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.

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 Society of Gleaners The St. Paul Companies Inc.
