GRATITUDE2014 REPORT

STUDENT AT MANZO ELEMENTARY JULY 1, 2013 – JUNE 30, 2014 GRATITUDE REPORT BECAUSE YOU ARE THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY FOOD BANK

Gracias. Merci. Danke. Obrigado. Dankjewel. Thank you. All of the languages in the world can’t express our gratitude. You have helped us accomplish amazing things this year, and for that, we are beyond grateful. This community, our community, is a better place to live because of you. Thank you for giving kids the opportunity to grow up healthy; and parents, the hope for a better tomorrow. Thank you for setting tables and filling plates; for lightening burdens and lifting loads. Thank you for turning someone’s desperate yesterday into a more promising tomorrow. Together, this year we distributed 30 million pounds of food to people in need. That amounts to more than 24 million meals. Nearly 200,000 people were served through our emergency food program alone. It’s difficult to imagine, but without you, those people would have gone hungry. But you’ve not only assisted individuals, you’ve strengthened our community. Thirty- eight graduates of our Caridad Culinary Training Program are now employed by local businesses; nearly $400,000 stayed in Tucson because of our Farmers’ Markets and advocacy initiatives; and an estimated $7 million was generated in local economic impact through our SNAP assistance program. This success would not be possible without you. We are lucky to call you our partner in the battle against hunger. It may be a daunting task, but we have shown, time and time again, that working together to improve our community is not only possible, it’s a reality. Thank you always,

Michael McDonald CEO/President Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona

After working 28 years, I lost it all. For 28 years I had my own company here in Tucson. Then one stupid blood clot rearranged everything. Now I can’t work anymore. When they gave me my exit from the hospital, I was out on the streets. Thank God, I’ve been able to pick myself up. I’m so thankful to the Food Bank, because I would have starved. At least I’m alive. -Glen, Client

Without the Community Food Bank, I wouldn’t be where I am today. As a kid growing up, I never knew we didn’t have any money. All I knew is that we had food on the table. When I talk to donors, that’s what I try to explain. Their donations allowed me to grow up as a kid, to go to college, to be successful. -Andres, Board Member
