2007 - 2008 Report to the Community

Rhode Island Community Food Bank

You Help us Fulfill our Mission

Dear Friends,

We are very happy to share our annual report with you. You’ll see that we have many accomplishments to celebrate. We also have many loyal supporters, like you. This report is one way for us to recognize your important contribu�on to our work.

In 2007, the Food Bank turned 25. Much has changed over the last quarter century. Unfortunately, the need for food assistance in Rhode Island has increased astronomically. Today, the Food Bank is the heart of a network of food assistance programs that covers the en�re state and annually supplies more than 10 million meals to people in need. Along with expanding our capacity to distribute food, we’ve developed innova�ve programs, from nutri�on educa�on to job training, and many new services for our community.

While the Food Bank has experienced tremendous growth since its founding, we remain true to our mission: ensuring that no one in Rhode Island goes hungry. The Food Bank is more than a warehouse. It is an en�re community, coming together, to give hope and sustenance to people facing hunger. Whether you donate money or food, or donate your �me as a volunteer or your energy as an advocate for the hungry, we depend on you to help us fulfill this mission and set a place at the table for everyone. Thank you for all you do to help us with this important work.

Sincerely,

Fr. Frank Sevola Andrew SchiffPresident, Board of Directors Execu�ve Director

Annual Report 2007 & 2008 - Rhode Island Community Food bank 3

More than a Warehouse, the Food Bank is.....

A safety net for people in need


or more than 25 years, the Rhode Island Community Food Bank has been feeding the hungry of our state. Founded in 1982 by community organizers who saw the need for a food program that would serve the disad-vantaged while lowering food waste, the Food Bank has grown steadily to become a central part of the state’s hunger safety net.

Serving as a food distribu�on center, the Food Bank channels donated, purchased, surplus and salvageable food and grocery products to a network of 285 qualified member agency programs that provide food to the hun-gry. These member agency partners are the core of our efforts, helping our neighbors in need through food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters, group homes, day-care centers, youth programs and senior centers. By making use of the Food Bank’s staples, these agencies distributed 8.3 million pounds of food last year, and are currently providing meals to more than 45,000 Rhode Islanders each month.

F

A C�� Y��: The past year has been one full of challenges for the Food Bank. As the economy struggled, and thousands of people across the state lost their jobs, more and more Rhode Islanders turned to our net-work of member agencies for help feeding their families.

During the last six months of 2008, our member agency food pantries reported a 20% increase in the number of people seeking help as compared with the previous year. According to the USDA, nearly 11% of all Rhode Island households, represen�ng 115,000 people, are at risk of going hungry.

The Food Bank distributed 8.3 million

pounds of food to member agencies

last year.

B�� F�� P�� T�� N��: Neighborhood Pantry Express brings highly-nutri�ous fresh fruits and vegetables directly to low-income residents in the high-need communi�es of Central Falls, Newport, Pawtucket, Peace Dale, Warwick, Westerly and Woonsocket. A pilot program was conducted in Providence in an�cipa�on of adding more sites in the city for 2009.

Neighborhood Pantry Express allows the Food Bank to increase the amount of fresh produce available to high-need neighborhoods without placing addi�onal strain on member food pantries to handle the highly-perishable product. The Food Bank sets up a farmers’ market-style distribu�on in easily accessible sites near food pantries.

From June to October 2008, Neighborhood Pantry Express made a weekly stop in each community, distribu�ng more than 357,000 pounds of nutri�ous produce to people in need, an increase of nearly 20,000 pounds from 2007.


he Rhode Island community is the founda�on of our work to alleviate hunger. Without the con�nued support of individuals, businesses, founda�ons, organiza�ons and schools contribu�ng funds, food and volunteer �me, the Food Bank would not be able to meet the need within our community. Each year, thousands of Rhode Islanders make contribu�ons and give their �me and talents to help those in need.

V�� M�� D��: Last year, hundreds of vol-unteers contributed over 35,000 hours of service to help the hungry. Each day at the Food Bank, volunteers are hard at work—inspec�ng, sor�ng and packaging food for distribu�on to our member agencies. They also collected food and financial dona�ons, assisted with special events, helped low-income families enroll in the Food Stamp Program, and gave their �me to programs like Neighborhood Pantry Express and Community Kitchen.

C�� C��: Food drives are an essen�al source of food for the Food Bank. Our largest food drives include Washington

Trust’s “PB Xpress” in March, The Na�onal Associa�on of Le�er Carriers Food Drive in May, the Food Bank’s Summer Food Drive, Scou�ng for Food during the fall and our Holiday Meal Drive. These are supplemented throughout the year by hundreds of smaller campaigns held at businesses, schools and organiza�ons across the state. In the past fiscal year, nearly 500,000 pounds were contributed through these com-munity efforts.

G�� H��: The 2008 growing season was the most successful to date for the Rhode Island Community Farm program. Comprised of seven farms dedicated to growing produce to help the hungry, each site is overseen by a volunteer coordinator who works in conjunc�on with the Food Bank. Volunteers oversee the prepping, plan�ng, maintenance, harves�ng and seasonal shut-down of the farms while facilita�ng the involvement of local volunteers. The farm run by the College of Environment and Life Sciences at the University of Rhode Island grew to harvest more than 100,000 pounds this past year. In total, these farms harvested 130,267 pounds of fresh, locally-grown produce for distribu�on throughout the state.

hile the Food Bank’s primary func�on is to serve as a food distri-bu�on center, we sponsor a variety of innova�ve programs designed to reduce hunger by be�ering the lives of our neighbors in need.

