A WORLD WITHOUT HUNGER... WE DO

Food for People is grateful for this opportunity to share the highlights of our ac-complishments for fi scal year 2015- 2016, which encompasses the period from October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016. It represents our 37th year of service to our community, providing food assistance for an average of 12,000 individuals of all ages each month. The majority of our 14 programs have been in operation for anywhere from 10 to 35 years and they include food distributions for children, families, seniors and people with disabilities; a variety of nutrition edu-cation activities; CalFresh outreach and application assistance; and job training programs for individuals enrolled in the WEX and CalWORKS programs. Although our operations are based at our facility in Eureka, we connect with people at loca-tions throughout Humboldt County with food distribution sites that extend from Garberville in the south to Orick in the north and from Eureka on the coast to Hoopa and points east.

As you read through this annual report, you will see that we piece together a wide variety of funding sources to help our programs function as effi ciently and cost-effectively as possible. We are constantly exploring grant and govern-ment funding opportunities that fi t our mission, but the biggest impact clearly comes from the generosity of our local food and fi nancial donors and our volunteers. Their donations of time, money, food and resources make it possible for us to help when needed most and represent a signifi cant investment in the long term health of our community. We appreciate their continued support and their willingness to help us maintain a strong focus on good nutrition as a pathway to good health.

One of the things that is a bit more diffi cult to quantify in an annual report format is the value of having a dedicated, hardworking staff and teams of amazing volunteers that work shoulder to shoulder each and every day. Their creativity, resourcefulness and compassion-in-action attitude play a crucial role in helping us achieve our mission. Their commitment to providing excellent service for people who are experiencing poverty and food insecurity, and doing so in an atmosphere of dignity and respect, is nothing short of inspirational. This also applies to the wonder-ful spirit of collaboration that touches each one of our programs in a signifi cant way. Our program partners include Family and Community Resource Centers, faith-based groups, nonprofi t organizations, businesses, government entities, civic groups, schools, families and interested individuals who work together and share limited resources to make our community a better place to live.

In closing, I would like to extend our warmest thanks to all who are partnering with us to create a healthy, hunger-free Humboldt County. We couldn’t be more grateful for your support!

With gratitude,

Anne HolcombExecutive Director

According to data provided through the California Health Interview Survey, Humboldt County has one of the highest rates of hunger and food insecurity statewide.

History of Food for People, Inc.Food for People fi rst opened its doors in 1979 as a small food closet, designed to fi ll a void in the County’s social service programs. Our programs and services have grown and matured over the past 37 years, thanks to the generous support of the local community and the various grant making foundations that have provided funding for new and existing projects.

Federal and state contracts specifi c to the distribution of USDA, FEMA and other purchased or donated foods, combined with grants and generous local donations, make it possible for us to provide food for more than 12,000 low income children, seniors, people with disabilities and other individuals each month.

Food for People is a member of the California Association of Food Banks and is designated as a partner distribution organization by Feeding America, a nationwide network of food banks. We are also members of the Northern California Association of Nonprofi ts, which helps to build and strengthen our focus on local partnerships and collaborations.

Food for People, Inc. is designated as the Food Bank for Humboldt County.

The programs offered by Food for People are intended to serve as a safety net for those whose circumstances have left them at risk for hunger and food insecurity. Our goal is to provide individuals and households with the emergency and supplemental food they need, while working to address the root causes of hunger in our county.

Food for People, Inc. currently operates a total of 14 programs, each of which is designed to address the needs of those who are experiencing hunger and food insecurity.

Last year, our food bank distributed more than 2 million pounds of food. An average of 385 volunteers per month donated 27,957 hours of their time last year—equivalent to 18 full-time staff positions.

