Hunger is one of the biggest issues facing our community. Its the first need. We have the answer.

Second Harvest impacts many nonprofit organizations that do great work in our community. We enable their work.

Finding food isnt our challenge. Growing our capacity and network is the most important thing we can do.

Food is the first need we have every day. When

we wake in the morning, we look for something

to eat. When we are hungry at noon, we take a

break and eat again. Now imagine what it is

like to wonder how you will find that next meal.

For thousands in our community that stress is

a daily reality. They do not know where their

next meal is coming from or when. At Second

Harvest North Florida, our mission is to end

hunger across the 17 counties we serve.

I am proud to report that in 2011 Second Harvest distributed more than 20

million pounds of food the equivalent of nearly 17 million meals. Yet it was

only enough to meet half of the need in north Florida. Despite tripling the

amount of food delivered to the community in three years, there are still

thousands working people, children, homebound elderly who are hungry

every day. According to studies, we need to distribute 40 million pounds of

food just to meet the current need. Each day that need is growing, and were

peddling as fast as we can.

The food bank is, in many ways, a logistics business. Second Harvest has

established a network of 450 agencies including feeding sites, food pantries

and civic groups that directly serve those who are hungry on a daily basis.

It is the partnership with us that allows them to maximize their resources.

In todays economy, every dollar saved counts.

It seems simple we get food, we sort food, we distribute food. But to move

more of it we need to increase our capacity, with more trucks, a larger

warehouse, more mobile distributions into struggling neighborhoods and to

assist our agencies in increasing their capacity as well. We have a plan to

create upstream solutions that address the issue of hunger rather than just

treat the symptoms. We are marching toward a capital campaign to build a

new facility that will play a key role in helping to create a sustainable food

system. We can improve the standard of living in north Florida one family at

a time. We are excited about where we are headed, but we need your help.

Last year nearly 4,000 volunteers donated more than 24,000 hours of their

time at the food bank. During the same time frame we raised $1.55 million in

private contributions from generous individuals, companies and foundations.

Without these resources, our work would stop and people would lose hope.

I just cannot accept that, and neither should you.

To those of you who helped us attack hunger in 2011 thank you! Because of

your investment, we were able to give hope to thousands who were hopeless.

If you have not yet, please join us. Together as a community we will end

hunger in north Florida.

Since 1979, Second Harvest North Floridas

mission has been providing food resources to

hungry people. Second Harvest works within a vast

network of resources and partners including food and financial

donors, a dedicated staff, volunteers that help manage the work load

and agencies that distribute meals to families and individuals in need.

Second Harvest North Florida is a proud member of Feeding America

the nation's largest charitable hunger-relief organization. It has a network of 205

member food banks and food-rescue organizations serving all 50 states, the District

of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The Feeding America Network secures and distributes

more than 2 billion pounds of donated food and grocery products annually.

2011 was a pivotal year.

Second Harvest

distributed 20,044,625

pounds of food into the

community in 2011, the

equivalent of nearly

17 million meals.

Since 2008 (7,650,409

pounds), Second Harvest

has increased its

distribution by

162 percent.

3,770 volunteers

contributed more

than 24,000 hours

the equivalent of 11.5

full-time employees.

Local donors supported the

food bank like never before

in response to the ongoing

crisis donating a record$1.55 million. Second

Second Harvest

rescued more than

20 million pounds of

surplus food in 2011,

and all but 25,000

pounds was distributed.

Geographically, the area served by Second Harvest represents

more than 10,000 square miles, including nearly 3,000 square

miles served by the Second Harvest facility on Jessie Street.

The NeedMore than 342,000 individuals in the Second

Harvest North Florida service area are deemed to

be food insecure which means they might not

be hungry, but they also dont know when they

will eat again. Of that total, more than 117,000

are children. In the 17-county area we serve,

136,269 people are in a class of working poor

with no access to federal or state benefits.

As Purchased Resources

At Second Harvest North Florida, we see the hunger problem

in our community each day. Many factors contribute to its

existence from rising gas prices, to pricier trips to the grocery

store, to skyrocketing utility costs and the collapse of the housing

market. Any way you measure it, life is more expensive today than

it was three years ago when the current recession began.

Data is now showing us how many people are affected. The

statistics are alarming.

More than 342,000 individuals wake up each morning not

knowing when they will find their next opportunity to eat. Among

that total is more than 117,000 children under the age of 18.

While these families and individuals might not be hungry, they

are considered to be food insecure, a term used by the federal

government to describe lack of access, at times, for enough food

for an active, healthy life for all household members. The fastest-

growing population in this food-insecure group is the working

poor households that have working members but cant make

ends meet, often times forced to substitute other bills and

expenses for money that would have been used to buy food.

In the 17-county area served by Second Harvest North Florida,

136,269 people are in this class of working poor with no access

to federal or state benefits and often limited means to buy food,

according to a national study released by Feeding America, Map

The Meal Gap 2011. The study indicates that 342,600 people

are food insecure in the Second Harvest service area, a total

that represents 17.5 percent of the areas population. Of that

total, 39.7 percent (136,269 people) make too much money to

qualify for federal assistance like food stamps, now known as

the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Even more troubling is that 25.6 percent of the areas children

under the age of 18 are food insecure (117,040) including

41,117 whose families are considered to be working poor and

dont qualify for federal help.

