Letter from the Executive Director

Dear Friends,

“Are we still in America?”

This awestruck question was uttered by Diego, a nine year-old participant in Yorkville Common Pantry’s (YCP) Nutrition Initiative for Children and Families last summer. Like many of the 34 other children with him on a field trip to Katchkie Farms in Columbia County, he had never been outside of New York City. He had never observed how egg- plants, peppers and tomatoes grow, nor had he ever even considered it. The sights, sounds and smells were overwhelming. “This is the best day of my life!” another child exclaimed.

Thirty years ago, when volunteers from East Side churches and synagogues formed YCP in response to the crisis of poverty and homelessness that government could not adequately address, they could not have imagined that hunger, food insecurity and the paradox of obesity in poor communities would exist in our city in 2010. Nor would they have been able to imagine that three decades later, children still live in ‘food deserts’ where fresh and healthy food is unavailable, or that the need would have grown expo- nentially so that YCP’s pantry program serves over 2 million meals a year to nearly 18,000 people.

Since 2008, YCP has seen a 100% increase in the number of families seeking our help. Equally true today as in 1980, this extreme situation calls for new responses. In addition to food, we must address hunger by providing information, education, training, instruction, and access to resources. Last year, toward those ends, we doubled enroll- ment in our nutrition education and cooking classes. That translated into almost 1,000 distinct individuals, including almost 400 children, receiving hands-on cooking and nutrition instruction, taking part in walking groups to greenmarkets in the community, and participating in field trips to places like Katchkie Farms. In the coming year we will again seek to expand this program so we can serve more families in order to impact behavior in the early years.

Just as important, we will continue to expand the variety of support services for pantry families and homeless adults. Last year we helped over 5,000 people receive services other than food, including helping members of our community access $1.2 million in benefits through the streamlined electronic Paperless Office System. We partnered with other organizations to provide free on-site tax, legal and psychiatric services, as well as medical screenings.

By providing benefits and services, food and nutrition instruction, treating people with dignity and respect all along the way, we believe we can continue to make a difference during these difficult times.

Thank you for your continued support. Sincerely, Stephen Grimaldi

1 Message from the Chair

Dear Friends,

I am honored to be the new Chair of the Yorkville Common Pantry, and I ask for your support as I undertake this new challenge. For almost two-thirds of YCP’s history, I have been volunteering at the Pantry, and I have seen the many changes over the years: the spike in number of clients served, the dramatic enhancement in our physical space, the improvement in the nutrition of the food we distribute and the increasing professionalization of our ways of working. Now it is time for YCP’s supporters to grow as the organization has grown: be more engaged, contribute more, volunteer and be part of our mission! Discover the feeling of Community that working at the Pantry has given me and can give to you.

I began to volunteer because I wanted to represent to my then young sons the importance of giving back. I stayed, because the work is meaningful, fulfilling, and important, and because YCP does the work better than anyone else in the field. We serve more meals, distribute more fresh produce, and teach better nutrition to children and families. And all that is just a start.

Nutrition Initiative for Children Fresh Produce Initiative and Families (NICF) Providing as much fresh produce to our clients as possible The Nutrition Initiative for Children and Families (NICF) program is a priority at Yorkville Common Pantry. In the summer of offers eleven interactive nutrition education classes monthly to 2009, YCP distributed a survey that was completed by 600 350 people. Classes are offered to adults, families and children pantry families. Their message was clear: pantries do not helping address the prevalence of diabetes and obesity through- give enough fresh food.

As a result of this initiative, YCP has Harlem at community-based organizations, as well as Junior been able to greatly increase the amount of fresh vegetables High School 13.

Food Bank for New York City.

Nutritious and affordable foods are harder to come by than in many other communities, both causing and exacerbating this public health crisis. NICF directly addresses these issues, un- questionably linked to poverty and poor nutrition, by teaching participants how to make healthy and tasty food.

4 NICF Client Story “Justin always hated eating fresh vegetables,” says his mother, Sandra.

However, since the two of them began attending YCP’s Nutrition Initiative for Children and Families (NICF) classes, they have been eating healthier. Both of them have set goals to lose weight and are both feeling better and more energetic. Sandra has also noticed that Justin is much more outgoing and has more self-confi dence. To make eating healthier more fun, Justin and Sandra are preparing and cooking meals that they learned in class together! Justin and Sandra enjoy the classes and continue to improve their well-being.

Thanks to the Nutri- tion Initiative for Children & Families program, children and their parents are able to make healthier food choices and are able to serve homemade dishes using fresh fruits and vegetables. 5 Existing Programs

Stamp Program applications for our families on site. She was unemployed, had no source of income, and was currently taking care of her father. Marion, a YCP case- worker, referred her to the Home Health Agency, where they were holding trainings for personal care assistants. Yvonne recounts that she was the oldest person in her training class and was noticing many of the younger people dropping out; at this point, she made a promise to herself that she would finish the course. This October, Yvonne became certified as a home health care aide. She came back to share the great news with Marion and YCP: “I didn’t forget you. I didn’t forget this place!”

6 Project Dignity We provide case management services to homeless individuals. Last year, case managers worked with 366 clients to offer counseling and referral services, helping them obtain housing, jobs, entitlements, substance abuse treatment or other medical and social services. Project Dignity’s array of services are designed to meet the most basic needs of YCP’s clients— food, haircuts, mail service, laundry—as well as addressing the larger, more challenging issues they face—long-term housing, health care, benefits and employment. The overall goal of the program is to serve as a bridge back to health, well-being and self-sufficiency for the homeless and hungry.

Hot Meal Program This program serves breakfast Monday through Friday and dinner on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. A total of 75,800 meals were provided last year, an increase of 13% from the previous year. Our staff cooks prepare balanced meals with wholesome ingredients. Beyond providing nutritious food, the program offers participants a chance to sit, eat and socialize in a relaxing, safe and convivial atmosphere that may be their only reprieve from the stress of being homeless or living in poverty. Additionally, we partner with medical service providers to offer a range of medical screenings during meal programs.

7 Schools

Throughout the years, YCP has built relationships with dozens of public and independent schools, ranging from nursery schools, elementary, middle and high schools, as well as colleges and universities. Last year, 52 schools were represented by volunteers and donors who made our programs possible. Community service interns support our efforts and educate their peers about poverty and hunger. Groups from various schools organize food drives or donate toys, books and clothing for YCP client families. The commitment of our school volunteers is always inspiring and greatly appreciated. We especially thank the following schools for their work with us last year:
