2017 Annual Report Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County 2017 Annual Report Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County A dollar can give her breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not to mention a childhood. No child should have to worry about where their next meal is coming from. That’s why we’ve dedicated more than three decades to helping families get the food they need to work, learn and dream. • We are excited to report on all the ways your donations have helped us feed more people over the past year. Nearly 94 cents of every dollar we spend goes directly to feeding the hungry. Because of your generous support of funds, time and talent, we distributed a record-breaking 21.6 million meals to hungry men, women and children in Orange County, putting us on track to reach our Bold Goal of feeding all who need our help.• As we enter our 35th year of ending hunger, we ask you to join us in our Bold Goal of making sure that no one in Orange County goes hungry. Ever. Nicole Suydam, CEO Bob Wolpert, Board Chair Tonight, too many families right here in Orange County may go hungry. People who work hard for minimum wages. Seniors on limited incomes. Returning veterans. Those with chronic medical problems. Women and children fleeing abuse. Yet if we work together, we could afford to give all of them their most basic need: food. At Second Harvest, every day our Grocery Rescue Program collects dairy, meat A dollar can give them and produce from grocery stores and retailers that is still fresh and delicious. breakfast, lunch and dinner. We gather donations of wholesome, nutritious food from Albertsons/Vons/ Pavilions, Aldi, Amazon Fresh, Big Lots, Costco Wholesale, Gelson’s, Grocery Not to mention security. Outlet, Ralphs/Food 4 Less, Sprouts, Smart & Final, Starbucks, Target, Trader Joe’s, Walmart/Sam’s Club, and 99 Ranch Market. We also get fresh produce from OC Produce, Veg Fresh, Veg Land, Freida’s and Legacy Farms. In FY 2017, those donations totaled 25.6 million pounds. Next year we plan to add Stater Bros. and Whole Foods. We receive truckloads of packaged, overstocked food from manufacturers and distributors and bulk produce from farmers and packers. We help local companies and organizations stage food drives and we buy basic staple items when necessary. 85% Cost of living in OC is 85% higher than the national average. At the heart of every neighborhood is the local school. It’s where friendships A dollar can give her are made and futures imagined. Now we’ve added another component: a breakfast, lunch and dinner. market that supplies much-needed, free, fresh and staple food. Any neighbor needing food can make an appointment once a week to fill one or two bags with Not to mention hope. meat, dairy, produce, canned goods, toiletries, and paper goods. In FY 2017, we had two Permanent School Pantries that provided 270,495 meals and we opened a third location in November. Next year, we’ll add one more. At 24 other school locations, we provided a Mobile School Pantry once a month. These colorful farmer’s markets offer a wide variety of fresh produce, plus staples, so families can choose the things they need most. This year, we provided more than 1.4 million meals to almost 32,000 families. Next year we will open six more locations in underserved communities. Every afternoon, our Kids Cafe Program continues to provide much-needed meals for kids in after-school and summer programs like those in Boys and Girls Clubs. They offer healthy after-school and summer meals, plus nutrition education to every child we serve. At community centers and houses of worship, our Mobile Pantry and Adopt A Pantry programs provide fresh, nutritious produce and some staple items free to those in need. Last year we made 555 stops at 43 locations, where families could select the food they wanted from a large variety of fresh produce and staples. That’s more than 3.6 million meals, for more than 70,000 families—including more than 142,000 children. 37% 37% of OC neighborhoods are financially unstable. An unexpected car expense. A medical emergency. A lost paycheck. The A dollar can give him majority of American families don’t have enough savings to cover any of these breakfast, lunch and dinner. setbacks. And that’s when our CalFresh Outreach workers help families that qualify to apply for the benefits they need. With these small monthly subsidies, Not to mention dignity. families can purchase their own groceries while they look for work or pay down their bills. This year our CalFresh outreach team helped provide the equivalent of almost 2.5 million meals. If you’ve worked hard all your life, it’s not easy asking for food. Even if you cut back on your medication, there’s still not enough money for groceries. For too many seniors, even a pension and savings can’t cover the rising costs of rent and medicine. Our Senior Grocery Program, in 37 locations, helps to bridge that gap. Volunteers—often those served by the program—help seniors select fresh groceries so they can get by until the end of the month. This year we distributed more than a million meals to almost 6,000 senior households each month. For those who are struggling and often living alone, the Senior Grocery Program doesn’t just provide nutritious meals—it offers conversation and companionship. 