In the wake of the worst economic recession in 50 years, thousands of Rhode Islanders needed food assistance and turned to our Member Agencies for help. Many of those served at food pantries and meal programs never imagined that they would find themselves in this situation. How do you comfort the 75-year-old widow who must choose between paying for food and paying her heating bill, the carpenter who lost his job after 20 years of hard work, or the mother who can’t afford to feed her two teenage boys? We do our best to feed them and feed them well. The Food Bank distributed a record amount of food this year: 9.7 million pounds. We set and achieved our goal of ensuring that 80 percent was core food—nutritious canned food, dry goods and fresh produce—that can be turned into a healthy meal. And to fill the gap between summer meal programs and school, we gave out boxes of “kid-friendly” food to 10,000 families with children. Meeting the urgent need for food assistance is only part of our mission. We also strive to promote long-term solutions to the problem of hunger. To that end, we joined the statewide effort to help eligible Rhode Islanders receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP—formally Food Stamps) benefits that boost their buying power in the supermarket. We provided culinary job training and placement for unemployed adults through our Community Kitchen program. And our Women Ending Hunger group sponsored the Witnesses to Hunger exhibit, which provided a forum for some courageous parents who have faced hunger to tell their stories to our state’s political leaders and advocate for change. All these efforts were only possible because the community answered our many calls for help. We asked for your contributions of food and funds, we asked you to volunteer your time, and we asked everyone in Rhode Island, young and old, to do something about “Nothing” as part of our statewide awareness-building campaign. We asked you to care about your neighbors who are suffering and you responded generously. This is our opportunity to say thank you for your loyal support and to share with you some of the incredible work that you make possible. Sincerely, Fr. Frank Sevola President, Board of Directors Andrew Schiff Chief Executive Officer ri c o m m u n i t y f o o d b a n k ● A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 1 0 3 o u r work On the Front Line I f you ask Rhode Islanders what comes to mind when they think of Newport, many would answer a vacation destination. Hunger and poverty are words certain to be missing. But, Pauline Perkins-Moye knows all too well that neighbors in her community are struggling. A life-long Newport resident, Pauline previously served on the Food Bank’s Board and is currently a member of our Honorary Board. She is the Director of Social and Resident Services for the Florence Gray Center/Newport Residents Council, a Member Agency of the Food Bank. Her agency offers a variety of services for low-income people, including a food pantry, SNAP outreach, and an adult literacy program. Along with the Florence Gray Center/Newport Residents Council, there are nine additional Food Bank affiliated emergency food programs in Newport. “Most people don’t think about hunger and poverty in Newport, but it’s a very serious problem,” Pauline points out. As a community that depends heavily on its hospitality and tourism industry, the economic downturn has been devastating. “Visitors are still coming to Newport, but they’re not spending the way they used to, and that’s had an impact on jobs.” The recession has created a void that’s forced many to turn to food pantries for help. They are the new poor, the recently laid off, those who’ve had their hours drastically cut, and can no longer make ends meet. “The people I see every day want to work. No one wants to be seen at 4 Photo credit: DON Jagoe a food pantry, it can be embarrassing. But, you can’t eat your pride.” To Pauline, Newport is a close-knit community where everyone can play a part to ensure no one is hungry. “This is a village, and hunger is a serious problem. We can all be a part of the solution.” A4n n u Aa n ln u Ra e pl oRretp o 2 0r 1t 0 2 ● 0 1R0I ● C oRm I C mou m n im ty u nfiot o y df ob o ad n kb a n k Pauline Perkins-Moye, a Food Bank Honorary Board member and Director of Social and Resident Services for the Florence Gray Center/Newport Residents Council, sees the impact of the recession every day in the increasing numbers of Newport residents served at her agency’s food pantry.

For nearly 30 years, the Rhode Island Community Food Bank has worked to provide food assistance to those who have nowhere else to turn. As the food distribution hub, the Food Bank routes donated, purchased and surplus food to 185 certified Member Agencies with 257 sites across the state. Our Member Agencies—emergency food pantries, community meal sites, shelters, group homes, senior centers and youth programs—distribute food directly to people seeking help within the local community. Last year these programs dis- tributed 9.7 million pounds of food, feeding more than 55,000 people per month. Recession Causes Increased Need The prolonged economic recession left thousands of Rhode Island families in crisis, struggling to feed themselves and their families. People who were once self-sufficient found themselves in food pantry lines. This extraordinary demand was met with the amazing generosity of businesses, individuals, organizations, schools and volunteers from around the state.

