people facing hunger in the United States,

including 12 million children and 7 million

seniors. Through 200 member food banks

and 60,000 food pantries and meal

programs, the Feeding America network

serves all 50 states, the District of Columbia

and Puerto Rico. Together we secure nearly

OUR LEADERSBRINGING HOPE TO 46 MILLION PEOPLE

Dear Friends,

What began 35 years ago as a small group of dedicated food bank leaders is now the

nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief organization—a powerful and efficient network

of 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs. Today, we respond

to the hunger crisis by not only providing food to people in need, but also building

collaborative long-term solutions to address root causes of hunger.

While food insecurity rates remain the highest ever recorded—1 in 6 Americans face

hunger—people like you have made the difference because you believe in the possibility

of a hunger-free America. You believe that no child or neighbor of yours should go to

bed hungry or wake up wondering where his or her next meal might come from.

As businesses, charities, individuals and government agencies, we all have a role to play in getting more food to

people in need. Your engagement has galvanized us to think boldly about our role. Feeding America is committed

to feeding the nation by more comprehensively addressing the meal gap, the 8.6 billion meals missing from families’

tables each year, and leading the movement to end hunger in our country.

This year the Feeding America network of food banks provided our neighbors with 3.3 billion meals, a quarter of

which were comprised of fruits and vegetables. Together we protected hunger-relief legislation from harmful cuts,

released groundbreaking research, increased public support, and strengthened programs that reach vulnerable

populations like children and seniors.

Your generosity inspired growth in donations of both food and funds and made Feeding America a $2.1 billion

nonprofit organization, which has enabled us to reach more men, women and children than ever before. Together

we provide meals for more than 46 million people to help them lead healthier, more active lives.

Together, a hunger-free America is possible. Together we can solve hunger.

Thank you for investing in Feeding America and our mission.

FEEDTHENATION

To build the foundation of a brighter tomorrow, Feeding

America provides nutritious meals to help feed families

today. In 2014, the Feeding America network of food

banks helped provide 3.3 billion meals to 46 million

people, bringing us closer to achieving our goal to provide

3.6 billion meals to families facing hunger annually by

2018. We work every day to exceed this goal, so that one

day, every American has the food they need to live

a healthy and active life.


RETAIL DONATIONS

Food and product donations from our generous

retail partners continue to make up the largest

source of meals we help provide. As sustainability

efforts within the grocery industry focus on

waste reduction, retailers continue to look for

opportunities to donate useable product rather

than allow it to go unused.

Perishable foods like low-fat dairy, lean meats and

fresh produce provide good wholesome choices

to people in need. To provide more of these foods,

food banks work with retail partners to enhance

their donation models to collect, store and distribute

perishables safely and quickly.

FY 2013 FY 2014

Based on U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines, a meal is equal to 1.2 pounds of food and grocery product.

PARTNERING TO RESCUE FOOD, REDUCE WASTE AND FEED MORE PEOPLE

MORE THAN 70 BILLION POUNDS OF FOOD GOES TO WASTE IN THE U.S. EVERY YEAR70B

FEEDING AMERICA IS GRATEFUL TO WALMART, OUR NETWORK’S LARGEST RETAIL PARTNER. TOGETHER WE HAVE BUILT A HIGHLY EFFICIENT PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES MILLIONS OF MEALS TO FAMILIES FACING HUNGER.

For 35 years, Feeding America has provided a means

for good, safe excess food to be shared with families

who do not have enough to eat. As a member of the

Food Waste Reduction Alliance and critical partner

to the food industry, the Feeding America network

of food banks rescued a record 2.5 billion pounds

of food from going to waste this year, benefiting the

planet, our partners and the communities we serve.

Over 40 percent of all food produced is never

consumed, not only wasting the nutrients in that

food but also the resources invested in its growth

and production. Together, we can continue to reduce

waste to provide more meals for more people.

MEALS PROVIDED BY CHANNEL

The Feeding America network of food banks relies on five primary sources to create

a steady supply of food for the people we serve: retail donations, manufacturing donations,

federal commodities, fresh produce and purchased food.


MANUFACTURING DONATIONS

Manufacturers continue to become more efficient,

thereby reducing waste—and the amount of food

available for donation. Yet in 2014, Feeding America

increased the amount of food secured from

manufacturers by working with partners to uncover

new sources for donations. This demonstrates a

high commitment across the industry to help feed

people, while keeping good, safe food out of landfills.

