as well as professional integrity and "business sense," drive our desire to increase operational efficiencies. However, food banking goes beyond what makes sense. It is a matter of the heart as well as the head.

At the heart of Second Harvest is our shared commitment to feeding people who are hungry. The food bank links donors who give because "it's the right thing to do" with recipient agencies whose staff and volunteers work tirelessly because "people need us."

The ultimate recipients of our service are people with families who have hopes and dreams, as well as challenges in their lives. Second Harvest Greater Minneapolis’ participation in a national hunger study this year will more clearly identify who is hungry and why. Results from the study will give face and form to the hunger statistics that continue to alarm us. By profiling the beneficiaries of our food bank's services, we can better direct our product acquisition efforts and improve our distribution channels to better serve people in need.

Native American wisdom reminds us that we are all part of the "web of life." There is no separation between the giver and the receiver - we are connected to one another. In the final analysis, it is not organizations that feed people, but rather people who work together to help their neighbors.

We offer this annual report with gratitude to the thousands of donors who give food, health & beauty products, money, time, goods and services to help meet hunger needs - and to the people who receive assistance with courage and hope. Together we are the heart of Second Harvest of Greater Minneapolis.

Cheryl Landgren Executive Director 1 SECOND HARVEST FOOD BANK GREATER MINNEAPOLIS ANGELLA Angella's mom, Patti, was a single working mother with 2 young girls, and a cancer survivor. It would be hard to imagine her reaction when her youngest daughter was diagnosed with cancer. Angella was 11 years old. Even though Patti struggled to hold onto three jobs at a time, there were days when food was rare, when the electricity and heat were turned off, and when there was no health insurance. Assistance from several of Second Harvest's member agencies helped keep food on the table, freeing up money for medical, electrical and heat bills. Today Angella is a newlywed, and looks forward to adopting a child of her own.

"Somebody was there for me - I want to be there for someone else." Patti, Angella’s mother

It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion - these were the things that counted in a life.

5 SECOND HARVEST FOOD BANK GREATER MINNEAPOLIS CENTRO Sometimes longlines are worth it to buy concert tickets, or return ill-fitting Christmas presents. At Centro, people wait for something more important than rock stars or refunds. They wait for apples, green peppers, milk and oranges for their families. When Centro starts distributing produce in the spring, word quickly spreads around the neighborhood. Once a week people line up before the staff gets to work, waiting outside despite rain and temperatures over 90 degrees. The elderly hold boxes over their heads for shade, and young parents feed their children breakfast while waiting for the Second Harvest truck to arrive. Distribution begins at 10:00 am and by 11:00 am the lines are gone, and Centro has fed from 800 to over 1,000 individuals. "For these people, strawberries are a luxury" Marlon Ferrey, Director Community Support Programs

Life is full of surprises.

In 2000, many Minnesotans were surprised when they opened their mailboxes to find their heating bills had tripled. Retirees and seniors were forced to examine their fixed incomes, often having to decide between food, housing, medication and heat. Under these circumstances, food can become a low priority.

It comes as no surprise that gasoline prices are expected to increase. What is surprising is they may be at an all time high, potentially doubling or tripling from last year. This will leave families surviving on low wages struggling with the cost of getting to work.

In the last decade, hunger-relief agencies have found that the greatest increase in hungry Americans has been among the working poor. Despite the strong economy and their own hard work, they cannot always make ends meet. And increasingly, they are turning to charities for hunger relief.

For people who struggle in secret, and because of the uncertainties and surprises that force difficult decisions, Second Harvest Greater Minneapolis works to ensure that food will not fall off the shopping list. In a constantly changing environment we continue to move resources from the community to our neighbors in need.

We work together to overcome difficult surprises.

In the kitchens, working with a limited budget, the staff creates feasts of chili and cornbread, marinated chicken, and peach cobbler. These hot meals may be the only one that the children have in one week at home. In addition to a life that may be filled with adults on drugs, anger and death, N.I.P. expects that during this year one quarter of these children will be homeless. Getting "99.9%" of their food at the food bank, N.I.P. uses creativity, ingenuity and old fashioned farm style cooking, to take full advantage of the food Second Harvest has to offer. From a $1,000 budget, an amazing 16,658 pounds of food was served in 2000. "Why would you do the very least, when you can do the very most for these children." Mary Elling, Youth Director