8.8% 8.8% of seniors in OC are living in poverty. A dollar can give her But only with your help. Studies show that hungry children do poorly breakfast, lunch and dinner. in school, are sick more often and drop out of school earlier than those who never need to worry about having enough food to eat. So in a very real sense, when you Not to mention a future. feed a child, you are helping to create her future. At Second Harvest, there are many ways you can contribute using your own unique experience. You can: • Lead a Food Drive or a Virtual Food Drive at your office, in your organization, or with your faith community. For the legal community, there’s our Food From The Bar food drive. • Connect us with corporate partners who can donate food, equipment and resources. • Organize a volunteer day with your work group or as an individual to sort donated food in our distribution center. • Bring your kids to volunteer in Izzy’s Corner where they can sort and package food for hungry families. • Attend one of our events like the Harvesters Fashion Show & Luncheon, our “No Lunch” Lunch, Serving Hope Breakfast, and the Associates Board Golf Tournament. • And, of course, you can help us on a one-time or continuing basis by donating funds or other assets. Remember that each of those dollars will be feeding someone three whole meals. >93% Nearly 94 cents of every dollar we spend goes directly to feeding the hungry. By the numbers.

Describe the company’s strategic profile and its industry Applying the tools of analysis covered in the whole textbook, identify and evaluate the company’s strategic profile, strategic issues/problems that merit attention (and then propose, in the following section, action recommendations to resolve these issues/problems). Amazon is getting more serious about its brick-and-mortar retail ambitions with its first-ever Amazon- branded grocery store. The store does source a number of its items, including some produce and meat and other fresh food, from Whole Foods suppliers. It also carries Whole Foods’ 365 brand for certain items. But Amazon’s store offers other products, like Kellogg’s breakfast cereal and Coke products, that you won’t find at Amazon’s higher-end, organic-focused subsidiary. Amazon says the store combines the product availability and low prices of a grocery chain like Publix or Walmart with the convenience and quick shopping times of its Go model, with a selection that includes both big mainstream brands and local, organic produce.

  • Walmart Inc. Takes on Amazon.Com
    For the exclusive use of Q. Mays, 2020. 9-718-481 REV: JANUARY 21, 2020 DAVID COLLIS ANDY WU REMBRAND KONING HUAIYI CICI SUN Walmart Inc. Takes on Amazon.com At the start of 2018, Walmart faced critical decisions about its future as e-commerce continued to explode. Walmart just lost its long-held crown as the most valuable retailer in the world to online leader Amazon. With Amazon’s recent acquisition of Whole Foods for $13 billion, Amazon moved aggressively into the offline world to challenge Walmart in its biggest business, grocery. Walmart was not standing still, making moves like buying Jet.com for $3 billion in 2016. While Walmart’s U.S. e- commerce revenues grew to $11.5 billion in 2017, there was no debate in Bentonville, AR: Walmart remained far behind. The question for Walmart CEO Doug McMillon and Walmart.com head Marc Lore was how to respond to its most aggressive competitor ever (Exhibits 1a and 1b).1 Amazon The Early Years (1994–2001) Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in 1994 to exploit the Internet, still a relatively nascent technology. He determined that selling books online was most promising, because the number of titles available was greater than even the largest brick-and-mortar store could stock. Bezos and his wife drove west to start “Earth’s Biggest Bookstore” in Seattle, WA. Amazon offered 1 million titles for sale on its opening day in July 1995. Next year, the company had over 2.5 million book titles for sale, with revenue doubling every quarter (Exhibit 2).