FEDERAL COMMODITIES

Feeding America is the largest USDA distribution

partner for the nation’s federal Emergency Food

Assistance Program (TEFAP) and the Commodity

Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). The Feeding

America nationwide network of food banks distributes

85 percent of all TEFAP and 40 percent of all CSFP

commodities through food pantries and meal

programs to eligible people in need.

FRESH PRODUCE

Fresh fruits and vegetables are an essential

component to every diet. This year, the Feeding

America network hit a milestone by sourcing more

than 1 billion pounds of fresh produce across all

food streams. Opportunity for growth remains, as

billions of pounds of fruits and vegetables go to

waste each year.

Due to the perishable nature of fresh produce,

Feeding America food banks continue to develop

methods to quickly acquire and distribute produce

to people in need. This year, Feeding America took

steps to improve this process with the launch of

a new web-based produce donation portal and

development of Produce Matchmaker, a tool to

more effectively aggregate and connect supply

with demand via a new real-time ordering platform.

Feeding America also focused on the continued

development of regional sourcing models that

connected food banks with over 86 million pounds

of fresh produce, a 121 percent increase compared

to last year.

PURCHASED FOOD

As a network, we leverage collective purchasing

power to lower costs for items like individually

packaged foods that meet specific child or senior

program requirements and high demand foods

such as peanut butter and canned fruit. These

foods fill important gaps in supply to help provide

more balanced meals.

Purchasing is our most expensive food source

and the last option when sourcing food. This year,

Feeding America is proud to have reduced the

amount of food purchased while increasing meals

provided through the network overall.

THANK YOU TO PARTNERS WHO INVEST IN OUR FEED STRATEGY

Special investments in the Feeding America Feed strategy were made by many generous partners, including: Cargill, Caterpillar Foundation, Costco Wholesale Corporation, General Mills Foundation, Kraft Foods Group Foundation, Nationwide Foundation, Walmart Foundation and The Walt Disney Company. Special thanks to our many generous product partners, recognized in full beginning on page 43.


The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

(SNAP) is the federal government’s first line of

defense against food insecurity in the United States,

providing an essential safety-net for the millions of

people currently enrolled. Yet, more than 20 percent

of people who are eligible for SNAP do not participate.

Feeding America food banks conduct SNAP

outreach and enrollment assistance to help

eligible people access the food they need to

feed their families. Because of our deep reach

into communities across the country and access

to 46 million low-income people, Feeding America

is uniquely positioned to help families enroll in

this vital program.

In 2013, Feeding America launched the Online

SNAP Client Referral Pilot Program with the goal

of generating 25 referrals per month in two markets.

Because of the need for food assistance, that goal

was surpassed within the very first day. In 2014,

the program expanded to include 24 food banks.

Projected 2014 results include 20,511 online SNAP

referrals and 5,482 SNAP applications completed,

a 26.7 percent referral to application conversion—

more than double the application conversion

rate achieved in the pilot program. This dramatic

SNAP OUTREACH PROVIDES ADDITIONAL MEALS

Through the generous support of partners like

you, Feeding America distributed $27 million this

year to local food banks to help them bolster

programs and provide more food to more people.

More than one third of granted funds were

our network to invest resources where they

BACKPACK

REACHING CHILDREN

AND THEIR FAMILIES

OVER WEEKENDS

The BackPack Program provides children and their

families with critical help over the weekends, when

children do not have access to free or reduced-

priced school meals. The BackPack program fills

the meal gap during these two days and ensures

children have the food they need to start school

healthy and alert on Monday. Over the last five

years, the program has grown 100 percent—from

a program that distributed 20 million meals to

one that provides an incredible 41 million meals

to children and their families each year.

KIDS CAFE AND

AFTERSCHOOL SNACK

REACHING CHILDREN

AFTER SCHOOL

Our most mature child hunger intervention, the

Kids Cafe and Afterschool Snack Program provides

free meals and snacks to low-income children

through a variety of existing community locations,

such as Boys and Girls Clubs, churches or public

schools. While many kids receive free meals at

school, Kids Cafe provides free meals and snacks

to low-income children after school, ensuring they

receive an evening meal. In 2013, our network served

14.6 million meals to children through Kids Cafes.