Retail donations to Second Harvest

reflect what consumers are seeing in

grocery stores fewer shelves and

more space dedicated to fresh

produce, meat and dairy around the

outside of the store, and more

coolers and freezers in the middle.

Why? Consumers are demanding it.

In addition, retailers are doing a

better job of managing their

inventories of canned and boxed

products. As a result, fewer of these

shelf stable items trickle down to

the food bank. More donations are

from the dairy, bakery, meat and

produce sections. Thats good for

nutrition, but it causes challenges.

To effectively handle this evolution

of food donations, more freezer and

cooler space is needed. And, as

importantly, our member agencies

need to have adequate cooling and

freezer space of their own to safely

handle and store what we are

delivering. Historically, food pantries

have only had to receive dry and

shelf-stable goods.

In many ways, its a perfect storm.

Consumers are focused on their

nutritional needs and looking for

opportunities to get fresh fruits and

vegetables. More of that is available

to us than ever before. But we and

our agencies have to modify our

business practices to operate in

a new way.

Second Harvest is on target to distribute 40 million pounds of food by 2015, but we are confronted by a logistics bottleneck. We

know where the food is, how to get it, how to sort it and how to distribute it. We also know where the hungry people are who need

our help. To achieve success, we must widen this bottleneck and effectively pair food resources with families experiencing need.

Bishop Lillie Blackshear answers her phone with an emphatic

God bless you. And she truly means it. As the pastor for True

Light of God in Christ Church on the west side of Jacksonville

since 1985, she works her ministry by feeding people

spiritually and nutritionally.

Members would say that they have friends in need, and

I started collecting clothes and food, explained Bishop

Blackshear. Then I learned about Second Harvest. I started

getting food from them and they helped me qualify for USDA

food distribution.

Today she serves between 300 and 500 families a month

including deliveries to the homebound. Many of the people

who come to her church for food have jobs, yet they dont

have enough money to take care of all their needs.

Many people take care of their elderly parents who dont have

Social Security or are raising children, she said. They dont

make enough money, so there is a choice between buying food

and medication.

People start lining up as early as 2 or 3 a.m. when she does

food distributions on the second Thursday of the month and

Fridays from 10 a.m. to noon. The fresh food comes in on Friday,

and the USDA food is usually canned goods, chicken and ham.

We teach them how to cook the food, explaining the recipes

they can use, she added. They may have never seen this type

of food, but theyll come back to us and ask for more saying

That was good!

How We Create Hope Giving Meals to Those In Need:

Through its partnership with True Light of God Church of God in Christ,

Second Harvest North Florida has created hope for thousands of its

neighbors in need in west Jacksonville. In 2011 alone, Second Harvest

provided 582,199 pounds of food to True Light of God, creating 485,166

meals for families, children and seniors who are experiencing hunger.

Purchasing that same volume of food in a local grocery store would have

cost True Light of God $966,450.

Second Harvest is

committed to providing

relief to communities and

neighborhoods where

food resources are scarce.

One way we accomplish

this is by delivering trucks

filled with healthy foods

and other key staples to

economically challenged

areas where residents

might otherwise find their dinner tables empty. Second Harvest works with a

member agency or a sponsoring group such as a church, school or civic center

to identify an appropriate distribution point and to recruit volunteers.

In 2011, Second Harvest coordinated 260 mobile

distributions, serving 61,620 families. In order to

meet the need in 2012, that number will double to

520 mobile events, two per day Monday-Friday,

throughout the year. Distributions like the one

featured on the adjacent page at True Light of God

help provide a bridge to enable folks to survive

difficult times. Mobile pantries feed homebound

seniors, expectant mothers and working families

who work hard and earn income but simply cant

find a way to make ends

meet. Mobile pantries also

ease the transportation

barriers that prevent some

families from visiting a

pantry to receive food

assistance.

These rolling food pantries

also provide an important

tool for Second Harvest to

continue growing its

distribution network

outside of the walls of its

Jessie Street facility. As

the food bank searches

for ways to maximize the

capacity of its 30,000-square-foot warehouse, mobile distributions have

become an important tool. More than 4.3 million pounds of food will be

delivered directly into low-income neighborhoods through the mobile

distribution program in 2012 almost 20 percent of the organizations

projected output for the calendar year.

How You Can Help

Sponsoring a mobile pantry is a personal, powerful experience

for all involved. Volunteers can engage directly with families in

their community that are hungry and will leave knowing that

they have made a difference in those neighbors lives. For

companies and organizations, it offers an opportunity for

community involvement and positive recognition.

For more information about how you, your church, place of

business or community group can sponsor a mobile pantry, visit

WeNourishHope.org/mobilepantry or call 904.353.FOOD.

