Loaves & FishesThe Power of Compassion2013 Annual Report
Dear Friends,
Last year, Loaves & Fishes was honored to present The Power of Community Annual Report, which focused on our core value of community and how it is developed by working together to achieve a common goal. While community is essential to our progress and success, compassion is the motivat-ing force that impels us to mobilize and act on behalf of our neighbors. For that reason, Loaves & Fishes is pleased to share The Power of Compassion Annual Report.
It is important to understand how compassion differs from sympathy and empathy when consider-ing why this core value is vital to our organization. Sympathy, while valuable, can sometimes lead to pity and distance us emotionally from our neighbors. Empathy helps us walk in our neighbors’ shoes and experience the emotions they are feeling. At Loaves & Fishes, we provide a shoulder to cry on, an open ear to listen, and a warm embrace to comfort. Compassion, however, compels us take this one step further: we work to alleviate the hardships faced by community members.
Consider our neighbor, Heather, a single mother who lost her job and was unsure how she would provide for her children or keep a roof over their heads. After assuring her that she came to the right place, our registration volunteers discussed how our job search support program could help her cre-ate a marketable resume and our computer classes could build her technological skills. Several vol-unteers in our grocery market gave her hugs while she walked through the aisles, and they directed her toward nutritious foods for her family. After the parking attendants helped her load her groceries into her car, they smiled and said “Have a great day, ma’am!”
Compassion is not just demonstrated by our incredible volunteer base, though. Our grocery partners ensure that Heather’s family receives the necessary food to nourish them. Community fundraisers raise awareness for her and her neighbors’ struggles. Our loyal donors fund the programs she needs to utilize until she gains self-sufficiency. Loaves & Fishes is a community effort driven by compassion.
Buddha once said, “Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion.” Compassion has been the inspiration for our work. When St. Raphael parishioners created Loaves & Fishes in 1984, it was in response to seeing others in need. Nearly 30 years later we continue to act on behalf of our neighbors to make a profound difference in their lives. We thank you for your many expressions of compassion, the critical component in our progress and success.

Faith Community
Thrivent Financial“We try to meet people where they are so we can teach and encour-age them to move forward towards a better future,” says Zac Larson, wealth advisor at Thrivent Financial. “In much the same way, I think Loaves & Fishes meets people where they are… without judgment on how they got to this point, Loaves & Fishes shows compassion, fulfills a need, and teaches people how to move forward.”
Thrivent Financial is a not-for-profit financial services company with a mission to strengthen Christian communities, help people man-age money wisely and inspire lives of generosity. While local Thrivent Financial offices have been advocates for and supported Loaves & Fishes for several years, our partnership has grown in FY 2013, espe-cially with the Cantera Financial Associates—Zac Larson, CFP ®, Corey Schmidt, CFP ®, and Jacob Schatz—located in Warrenville.
For example, Thrivent Financial was a platinum sponsor for Day With-out Hunger 2013, which allowed Loaves & Fishes to underwrite the costs of food and entertainment to ensure free admission for cli-ents and community members alike. Their involvement increased when Rob Kostelny, longtime Loaves & Fishes volunteer and Thri-vent Financial Community Advisory Board member, learned of our 100,000-pound food drive goal. He organized food drives in multiple local churches and contributed to the 379,034 pounds we ultimately collected from January to June.
Overall, businesses demonstrate compassion by partnering with Loaves & Fishes and benefiting our community. “It’s a privilege to sup-port an organization that is providing solutions that help people not only get through the day,” explains Corey Schmidt, “but it is also giving advice that allows their clients to focus on a better future.”
Grace Pointe ChurchIn last year’s annual report, Loaves & Fishes recognized our four faith community Cornerstones who have played prominent roles in our progress and success since our inception. This year, Loaves & Fishes is proud to honor a church that has also made a significant impact in our history: Grace Pointe Church.
Formed as Naperville Bible Church in a garage in 1964, Grace Pointe continually grew, and eventually the church purchased property on the corner of Chicago and Olesen, where its current Naperville campus stands. “Grace Pointe was looking for a way to have community input, somewhere we could make a difference,” says Tracey Cowart, Loaves & Fishes’ board member and Grace Pointe Deacon. “Loaves & Fishes was a natural fit and made it very easy for people to volunteer.”
Tracey has helped develop a stronger partnership between Loaves & Fishes and Grace Pointe. For example, as co-chair of Day Without Hun-ger, Tracey helped create and organize a Grace Pointe food drive that raised 1,540 pounds of donations! Moreover, financial contributions from the church have increased by 40% since last year. “Clients are treated with the respect they deserve and the attention they need,” ex-plains Tracey. “The Empowerment Programs have met so many needs beyond food. Loaves & Fishes has helped people prepare their taxes, learn computer skills, and sign up for SNAP; everything done at Loaves & Fishes is laced with compassion.”