SCHOOL PANTRY

REACHING CHILDREN

AND THEIR FAMILIES

AT HOME

Our newest and most rapidly expanding child

hunger program, the School Pantry program

provides easy access to nutritious groceries when

parents or relatives drop off or pick up their children

from school. This is a convenient and cost-effective

intervention and an important way to reach families

who might not be aware of their local food pantry.

More than 21 million meals were provided to children

and their families through permanent and mobile

school pantries in 2013.*

SUMMER FOOD

REACHING CHILDREN

DURING THE SUMMER

During the summer, families struggle to provide

the meals that children would have received as free

or reduced-price meals during the school year. The

Feeding America network administers or sponsors

more than 3,000 meal sites as part of the USDA’s

Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), which

provides low-income children with free, nutritious

meals when school is out. In addition to SFSP, many

food banks operate other summer food program

models to make sure children have access to the

food they need to stay healthy over the summer.

The Feeding America network of food banks

feeds more children than any other charitable

organization. In 2014, we helped provide more

than 1 billion meals to 12 million children.

To ensure that network programs make real and

lasting progress toward ending childhood hunger

in America, Feeding America undertook a year-long

project to evaluate and optimize our Child Hunger

Strategy. Through this process, we learned that to

solve child hunger we must focus on bolstering

interventions that provide food for the whole family.

The strategy also prioritizes enhancing programs

to reach children outside of school, when they

are often most vulnerable to hunger. Programs

designed to feed children during this time, such

as the BackPack, Kids Cafe®, School Pantry and

Summer Food programs, have increased distribution

of food by 114 percent over the last five years.

THANK YOU TO PARTNERS WHO SUPPORT CHILD HUNGER

Special investments in child hunger were made by many generous partners, including: ConAgra Foods Foundation, The Dunkin’ Donuts & Baskin-Robbins Community Foundation, Morgan Stanley, Procter & Gamble and PwC Charitable Foundation, Inc.

CHILD HUNGER CORPS

A primary obstacle to serving more meals to more

children is lack of staff to expand existing programs

or execute new ones. To overcome this barrier,

Feeding America implemented the Child Hunger

Corps program in 2010. Feeding America deploys

Corps members to food banks for two years. During

the service term, Corps members work closely with

host food banks and community partners to expand

programs that provide more nutritious meals to

children in their community.

After more than 30 placements and measurable

improvements in meals provided to children, Feeding

America looks forward to next iteration of the Child

Hunger Corps Program to begin in August 2015.

INCREASE IN MEALS DISTRIBUTED THROUGH CHILD HUNGER PROGRAMS OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS114%

MORE THAN A THIRD OF CHILD HUNGER CORPS ALUMNI HAVE CONTINUED WORKING IN THE FEEDING AMERICA NETWORK AFTER COMPLETING THE TWO-YEAR PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM NOT ONLY IMPROVES ACCESS TO FOOD FOR CHILDREN, BUT ALSO SHAPES THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS IN HUNGER-RELIEF.

“ My term as a Child Hunger Corps

member was simply amazing. Feeding

America equipped my cohort with the tools

necessary to make an indelible impact at

our host food banks. The lessons I learned

from the experience have definitely carried

over in to my current role”

Reginald Young | Creative Partnerships

Manager at Houston Food Bank, Texas

The groundbreaking Child Hunger Corps

program was made possible by the strategic

expertise and support of the ConAgra Foods

Foundation. This year, the foundation renewed

their commitment to solving hunger by investing

to help families access the food they need for

their children to grow healthy and strong.

THE FEEDING AMERICA NETWORK FEEDS MORE CHILDREN THAN ANY OTHER CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION IN 2014, WE HELPED PROVIDE MORE THAN 1 BILLION MEALS TO 12 MILLION CHILDREN


EXPANDING ACCESS TO FOOD FOR SENIORS

Today, more seniors than ever before depend

on Feeding America for assistance. The Feeding

America network of food banks provides food

to 7 million seniors aged 60 and older. In addition

to meals provided through traditional food pantries

and meal programs, targeted programs such as

the Senior Grocery Program and federal CSFP food

distributions provided 124 million meals to seniors

in need in 2013.

The Feeding America network is equipped to help

food-insecure seniors cope with the difficult choices

they may face between paying for medical care,

housing or food. Feeding America celebrated Older

Americans Month in May with a public engagement

campaign to raise awareness about the issues of

senior hunger. This year, the message was simple:

We’re speaking out together to “Solve Senior Hunger.”