Meeting the Need in Humboldt County

The Food Bank coordinates the distribution of food through all designated program areas, and also oversees the direct distribution of food through our Choice Pantry to an average of 1,115 households each month. The Choice Pantry style of food distribution invites people to shop through our pantry and select the foods they want and need, so none goes to waste. Shopping is based on a nutritional point system to ensure that everyone gets a balance of foods from every food group (protein, grain, fruits, vegetables, dairy). Last year we provided a total of 13,383 shopping trips in the Choice Pantry and an additional 2,209 Emergency Food Boxes.

Our Emergency Food Pantry Network provides food for 17 pantries and 3 congregate meal programs (soup kitchens) located throughout Humboldt County. An average of 2,746 households were served each month through all pantries last year, and an average of 12,761 meals were served each month by congregate meal sites in our network. Food for People monitors each site, and provides technical assistance, as needed.

Top: More than 100 volunteers came out to the 25th Annual Letter Carriers’ Drive to help unload, sort, and pack food donations. Bottom: The Choice Pantry at Food for People in Eureka, CA allows clients to “shop” through their food selection process much like they would in a grocery store.

The Senior Brown Bag Program has been operating since 1987, and currently provides a bag of groceries for more than 300 low-income senior households county-wide each month. Volunteer drivers deliver bags to those who are unable to pick up their own food.

The Commodity Supplemental Food Program for seniors provides a 30-40 pound box of nutritious food monthly for more than 300 program participants at six locations.

Our Homebound Delivery Program provides a monthly bag of groceries for up to 100 adults under age 60 who are too ill or disabled to leave their homes. Some recipients are recovering from surgery, while others may be coping with a terminal illness. Referrals are accepted from hospital discharge planners, social workers, home health workers, etc.

The Summer Food Service Program, also known as the Children’s Summer Lunch Program, distributed 17,554 lunches at 23 community sites in summer 2016. Free sack lunches are provided to low-income children whose families cannot afford the additional cost of the extra meals once school is out. The majority of the children served qualify for free or reduced-cost breakfast and lunch during the school year.

The After School Snack Program was initiated in October 2006 and provides healthy snacks in after school settings at various schools and youth programs for up to 400 children per day. Last year we distributed 47,733 snacks at 11 sites. Many of the sites are also partners in our Summer Lunch program.

The Backpacks for Kids program provides a backpack fi lled with kid-friendly food every Friday during the school year for children who are considered at risk for hunger over the weekend. Last year, the program served 509 children at 26 schools.

The Nonprofi t Food Network allows local nonprofi t organizations providing residential, rehabilitation or after-school programs to access foods in our warehouse at a low, per pound cost. Programs must specifi cally serve low-income children and adults.

Pictured: Local Children enjoy healthy sack lunches provided by Food for People’s Summer Lunch Program during day camp at the City of Eureka’s free Camp Cooper.

Free Produce Market programs include our free farmers’ market-style produce distributions at 4 locations monthly, May through October, which served 2,731 households in the 2016 season, and the Mobile Produce Pantry which served 6,465 households last year in remote communities that lack access to fresh produce.

Local Food Resources Programs include the Gleaning Program, which accessed 95,463 lbs of donated fresh local produce and meat from commercial farms, orchards, backyard gardens and ranches this year; the “Plant a Row for the Hungry” campaign, which encourages backyard gardeners to plant an extra row of food to donate to a local food pantry; and community Food Drives through which our community donated 163,060 lbs this year.

Community Education and Outreach Programs include Hunger 101, a hands-on curriculum designed for children and adults of all ages which provides insight into the tough decisions low-income households face daily when trying to obtain adequate nutrition. We offer cooking and nutrition classes regularly at the Eureka Co-op demonstration kitchen and other community locations.

Our CalFresh Outreach Program advocates for the elimination of bureaucratic barriers to CalFresh (formerly food stamps) for working families and seniors and helps to enroll them in CalFresh.

The Emergency Food and Disaster Program links Food for People with our local chapter of VOAD, Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster. Should a disaster strike Humboldt County, Food for People would work with other local groups to make food available to any community experiencing hardship.
