The Art of ighting Hunger

2000 Annual Report Message from the Executive Director and the Board President Board of Directors

The Art of ighting Hunger Officers Dean Fenner 3M (retired) Grant Wacker Glynis Hinschberger The theme for this annual report is quite appropriate- “The Art of Fighting President Seren Innovations, Inc. Wells Fargo Private Client Hunger.” What we do here at the Food Bank is truly an art; It is not a science. A Services Tim Hughes scientific approach would suggest a very specific, exact prescriptive method for fighting Alliance Bank Mike Banks hunger. Unfortunately, there is no one, simple approach. Rather, it is an art. It is an art Vice-President Mary Pat Raimondi based on passion, commitment and vision. It must be creative, innovative and risk Ramsey County Human Services The Milestone Group taking. It clearly recognizes and accepts the challenges as well as the opportunities that John Williams Thomas Schurig face us in fighting hunger in the twenty-first century. Treasurer Pillsbury Company Cub Foods (retired) Andrea Thomas This annual report is intended to share with you how for over twenty-seven years Maureen Hooley Bausch Lab School Second Harvest St. Paul Food Bank has engaged in this art of fighting hunger. It is Secretary Dave Woldt critical that the picture is presented and we stand accountable to all of our supporters Mall of America General Mills (retired) and stakeholders. Members Jerry Guevara Hispanos en Minnesota Dale Anderson Becky Wolfgram As you review this annual report, reflect on the picture and the outcomes of our Ramsey Action Programs Urban Coalition fight against hunger in our communities and the state. Each of our programs, supported Kathleen Anderson LiCho XENE XAI by our Board of Directors and staff, is part of that picture. Therefore, in this spirit, Computer Training Specialist review this report of our Food Bank, Commodity Supplemental Feeding Program (Mothers St. Paul Pioneer PRess Susan Asplund and Children and Nutrition Assistance Program for Seniors), Twelve Baskets Program, St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church Product Recovery Center, Mise-En-Place (job training/community kitchen), and our Bonnie Bassett after school programs (Kids Cafes and Feeding Kids Partnership). These parts together Land O’Lakes, Inc. paint a complete picture for you of the art of fighting hunger. Marian Briggs Padilla Speer Beardsley It is truly our hope, as Board and Staff, that you will celebrate with us the Nancy Cincotta achievements of this past year. We certainly want you to accept our gratitude and the Ramsey County Human Services gratitude of those we serve. It could not happen without your support.

Second Harvest St. Paul Food Bank is a clearinghouse for food and non-food items donated by the food industry and individuals. Dozens of heavy-duty boxes on pallets, each box filled with many pounds of cereal, canned goods, peanut butter and other food staples, neatly line the floor and warehouse racks. The Food Bank is an efficient charitable business, always striving to shorten the distance for the time food takes to reach hungry people. A dedicated team of warehouse employees and a host of volunteers help the Food Bank smoothly operate its distribution center so that it can secure enormous amounts of wholesome food. Since its inception 27 years ago, the Food Bank has sharpened its food distribution skills. Food delivered to the Food Bank is unloaded, double-checked for quality, weighed and logged into the Food Bank’s inventory database. Donations are temporarily stored in our 65,000 square foot warehouse until they can be distributed to the foodshelves, on-site meal programs and other non-profit agencies that comprise the Food Bank’s member agencies. The Food Bank is a reliable resource for over 435 member agencies in 36 counties of Greater St. Paul, West Central and Southwest Minnesota and 20 counties in Western Wisconsin. These agencies depend on the Food Bank’s stock to supply their organizations with nutritious foods to serve to those in need. The Food Bank’s member agencies are the main channel through which fresh, canned, refrigerated and frozen foods are distributed to hungry individuals in the 56 counties that make up the Food Bank’s service area. In the year 2000, the Food Bank’s Delivery Route Program became more elaborate . Most of the Food Bank’s agencies receive their orders via the Delivery Program. In order to serve our agencies better and in response to agency needs, we added three new direct service delivery routes. Two new routes were added in the St. Cloud, Mankato and New Ulm area. These routes deliver direct to agencies’ doors The ood Bank rather than going to a central drop site. Another route was added to serve agencies located in towns along I-35 north of St. Paul. Even in Product Received 14,122,163 lbs. the Metro area, agencies don’t have access to adequate transportation or prefer to use staff time in direct service efforts; therefore, the Food Product Distributed 13,646,262 lbs. Bank provides delivery services there as well. Drivers make deliveries two days each week to agencies needing this service. Expenses $24,241,105

Together with the support of donors, volunteers and community members, the Food Bank has been committed to the fight against hunger for over 27 years. Over the year, the Food Bank has strengthened its six programs to meet the needs of hungry people throughout Minnesota and Western Wisconsin.

One nutritious meal can’t last a lifetime, nor could one hug or positive word be enough to build success in a child’s life. For the many agencies that offer supportive after school services to children and their families, it has been obvious when children are engaged in after school activities, they are often hungry. Outside of school lunch, many children suffer food insecurity, among other potentially debilitating obstacles to a happy, healthy childhood. In partnership with the food bank in the year 2000, agencies designated as Kids Cafes or Feeding Kids Partnership sites provided substantial snacks and meals to over 1,000 kids on a regular basis. These agencies reported across the board improvement in childrens’ behavior and better ability to concentrate on activities. Children at many of the sites have begun to take ownership of the meal time, assisting in set-up, clean-up and food preparation. These programs have experienced major growth. As of January 2000, there were 14 agencies signed on as Feeding Kids Partnership or Kids Cafe accounts. By December 2000, there were 75 total after school sites serving kids nutritious snacks and meals! # of kids served in after-school programs: 2, 659 Snacks served: 32, 914 Meals served: 2, 327 Amount of pounds distributed: Over 250, 000 lbs.

George Bernard Shaw expressed similar thoughts when he said, “Some people see things the years. She will be missed! as they are and asked why, others see things as they might be and ask why not?” Second Harvest is what it is today because Dick Goebel, a person of faith, never stopped asking “why not?” As Dick retires, the greatest tribute we can give him is not gifts nor accolades, but it is our commitment to keep the faith and to never cease asking “why not?” Why not end hunger in this state in our lifetime?