When disaster strikes, the Feeding America network

is on the ground in every community in every corner

of our nation—ready to provide food and emergency

supplies. Within hours, Feeding America food banks

are able to deploy trucks and logistical solutions to

deliver food, water and supplies to people in

devastated communities.

This year, food banks were able to address the

majority of disaster needs through existing food

bank inventories and local product sourcing.

Feeding America provided targeted aid in response

to seven local and national disasters, from landslides

in Oregon to tornadoes in communities across the

Midwest, to fill product gaps that food banks were

unable to source locally.

DISASTER RELIEF, RECOVERY AND PREPAREDNESS

THANK YOU TO PARTNERS WHO PROVIDE DISASTER RELIEF

Feeding America deeply appreciates the support of all disaster relief partners, including Abbott employees for annually packing valuable disaster-relief boxes for food banks in hurricane-prone areas, Allstate Insurance Company and The Allstate Foundation for continued critical general operating support of our disaster-relief program and targeted disaster-preparedness initiatives, Kellogg Company for consistently reaching out to provide donations of snacks and cereals in the wake of disasters large and small, and the Margaret A. Cargill Foundation for their commitment to strengthening the capacity of the Feeding America network in disaster preparedness, response and community re-stabilization.

THE LOSS OF INCOME CATALYZED THE LOSS OF THEIR APARTMENT AND FOR SEVERAL MONTHS THE FAMILY OF FIVE LIVED OUT OF THEIR CAR.

“‘Thank you’ is not sufficient for what the food pantry

has done for us. They provided us with so much more

than food—they provided us with hope. The food pantry

helped my family find a place to finally call home and

gave us food to fill our cupboards.”

Epiphaney and Humberto with their children | Washington, D.C.

COLLABORATING TO EXPAND CAPACITY

Capacity limitations are a primary obstacle to

providing more food to Americans in need. We

continue to strengthen food banks, food pantries

and meal programs to ensure each facility can safely

store and efficiently distribute larger volumes of

food and grocery items. Feeding America builds

capacity in a myriad of effective ways, from facilitating

annual learning conferences to staffing a national

team of compliance and capability officers that

work full-time with food banks to ensure the

highest quality standards are met.

This year, Feeding America focused on expanding

a robust new model to build network capacity: the

Capacity Institute. Through this model, small groups

of food bank employees from across the country

connect online and in person over the course of

one year to focus on improving a specific program.

Representatives from 17 food banks participated

in the Child Grocery Capacity Institute, which was

designed to offer support to members in improving

access to BackPack or School Pantry programs. The

inaugural SNAP Capacity Institute was comprised

of 20 food banks and was created to promote

and support SNAP programming by providing

infrastructure to collaborate on outreach goals

and strategies, identify best practices and share

learnings throughout the project.

THANK YOU TO PARTNERS WHO BUILD OUR CAPACITY

Special investments in capacity building were made by many generous partners. Capacity Institute investments were made in partnership with C&S Wholesale Grocers and the Ford Foundation.


As Feeding America expands efforts to provide

nutritious food to people facing hunger, mobile

pantries offer a versatile and strategic way to

provide fresh, refrigerated and frozen food to

communities where people live and work. The key

advantage of mobile pantries is that they promote

increased distribution of food in neighborhoods that

may not have adequate grocery stores or food

assistance resources.

Mobile pantries can also be the catalyst for new

community services and play a critical role in

disaster relief. Mobile pantries allow food banks

to distribute food and grocery products to

numerous sites on short notice and enable the

Feeding America network to be first responders

in times of disaster.

More than 46 million people depend on the Feeding

America network to help meet their basic nutritional

needs. We are committed to ensuring that the food

we distribute is handled safely. Stringent food safety

practices are vital not only for the health and safety

of the people we serve, but also to achieve our goal

to feed more people. A rigorous food safety program

enables Feeding America to obtain more food by

demonstrating to product partners that food is

thoroughly inspected and monitored every step

of the way—from the truck to the food bank to the

food pantry or meal program and the person in need.

This year, Feeding America completed our ServSafe

Food Handler Guide for Food Banking, a project in

conjunction with the National Restaurant

Association. We also held two Food Safety

Summits, conducted Food Defense Certification

for 20 key network staff members and distributed

14 food safety capacity building grants to network

members. Additionally, our third party food safety

auditor conducted more than 100 food safety audits

across the network to ensure the 3.3 billion meals

that we provide each year are wholesome and safe.