Among its five core values, Grace Pointe values our local communi-ties. As stated on its website: “We believe that it is important to work in practical ways for the peace and prosperity of our cities.” By dem-onstrating compassion for our neighbors in need, Grace Pointe has helped Loaves & Fishes uphold the prosperity of our community. We thank Grace Pointe members for their faithful commitment.

Food DriveFo
unda
tion
Longwood Elementary SchoolIt is one of Loaves & Fishes’ goals to help educate local children about food insecurity and how they can help make a difference in the lives of their neighbors, and in some cases, their classmates. For nearly 25 years, we have partnered with Longwood Elementary School to help us achieve this goal through their annual food drive.
“Longwood’s giving spirit started when another Longwood teacher, Jan Barrett, was looking for a way to give back to the community,” de-scribes Linda Boddy, Longwood Elementary Project Arrow teacher, who currently manages the food drive. “Year after year, it is such a positive activity for the students, teachers and families of Longwood.”
Food drives this year brought in 744,905 pounds, and the Longwood Food Drive itself raised 2,100 items of food for Loaves & Fishes’ clients. The winning classroom, Rich Vine’s 3rd grade class, received a visit from Loaves & Fishes’ staff and Naperville’s Mayor A. George Pradel. “Longwood focuses on a positive character trait each month, and we hold the food drive during the month of March when we are focusing on the trait of ‘Giving,’” Linda explains. “Students learn about differ-ent ways to give in their classroom, at home, in the community . . . so Loaves & Fishes is a perfect match!”
Instilling compassion in the classroom is crucial, especially when considering that the students represent families who are donors, vol-unteers, and clients. Longwood students acting on behalf of other Longwood students—what an incredible display of our core value! “Compassion would make a great vocabulary word for our students at Longwood to concentrate on this year!” says Linda. “Our relationship with Loaves & Fishes gives students a way to think of others and con-tribute positively to their community.”
The DuPage Community FoundationLoaves & Fishes creates new partnerships with community orga-nizations and develops new programs to alleviate the hardships of our neighbors. “I’m sure that most clients initially visit Loaves & Fishes to obtain food,” states Barb Szczepaniak, Director of Programs at the DuPage Community Foundation. “However, in addition to getting that most basic need fulfilled, Loaves & Fishes continues to develop programs designed to help clients become self-sufficient.”
Our partnership with the DuPage Community Foundation began in 1994, when the foundation granted Loaves & Fishes $2,500 for a walk-in refrigerator, enabling us to offer fresh produce to our clients. This year, Loaves & Fishes received a $15,000 grant from the Communityworks and the Betty M. Bock Fund of the DuPage Community Foundation to fund administrative expenses for the new Community Workforce Training Employment Program.
Loaves & Fishes was also thankful for a $20,000 Spirit of Vol-unteerism grant, made possible by the DuPage Community Foundation. This incredible gift will help enhance the volunteer experience.
Foundations play a crucial role at Loaves & Fishes by funding programs that increase our capacity to empower our neighbors toward self-sufficiency. Compassion is a key component in real-izing The DuPage Community Foundation’s vision to raise the quality of life throughout DuPage County, and with compassion, it progresses toward its vision, just like Loaves & Fishes.

Dave Kelsch
Loaves & Fishes is fortunate to have many friends who enthusiastically share our mission with their friends, family, and colleagues, enabling us to create strategic community partnerships. Our extraordinary ad-vocate, Dave Kelsch, President of Advanced Data Technologies, has in-troduced Loaves & Fishes to businesses, organizations and individuals in his network to help Loaves & Fishes progress toward our goals. An unassuming, modest person, Dave is beloved in our community for his charitable pursuits and compassionate efforts to help people in need.
“I prefer supporting local organizations where an investment has a bigger impact in helping them fulfill their mission,” Dave explains. “Loaves & Fishes serves a great need in our community through an ex-tremely efficient organization.” Dave’s involvement at Loaves & Fishes has greatly enhanced our outreach efforts. He helped develop the Community Advisory Council and served as its inaugural chair. Com-prised of community leaders who share a commitment to our mission, the Community Advisory Council meets twice each year to provide in-sight regarding community outreach efforts and client empowerment.