A blue Second Harvest truck delivers 8,400 pounds of food (the equivalent

of 7,000 meals) to long lines of needy people. An estimated 237 families

benefit from each mobile distribution providing a family of four enough

food to sustain them for five days.

Thats what Healthy Start nutritionist Misha Biden heard from

many women who were part of the Azalea Project. These women,

who faced addiction challenges, were pregnant and receiving

care from Shands Jacksonville Medical Center. But if they didnt

eat healthy food, even more challenges were likely ahead

gestational diabetes, high blood pressure for the mother and

even infant mortality or childhood obesity issues for the child.

Second Harvest North Florida, Shands and the Northeast

Florida Healthy Start Coalition with the help of a grant from

the Wal-Mart Foundation combined to offer healthy food to

the women when they came in for their obstetric appointments.

At the height of the project, 70 bags of food were given out

each day.

Patients would say they needed a snack, and instead of

running to fast food or a convenience store bag of chips, they

were eating oranges, she said. We brought in Chef Jessica

Bright to do cooking demonstrations four times a year. Many

of our clients had never had some of the vegetables we were

distributing. We had to tell them how to cook them, so we

would also hand out recipes.

A lot of these women want to reach a higher level of education,

and its about finding that bridge to help them reach those

goals, said Biden. Many of our patients didnt have access

to this food, and it opened the door that it tastes good and is

relatively quick and convenient to eat.

How We Create Hope Distributing Nutitrious Meals:

During the 18-month program conducted at Shands Jacksonville, Second

Harvest distributed 222,268 pounds of food to more than 20,000

expectant mothers. That total was the equivalent of 185,223 nutritious

meals. In addition to a 10-pound bag of food received each visit, the women

also received important information about food preparation and healthy

eating. During this programs existence from November 2009 to June 2011,

Jacksonvilles infant mortality rate decreased significantly. The wholesale

value of the food provided to this program was $368,965, a return of nearly

300 percent on the funding received from the Wal-Mart Foundation.

How You Can Help For the 2,500 children who participate in the Second HarvestKids Cafe Program, nutrition begins and ends with the school

day. Breakfast and lunch are available free through their

schools, and a nutritious after-school snack is provided by

Second Harvest. However, during the weekends or extended

school breaks like Christmas, many of these children go for

days without food in their stomachs. Recognizing this problem,

Second Harvest began the BackPack Program in 2008.

For more information about how you, your church, place of

business of community group can support the BackPack

program, visit WeNourishHope.org/backpack or call

904.353.FOOD.

2011 Annual Report: Ho p e l e s s n e s s t o Ho p e 11

Hungry children cannot thrive. Yet more than 117,000 children in the 17

counties served by Second Harvest are at risk of going hungry each day.

They cant grow, develop and learn like other kids. They have trouble focusing

and getting along. They complain often of headaches, stomachaches and

other ailments. They fall behind in virtually every way.

Second Harvest is working to reach these children through three unique

programs dedicated to child nutrition Kids Cafe, BackPack and Summer

Feeding. All three programs make nutritious meals and snacks available to

children from low-income homes ensuring that they are well-nourished

and able to thrive.

Kids Cafe: This program provides nutritious

snacks through after-school programs. In 2011,

376,503 snacks were served at 50 sites

helping between 2,500 and 2,700 children

each month.

Summer Meals: During the

summer months, when

school is not in session, free

and reduced-fee lunch

programs are not always

available. In 2011, Second

Harvests summer meals

program supported 28

feeding sites, serving

106,530 hot meals.

BackPack: BackPacks are filled with child-friendly nonperishable food for

children to take home over weekends and holiday breaks during the school

year. In 2011, eight sites distributed 167,680 backpacks to 524 children.

SNAP Outreach: The food bank has also joined forces with the United Way and

other government and business leaders in Flagler County to help residents

especially those with children apply for and receive food stamp benefits. The

program began in August and has already made a significant impact by securing

nearly 200 applications, which have resulted in more than $361,800 in benefits.

The economic impact of those benefits in the county is more than $650,000.

The bags I got had mostly fruits and vegetables.

This helped me because I had gestational

diabetes, and I knew I had to eat better. Other

food programs like WIC had some fruits and

vegetables but only $10 worth. These bags

helped me eat more healthy foods. I liked

getting this food every week. - L.G., a patient who

delivered her baby on March 2, 2011, at Shands

The cost to send home a bag of shelf-stable food per child each weekend for

the entire 42-week school year is just $100 per child. The food is intended to

supplement the weekend meals both for the child and other members in

the household. Currently, we are distributing backpack bags to 600 children

for the 2011-2012 school year. But 1,900 other children similarly identified

as food insecure are going without due to a lack of necessary funding.

Second Harvest depends on private

support to fulfill our mission to end

hunger in north Florida. Philanthropic

dollars are the lifeblood of our overall

food bank operation, and at the same

time fuel the specific work of our

partner agencies to whom we provide

food. Gifts enhance our ability to

distribute more food in an effort to

meet the 40 million pound need in our

service area. We hope youll partner

with us, and believe the $1 = 7 meals

(700%) return on investment is one

that will make you proud.