Special investments in mobile pantry distribution were made in partnership with Archer Daniels Midland Company and CoBank.


A multifaceted infrastructure is instrumental to

the distribution of billions of pounds of assorted

foods through a nationwide network to reach

millions of individuals and families. The Feeding

America network leverages technology to optimize

the supply chain and reduce the cost of capturing

and providing food.

Feeding America offers member food banks

technology solutions that range from a fully

hosted system to specialized programs for product

tracking and ordering, route planning, accounting

and customer relationship management. More than

75 percent of food banks are supported through

the program. As we expand solutions like this one,

Feeding America will continue to increase efficiency

and provide more food to more people.

THANK YOU TO PARTNERS WHO SUPPORT TECHNOLOGY

Special investments in technology were made by many generous partners, including Cisco and SAP.

HUNGER FIGHTING TECHNOLOGY

ROBERTA AND HER HUSBAND WERE GETTING BY ON THEIR PENSIONS UNTIL THEIR THREE YOUNG GRANDDAUGHTERS UNEXPECTEDLY CAME TO LIVE WITH THEM.

“We’ve come a long way since we first started using the

pantry. I’m grateful and thankful for what it provided in

our time of need. Now I’m in school for a second career

in medical coding and billing. I make sure to volunteer at

the food pantry every month with my grandkids—I want

to instill in them the value of helping people in need.

I graduate next May and I’m looking forward to the future.

With my new career I’ll be able to provide a better life for

my family. We’ll have the freedom to do fun, family things.

But most importantly, I’ll be able to help my grandchildren

get an education of their own. I want them to grow up to

be self-sufficient. They are smart. I know they’ll be okay.

They’ve been through some rough times, but from here

on out their lives will only get better.”

HIGHLIGHTS OF AN EXTRAORDINARY YEAR


MAP THE MEAL GAP 2014 Map the Meal Gap, an annual Feeding

America study that began in 2011,

provides food insecurity rates for every

state, county and congressional district

in the country. The 2014 study revealed that the annual

meal gap—the number of meals that are missing from

families’ tables each year—is 8.6 billion meals.

With a front page article in USA Today and other

coverage from Washington Post, “NBC Nightly

News,” MSNBC and “The View,” Map the Meal Gap

2014 garnered more than 700 million media

impressions within the first month of the study

release; more coverage than every other iteration

of the study combined.

The 2014 study affirms that hunger is everywhere—

it exists in every county in the country, including the

wealthiest. In only a few short years, Map the Meal

Gap has become an integral part of the way people

think about food insecurity in the United States.

Government, academic and partner organizations

use the information to inform programs, policies

and research.

SPOTLIGHT ON SENIOR HEALTHIn partnership with the National Foundation to

End Senior Hunger (NFESH), Feeding America

took an in-depth look at the intersection between

food insecurity and associated health and nutrition

outcomes among seniors. Hunger affects people of

all ages, but findings reveal that people age 60 and

older are particularly vulnerable to the negative

health implications of food insecurity.

Compared to their food-secure peers,

food-insecure seniors are 60 percent more likely

to experience depression, 53 percent more likely

to report a heart attack and 52 percent more likely

to develop asthma. The study demonstrates that

senior food insecurity is a critical public health

issue and deserves marked attention from

food providers, healthcare professionals and

policy makers.

UNDERSTANDING HUNGER THROUGH GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH

Addressing the problem of hunger requires a thorough understanding of the problem itself. Through research,

we assess the prevalence and consequences of food insecurity, as well as the role of the charitable food assistance

network in serving individuals and families in need. We also assess our approach to hunger relief through

program evaluation so that our efforts are built on proven, effective methods. Feeding America published five

studies this year, as well as our first peer-reviewed journal article based on the Map the Meal Gap research.

MAP THE MEAL GAP IN YOUR COMMUNITY: FEEDINGAMERICA.ORG/MAPTHEGAP

THANK YOU TO PARTNERS WHO INVEST IN RESEARCH INITIATIVES

Special investments and thought leadership in research initiatives were made by many generous partners, including: ConAgra Foods Foundation, The Howard G. Buffett Foundation and Nielsen.

Feeding America is grateful to transformational investor The Howard G. Buffett Foundation. Together, we have conducted landmark research Hunger in America 2014 and the Map the Meal Gap series, which have become integral to the development of solutions to hunger in our country.