Aside from his advocacy, Dave also provides financial support to help empower clients and expand our services and capacity. For example, Dave recently provided funding toward the purchase of a refrigerated truck that will markedly increase our food recovery efforts in DuPage County. “Providing food for those who cannot afford this most basic need in a very dignified way is clearly how Loaves & Fishes’ clients are served,” says Dave. Compassion motivates our neighbors to act, and we thank Dave for taking a lead role in mobilizing our community and assisting our clients.
Casey’s FoodsFood recovery is essential to our community because so many of our neighbors are food insecure. On November 18, 2012, Loaves & Fishes was featured in a segment on CBS Sunday Morning rec-ognizing our innovative food recovery efforts. According to the Natural Resource Defense Council, Americans throw away $165 billion worth of food every year, an average of 20 pounds per person every month. Our established partnerships with local gro-cers, like Casey’s Foods, have helped Loaves & Fishes reduce food waste as well as provide a broad array of healthy and diverse food options. Last year, we received 1,947,141 pounds of food from our grocery partners!
“I got involved with Loaves & Fishes years ago,” says Dan Casey, owner of Casey’s Foods. “It helps provide a fundamental human need to people who are challenged to provide with their resourc-es. It seems natural for us, being in the food business.” Casey’s Foods has been instrumental to our success throughout the years, providing 5,027 pounds of food last year alone. Casey’s partner-ship has helped to make it possible for Loaves & Fishes to afford baby food and formula, critical yet expensive commodities nec-essary for our youngest clients to thrive and develop normally. Moreover, Dan and his team have helped secure holiday meals for client families, fundraise for special initiatives and spread the Loaves & Fishes message.
By receiving groceries at Loaves & Fishes, the average family saves approximately $528 per month, which is redirected toward other household expenses and ultimately into the local economy. We are grateful for our food recovery partners, whose compassion nourishes our neighbors.

Volunteer
Jim and Patrice LiaSometimes compassion stems from personal experience with hard-ship. For Jim and Patrice Lia, our phenomenal volunteers, this is the case. “When first married, Jim and I were on food stamps,” explains Pa-trice. “It is demeaning to go to the grocery store with food stamps, but we know there was a reason for going through rough patches.” If you haven’t seen the Lias in action at Loaves & Fishes, you have most likely seen them featured in the media this year.
Whether leading clients, volunteers and staff in the Human Race or creating a new children’s birthday initiative, the Lias have been a mo-tivational force. They also coordinated all the stage performances at Day Without Hunger and managed the event schedule. When asked to pinpoint the highlight of the year, it was a compassionate moment that surfaced.
“At the Human Race, we were standing at the starting point, and I was standing alongside a client,” Patrice describes. “I got choked up listen-ing to the National Anthem, and she took my hand and held it. This was a very special day.” After learning about the Human Race, the Lias quickly took charge. They were instrumental in getting clients signed up for the race and finding sponsors for these clients. Patrice even trained with any interested volunteers and clients in the former Key Wester parking lot!
The Lias are compassionate leaders who make it their goal to provide for their neighbors. “If we are out in the community, clients will walk up and give us a hug. They aren’t embarrassed. That is the welcom-ing attitude that Loaves & Fishes conveys,” says Jim. We thank all our volunteers for helping to reinforce the compassionate atmosphere of Loaves & Fishes wherever they go.
Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot“I think the compassion shown by Loaves & Fishes starts at intake,” ex-plains Dan Gibbons, founder of the Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot Founda-tion. “Realizing that the client asking for help probably has self-esteem issues, the volunteers at intake help remove the anxiety involved in the initial step.” For Dan, compassion began before anyone asked him for help.
In 1983, Dan was listening to the radio and heard how much money was being spent on fireworks in Chicago despite so many people going to bed hungry. He soon learned that a similar issue existed in DuPage County, so he started working with the Good Neighbor Food Drive. After brainstorming with friends, it was decided that Dan would organize a 5K Turkey Trot to raise money for families in need and pro-vide them with food for the holidays. In 1984, the very first Dan Gib-bons Turkey Trot debuted on Thanksgiving morning.
Fast forward to 2011: Dan began partnering with Loaves & Fishes when his organization made a decision to keep all funds raised from the event in DuPage County. “Mary Keating (DuPage County Director of Human Services) highly recommended Loaves & Fishes as one of the major emergency food providers in the county,” says Dan. “I was impressed with Loaves & Fishes and made a recommendation to my board to include Loaves & Fishes as a beneficiary of funds.”
Organizations like the Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot Foundation greatly benefit our neighbors because they raise essential funds as well as awareness. Thanks to Dan and all the Turkey Trot participants for com-passionately supporting Loaves & Fishes in our vision to end hunger in our community!