M�� N�� F��: As more and more Rhode Islanders turn to food pantries for help feeding their families, the Food Bank is challenged to acquire more food to meet the demand. In response, we have begun

to purchase more food, leveraging donated dollars to acquire highly-nutri�onal core food products. Core foods are items that can be the ba-sis of a healthy, well-rounded meal: fruits and vegetables, protein, dairy, grains, canned soups and stews. Right now, 78% of our distribu-�on is core food, which is up from 60% just three years ago. Having more shelf stable core food items has allowed member agencies to provide more meals to the people they serve.

N�� E��: Nutri�on educa�on, par�cularly the ben-efits of increasing the consump�on of fruits and vegetables, has been promoted for years with li�le impact on the diets of low-income households. Limited resources put low-income families at high risk for hunger and obesity. These families tend to consume more refined carbohydrates and fat because they are the least expensive op�ons available.

An innova�ve and hands-on program called Raising the Bar on Nutri�on, developed by Mary Flynn, Ph.D., RD, LDN, Supervisor and Chief Research Die��an at The Miriam Hospital, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Brown University and Food Bank Board member, has shown promise in helping low-income families eat be�er for less. Rais-

ing the Bar on Nutri�on offers food pantry clients eight weeks of nutri�on educa�on classes. Each class includes a cooking demonstra�on of a healthy, low-cost meal for a family of four. Par�cipants receive nutri-�on informa�on, recipes and the ingredients needed to re-create the meal at home, provided by the Food Bank.

A source of good nutrition and a brighter future

F�� -�� K��: Children are at higher risk for hunger than any other age group in our state. One in six children (17.4%) lives in a household that struggles to put food on the table. Research has shown that inadequate nutrition threatens children’s health, growth, and learning. To address this problem, the Food Bank operates 10 Kids Cafe sites in Providence and Newport in conjunction with Boys & Girls Clubs and local community centers. Kids Cafe is an after-school meal program for children at-risk of hunger, supplementing the Federal School Breakfast and Lunch programs. Kids Cafe feeds 600 children daily and provides more than 93,000 meals and snacks each year.

C�� C��: Working to break the cycle of hunger and poverty, the Food Bank offers a culinary job-training program for adults with limited employment skills. Community Kitchen is a full-�me, 14-week program in which students learn the skills necessary to gain employment in the food services industry. As part of their curriculum, students prepare hundreds of nutri�ous meals for distribu�on at Kids Cafe sites each day. Addi�onally, students learn valuable life skills to help them succeed in the workplace. During the past fiscal year, 40 stu-

dents graduated from the program and 75% secured employment within three months of gradua�on.



A voice for the hungry

he Rhode Island Community Food Bank con�nues to be an ac�ve advocate for the underserved of our state.

W�� E�� H��: The Food Bank’s Women Ending Hunger ini�a�ve brings together women leaders who have commi�ed their �me and talent to the issues of hunger and nutri�on. Last year, Women Ending Hunger volunteers worked with the Rhode Island Food Stamp Outreach Project to help eligible families enroll in the program. In part because of this effort, Food Stamp Program par�cipa�on increased by 5% from October 2007 through June 2008. Addi�onally, in partnership with Rhode Island PBS, Women Ending Hunger produced Common $ense Cooking, a series of twelve short television episodes that dem-onstrate nutri�ous, well-balanced meals on a limited budget.

R�� A�� T��: But for the Grace..., a one-man play based on actual interviews with Rhode Islanders facing hun-

ger, provided audiences a window into the lives of their neighbors who struggle each day. Through each performance, But for the Grace... challenged audience members to contemplate the larger social issues that contributed to each person’s circum-stance. Thanks to the dedica�on and talent of playwright David Eliet, and actor Bob Jaffe, But for the Grace... opened at Trinity Repertory Company’s Pell-Chafee Perfor-mance Center and con�nued with performances at Barrington High School, Brown University, Chariho Middle School, the University of Rhode Island and other smaller community performances across the state.

K�� P�� I��: This past fall, the Food Bank released its second annual Status Re-port on Hunger in Rhode Island. The report details the root economic causes of hunger, the challenges we face as the prevalence of hunger increases, and

recommendations for what is needed to address this serious, but solvable problem. To learn more about the Status Report on Hunger in Rhode Island, please visit www.rifoodbank.org/statusreport.

A celebration of community

n recogni�on of our organiza�ons’ 25th anniversary, the Food Bank hosted a special luncheon at the Rhode Island Conven�on Center in April 2008 that was a�ended by more than 700 community leaders, donors, member agency representa�ves and volunteers.

The event featured keynote speaker, Christopher Gardner, owner and CEO of Christopher Gardner Interna�onal Holdings. Mr. Gardner is also the author of the New York Times bestseller and major mo�on picture The Pursuit of Happyness, which chronicles his rags-to-riches story from homelessness to Wall Street success. His rive�ng, some�mes humorous and highly inspira�onal message energized the en�re room and helped the Food Bank generate $230,000 to help the hungry of Rhode Island.