HUNGER IN AMERICA 2014 This year, Feeding America prepared

to release Hunger in America 2014,

our sixth study of the Feeding America

network and the more than 46 million

people we serve. The quadrennial study is the

largest of its kind and provides comprehensive

demographic profiles of the children, seniors,

veterans, students and families that seek food

assistance from the charitable sector.

For the first time, Feeding America asked clients

about their health and military service, among other

new questions, to gain additional insight into how

we can better meet the needs of the people we

serve. Today, we know more than ever before about

how our neighbors in need cope with hunger,

frequency and duration of employment, housing

situations, the health of household members and

whether an adult household member was in school

or served in the military.

Hunger in America goes beyond statistics and

data—it helps us understand how and why people

use private, nonprofit organizations and government

programs for hunger relief, informs our strategy and

operational decisions, and informs policy decisions

at the federal and state level.

EVALUATING OUTCOMES AND IMPACT

Evaluation is an important systematic process

that Feeding America uses to better understand

and demonstrate how food-insecure families

and communities benefit from national member

programs. Feeding America engages in continual

program improvement by examining the efficiency

and effectiveness of programs. This year, Feeding

America completed program evaluations for both

the Kids Cafe and BackPack programs to ensure

that these programs continue to provide nutritious

food to children and families in need.

UPCOMING EVALUATION AND RESEARCH

In 2015, priorities for program evaluation include

sharing key findings and insights from a multi-site

evaluation of SNAP outreach programs and

supporting the execution of the refreshed Child

Hunger Strategy, which outlines opportunities to

serve more children in need. In addition, Feeding

America will focus on sharing results of important

research studies including Hunger in America 2014,

a study about food insecurity among Latino families,

Map the Meal Gap 2015, SNAP qualitative research

and several smaller studies.

ADVOCATING FOR A HUNGER-FREE AMERICAFeeding America’s primary legislative goal in 2014

was passage of a Farm Bill that strengthened

TEFAP and protected SNAP. Amidst significant

political pressure to reduce federal spending, we

achieved a major win for low-income families with

a Farm Bill that avoided deep cuts and harmful

policy changes to SNAP and increased TEFAP

funding by $205 million over 10 years.

Our advocacy strategy focused on educating

elected officials and their staff through briefings,

testimony, site visits and meetings; mobilizing the

Feeding America network and on-the-ground

advocates; building and leveraging national

and local partnerships; and utilizing national,

local and social media to show the impact that

Farm Bill changes could have had on food banks

and the people they serve.

Feeding America also worked in partnership

with a broad cross-sector coalition to expand

and make permanent the food-donation tax

deduction for farmers and businesses of all sizes.

Our goal is to enable more food to move through

the Feeding America network to people in need.

Feeding America’s Hunger Public Service

Announcement (PSA) Campaign highlighted the

work that food banks do to help solve hunger in

America, particularly for children. Creative consisted

of TV commercials, digital banners, billboards and

radio announcements by Laila Ali, Nick Cannon,

Kelly Clarkson, Savannah Guthrie, Reba McEntire

and others.

The campaign garnered $69.3 million in donated

media, an increase of 44 percent compared to

the previous year. Thanks to this record level of

exposure, more Americans are aware of the work

done by the Feeding America network of food

banks and the resources available to them.

THANK YOU TO PARTNERS WHO INVEST IN RAISING AWARENESS OF HUNGER

Special contributions to child hunger creative were made by C&S Wholesale Grocers. Thought leaders and partners Ad Council, Cutwater and Starcom helped create an engaging campaign, ensuring it receives maximum exposure.


INVEST AN ACRE FOR RURAL AMERICANS

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

Research conducted in the spring of 2014 found

that one in four farmers “care about hunger

passionately.” At Feeding America, we believe it is

critical to develop strong relationships in the

agriculture industry not only to secure good food,

but also to raise awareness of the prevalence of

hunger in farming and rural communities.

In partnership with Archer Daniels Midland

Company, Cargill, The Howard G. Buffett Foundation

and Monsanto, Feeding America has incubated

Invest An Acre, a rural hunger-relief advocacy and

fundraising platform. Through Invest An Acre,

farmers can easily donate a portion of their crop

proceeds to fight hunger in the communities where

they work and live.

Invest An Acre continues to be a highly successful

venture as new partners join us in empowering

farmers to help solve rural hunger. Since its inception,

the program has raised $1.75 million to provide meals

for families fighting hunger in rural America.

