Second Harvest North Florida Annual Report

Page 1


A MESSAGE FROM the executive director People often say this, but I really do have the best job in the world. Every day at Second Harvest we get the chance to have a positive impact on someone’s life - children who wouldn’t otherwise be able to count on a snack, working families that have to put gas in the car instead of putting nutritious food on their tables, homebound elderly who are forced to decide between medicine or food. People are literally making choices like this every day. We are honored to help. But we will never satisfy the need or solve the problem of hunger by simply collecting and handing out cans of food. We know we have to create long-term, sustainable solutions that are closer to the source of the issue. So we have created two new programs that have already started delivering results and positively changing lives forever. Through our Community Gardens/Urban Agriculture Program, we are teaching those who live in the most food insecure urban, suburban and rural parts of our community how to grow their own food. It’s a sustainable way for families to create their own access to fresh, healthy food that fits their preferences and is readily available all year long. We are collaborating with local governments, social service agencies and community-based groups to get this done. Through the generous support of several community leaders we have created the Health Begins Before Birth Program in collaboration with hospitals and community organizations. Our registered dietitian works with low-income pregnant women on healthy cooking and eating, child care and more. In exchange for attending their monthly prenatal doctor visits, we provide expectant mothers with 70 pounds of healthy,

nutritious food and guidance every other week. Food is the carrot to change the behavior and lifestyle before the baby arrives, and it’s working. If we can continue to move the needle on health issues such as obesity, diabetes and infant mortality, the whole community benefits. Hunger is a community-wide issue, with related healthcare, education, economic and social implications that will require a community-based response. Come join us. Give, volunteer, host a food drive, be an advocate for the food bank. You can support our work in a number of ways. Take the pledge to help end hunger in our community in our time. As you will read here, together it’s possible.

Blessings to you all,

We know what the need is 40 million pounds of food are needed, at a minimum, to end hunger in north Florida, based on Feeding America’s metric of minimum pounds of food per person in poverty. More 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 don’t 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. Forty percent of those receiving food from Second Harvest are working families. More than

Fresh Food Programs More Fresh Food Second Harvest distributed 3,290,331 pounds of produce this year, compared to 184,00 pounds in 2009. As the result of community gleanings, contributions from the Florida Association of Food Banks, area farms (Blue Sky Farms, Barnes Farm, UF-IFAS, L&M Farms, Smiths Farms, Wilson Farms, for example) and our grocery retail partners (Walmart, Winn-Dixie, Publix, Sam’s Club, Target, BJ’s Wholesale, Whole Foods, Grassroots Natural Market), we continue to raise the amount of fresh food that is distributed to our member agencies.

and nutritional education to improve their health and the health of their baby. Second Harvest distributed over 18,000 pounds of food in 2012 to 30 pregnant women, all of whom delivered healthy babies. The program manager, who is a registered dietitian, took about 70 pounds of food every other week to the women’s homes, in addition to encouraging them to attend regular prenatal appointments. The overall goal of the program is to help reduce Duval County’s infant mortality rate.

SNAP Outreach Second Harvest’s mobile benefits outreach coordinator assists low income residents in Flagler County with applying for and activating much-needed SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits. In 2012, 824 people received $1,030,212 in SNAP dollars, an economic impact of $1,854,381. The program helps working poor parents and their children, in particular. In November, Second Harvest established a partnership with Barnabas Center, Nassau County, to provide SNAP education, information and application access. The goal is to expand SNAP outreach into St. Johns County this year.

Lisa Little and her caregiver, Rosa Colston, are regular volunteers at the Second Harvest North Florida warehouse on Jessie Street. Every Tuesday and Thursday they arrive like clockwork to take a five hour shift. Lisa is in a wheelchair, the result of a traffic accident when she was a teenager, but the warehouse is laid out in such a way that Lisa can navigate easily. The staff counts on Lisa and Rosa to keep the bread racks and coolers up-todate and organized.

Rosa explains how they came to Second Harvest. “We had been volunteering at another nonprofit but Lisa’s sister and I wanted her to have an opportunity through volunteering to meet more people. Lisa is such a people person.

She believes it is a blessing for her to be able to give back.