Feeding America is the strategic choice partner

for the growing number of businesses leaders who

are passionate about engaging employees in solving

hunger. Through our holistic approach, Feeding

America offers year-round opportunities to help

companies inspire their employees to provide

more food to more people in need.

This year, Feeding America implemented promising

skills-based volunteerism programs. Hillshire Brands

invited Taproot Foundation to design a pro bono

program that would allow Hillshire Brands

employees to use their skills to help Feeding

America and member food banks strengthen their

organizations. Employee volunteers worked closely

with food bank staff on supply chain consulting,

safety assessments and creation of a financial

modeling tool.

SKILLS-BASED VOLUNTEERISM PROVIDES IMMEASURABLE VALUE AND COST SAVINGS ACROSS THE FEEDING AMERICA.

THANK YOU TO PARTNERS WHO ENGAGE EMPLOYEES

Special contributions of time and resources to these programs were made by generous partners including Allstate Insurance Company, which celebrated its third annual Week of Service with nearly 5,000 employee volunteers at 40 food banks across the country. Ameriprise Financial marked its fourth annual National Day of Service when 10,000 employees, clients and advisors participated in 402 volunteer events in all 50 states. PepsiCo Feeds America marked its fourth annual national day of volunteerism when 2,000 employees volunteered at more than 40 food bank sites and PepsiCo donated product and funds. Through employee giving campaigns, such as the Walmart Employee Giving Campaign and The WellPoint Associate Giving Campaign, employee contributions to Feeding America were matched by the employer, which enabled employees to make a greater impact when supporting Feeding America. Corporations and foundations that generously supported Feeding America with matching gift programs are recognized on page 46.

SEPTEMBER IS HUNGER ACTION MONTH

Every September, hunger-relief supporters across the nation

come together for Hunger Action Month™. The goal of the

campaign is to increase awareness and encourage the public

to take action to solve hunger in America. From wearing

orange, the official color of hunger relief, to asking your

2014 FEEDING AMERICA ENTERTAINMENT COUNCIL


COMMUNITY HEALTH AND NUTRITION

Food insecurity is a major public health problem.

People who face hunger are more likely to report

poorer health and depressive symptoms, and have

higher risks for chronic diseases like obesity,

hypertension and diabetes. Particularly among

children, food insecurity increases risk for iron-

deficiency anemia, chronic illness, hospitalization

and developmental and mental health challenges.

While the relationship between hunger, nutrition and

health is complex, we know that many low-income

individuals struggle with all three. Feeding America

actively aligns with the public health sector’s efforts

to address diet-sensitive diseases, while fostering

expertise, partnerships, capacity-building and

evidence-based strategies to provide more

nutritious meals to more people.

This year, Feeding America was featured at nearly a

dozen national, regional, state and local conferences

focused on food insecurity, nutrition and health.

We additionally hosted a public hunger and health

virtual town hall and two related briefings with the

United States House and Senate.

Feeding America invests in network capacity

to increase distribution of healthy and nutritious

foods, enhance proven nutrition education

strategies and provide technical assistance to

collaborative public healthcare partnerships. Nearly

80 percent of Feeding America food banks provide

nutrition education programs and 18 percent have

a registered dietitian on staff. Some food bank

staff also work closely with health clinics to help

healthcare professionals identify patients who

are food insecure and refer them to the food

bank for support.

Feeding America piloted Together on Diabetes to

provide diabetes-specific food boxes, education

and support to help 1,500 people manage their

type 2 diabetes. Results from the three-year pilot

project demonstrated that clients were interested

in learning how to better manage their disease and

trying new and healthier foods. After six months in

the program, clients had better blood sugar control,

were better able to cope with their diabetes and

were more likely to take their medications as

prescribed by their doctor.

TOGETHER WE CAN SOLVE HUNGER™

At Feeding America it is our mission to truly end hunger. Today, we reach more people than ever before and

provide more food to more people than any other charitable organization. And yet, the rates of hunger hold

steady at the highest rates ever recorded.

We envision a nation where everyone has access to the food they need, in part because their need for food

assistance has decreased. To solve hunger we are working beyond emergency food assistance to address

the root causes of food insecurity by helping people achieve stability in key areas of their lives. Together

we can solve hunger and help keep our communities healthy and strong.

THANK YOU TO PARTNERS WHO INVEST IN COMMUNITY HEALTH AND NUTRITION

Special contributions of thought leadership and funds to community health and nutrition were made by many generous partners, including: Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, American Heart Association, Bristol-Meyers Squibb, National Dairy Council® and USDA MyPlate Partnership.


COLLABORATING FOR CLIENTS

To truly achieve our mission, Feeding America

has launched Collaborating for Clients—an initiative

designed to leverage our immense food distribution

infrastructure and expertise to build multi-sector

partnerships that will end hunger by helping the

people we serve achieve stability.

Hunger does not exist in isolation—people who

struggle with food insecurity often struggle to

meet other basic needs like health, housing and

employment. By partnering with organizations

that work across these four focus areas, we aim to

address the priority needs of the people we serve

and help them build a pathway out of poverty and

into stability.

Given the Feeding America network’s reach

into low-income communities and the scale

of our nationwide system, we are uniquely

positioned to galvanize government, business,

research, advocacy and charitable partners to

join us in more comprehensively addressing

the root causes of hunger.

This year, Feeding America elevated the

conversation by participating in the Clinton

Global Initiative CGI America 2014, engaged

potential national partners, including Goodwill

Industries International, and began building

national and local network capacity to engage

in this type of work. In the year ahead, Feeding

America will focus on developing a population level

outcomes framework, establishing a theory of action

for local collective impact, continuing to build food

bank capacity and determining a governance

structure for the collaborative initiative.

We cannot fight food insecurity on our own, or

with food alone. Through collective impact and

collaborative work with people and partners like

you, we can truly solve hunger.

“The diabetes programs have been a life

saver for me. Through this program, I have

lost 40 pounds, and feel healthier than I

INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY FOUNDATION PARTNERS

WHY I SUPPORT FEEDING AMERICAI believe there is nothing more powerful than a family gathering around the table to talk, laugh and share a meal. When families come together around food, they not only nourish their bodies, but also enrich their minds and spirits. I believe that every family deserves that opportunity.

When people do not have the food they need, they lack the foundation to build a life. Hunger is more than a physical need. It affects the way a family relates and can cause tremendous stress for parents trying to give their children what they need to learn, grow and thrive.

I built my business around the vision that someday families all around the world will know the joy and rewards of gathering together in the tradition of family mealtimes. Professionally, this has been my drive. Personally, I am committed to working with Feeding America to make this vision a reality for struggling families.

I have been involved with Feeding America and my local food bank for more than 20 years. I am so proud of the work we have done together.

A FATHER OF THREE, DEREK WORKS NIGHTS SO HE CAN BE THERE FOR HIS KIDS DURING THE DAY. EVEN THOUGH HE WORKS FULL TIME AND IS DOING WELL, BETWEEN PAYING FOR CLOTHES, INSURANCE AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES, HE REGULARLY COMES UP SHORT.

“When I first started raising my children, there were

a lot of times when I wondered where I would get the

food to feed them. Sometimes I’d only eat once a day

so I could make sure they had three meals. The pantry

gives me healthy food to feed my kids. Since I found

the food pantry, I’ve never had to worry about my

children going hungry.”

Derek with his family | St. Louis, Missouri

DAVID HAD A GREAT JOB THAT ENABLED STEPHANIE TO STAY HOME TO CARE FOR THEIR CHILDREN. THREE YEARS AGO, DAVID WAS LAID OFF AND BOTH HAVE HAD A HARD TIME FINDING STEADY, STABLE WORK SINCE.

“We first found out about the food pantry

while I was volunteering at my children’s school.

I had never ever heard of a food pantry before—

nevertheless been to one. We began volunteering

at the pantry and also taking food home to feed

our children. We get fresh fruits and vegetables

that would be hard to afford otherwise, and are

critical to giving my children the energy they

need to continue to do positive things like play

sports and succeed in school.

I know that soon our family will be out of this

tough time, but I will always be grateful that the

food pantry provided us with extra help when

we needed it most.”

FATHER TO THREE YEAR OLD ALEX, DAVID VISITS FOOD PANTRIES ON AND OFF TO HELP SUPPLEMENT THE FOOD HE PROVIDES FOR HIMSELF AND HIS SON.

“The food pantries are a tremendous help. If I didn’t have

places like these to help me—to give me food—I honestly

don’t know where I would be. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able

to take care of my son, to feed him.

I am so grateful I don’t have to worry about that though.

I’m grateful that food pantries exist to help me ensure my

son has enough to eat. My son is all I have. As long as he

has everything he needs, I’ll be fine too. ”