They donate through the Sustainer’s Harvest monthly giving program, and have designated the Food Bank a beneficiary of their IRA in their will. W ill and Catherine O’Reilly Collette deeply understand the importance of playing a role in the well-being of our neighbors in need. As social activists they support organizations fighting poverty. “I’m a lifetime organizer, and it’s always been important for us to help those on the front lines working for social change,” explains Will. Will worked for 25 years in the non-profit realm, and Catherine is now retired from her job as a department head for a national labor union. Will adds, “Supporting the Food Bank is a very direct way for us to affect people’s lives in a positive way, which has always been one of our priorities.” 6 As donors through our Sustainer’s Harvest monthly giving program, the Collette’s generosity provides a consistent revenue source for the Food Bank. “You don’t have to give a huge amount to make a difference,” Catherine says. In addition to their monthly gifts, the Collettes, who do not have children, have designated the Food Bank as an IRA beneficiary in their will, creating a lasting legacy that will help future generations. Catherine continues, “It’s a great feeling to think we can help after we’re gone. You don’t have to leave everything to family. You can certainly put some aside for your community.” A6n n u Aa n ln u Ra e pl oRretp o 2 0r 1t 0 2 ● 0 1R0I ● C oRm I C mou m n im ty u nfiot o y df ob o ad n kb a n k Member Agency Partners Alleviating Childhood Hunger Through the Rhode Island Meals 4 Kids program, the Food Bank distributed boxes of high-quality, nutritious breakfast and lunch foods to 10,000 low-income families with school age children. Using federal stimulus funds, the effort provided statewide child hunger-relief at the end of the summer. During this critical time of year, a hunger gap exists between the end of summer feeding programs and the beginning of the school year, when children once again access the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. Participating in Disaster Relief Efforts When historic flooding hit Rhode Island last spring, the Food Bank played a crucial role in disaster relief efforts. Through our partnership with FEMA, and thanks to many of our Member Agencies, we set up 23 sites where the public could access food, safe drinking water and donated cleaning supplies. Boosting the Buying Power of Families in Need SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly known as Food Stamps) is a government assistance program to help low-income households pay for food. The Food Bank employs two outreach workers in the high-need communities of Newport and Woonsocket to provide eligibility pre-screenings and offer application assistance for this invaluable program. Last year, these outreach workers helped more than 700 individuals assess their eligibility for the program and apply for assistance.

B arbara Linnell and her late husband Jack have been long-time and generous supporters of the Food Bank. As parents, and subsequently grandparents, they created a legacy of giving. Adopted as a young child, Jack and his wife started a family when they adopted their daughter, Kristen. Now married, Kristen and her husband David remember vividly what the Food Bank meant to Mr. Linnell. “He always wanted to make sure we knew that helping others was extremely important to him,” David recalls. Throughout his lifetime, Kristen believes her father recognized the need to give back and help his community because he felt so blessed to grow up in a home with opportunities. 8 When David and Kristen’s first child, Steven, was young, they remember Jack encouraging them, “Now that you have a son, you need to show him the Food Bank.” A few years after his grandfather’s passing, Steven can point to where Jack has been memorialized in the Food Bank’s Pathway to End Hunger. “We are a family that realizes how important it is to help others,” Barbara, the family matriarch, explains of the legacy they want to continue. Like her Dad, Kristen recognizes how fortunate she’s been and makes giving back a big part of raising her family. She tells us, “In order to appreciate what you have, you have to be aware of what is around you. I am proud to be able to carry on my father’s teachings to my children Steven, 13, Allison, 10, John, 8, and Peter, 3.” A8n n u Aa n ln u Ra e pl oRretp o 2 0r 1t 0 2 ● 0 1R0I ● C oRm I C mou m n im ty u nfiot o y df ob o ad n kb a n k Member Agency Partners Providing Healthy Food The Food Bank is concerned about feeding the hungry well, because poor nutrition contributes to poor health. One of our strategic goals is to distribute more core food (nutritious canned food, dry goods and fresh produce, including locally grown food from Rhode Island farms). This year, out of a total distribution of 9.7 million pounds of food, 83 percent was core food, which translates into 12 million healthy meals for families in need. Local Farms Grow for the Hungry The Rhode Island Community Farm is a group of five sites throughout the state, plus the College of Environment and Life Sciences at the University of Rhode Island, which are solely dedicated to growing produce for the Food Bank. In total the farms harvested 45 tons of fresh vegetables last year. From planting the very first seed through harvesting the last bushel, the farms are run entirely by volunteers. Donating their time and hard-work, farm volunteers ensure that people in need have access to healthy, locally grown produce. Bringing Fresh Produce to those in Need Neighborhood Pantry Express served the high-need communities of Newport, Peace Dale, Providence, Warwick, Westerly and Woonsocket on a weekly basis during the summer months. By distributing more than 300,000 pounds of fresh produce through a farmer’s market approach, Neighborhood Pantry Express quickly gets nutritious, yet highly perishable food into the hands of those in need.

U ntil a year ago, Jessica Martinez and her husband had always been self-sufficient. A family of six from Warren, Jessica was an at-home mom with the two youngest children while her husband worked two jobs. The recession hit Jessica’s family hard. “One of my husband’s jobs laid off a lot of people and he lost his job. His second job was at an auto body shop, but nobody was spending money to fix cars.” Without much warning, the family went from two full-time incomes to one part-time. During the next six months, the family did their best to get by, often paying one bill one month and a different one the next month. “We were falling behind, but trying to do the best we could.” Eventually, they couldn’t afford it anymore and became homeless. 10 With help from Crossroads Rhode Island, the family was placed in a two-year transitional housing program. At about the same time, Jessica enrolled in the Food Bank’s Community Kitchen job-training program. For 14 weeks, Jessica trained for a career in the food services industry alongside nine other adult students, all working to better their lives. Community Kitchen gave her the skills and confidence she needed to succeed in the workforce. With her Community Kitchen certificate in-hand, Jessica is starting a new career path, but she’ll never forget the difficulties her family overcame on their journey. “I don’t want to think about where we would be without the Food Bank.” 10 Annu Aa n ln u Ra e pl oRretp o 2 0r 1t 0 2 ● 0 1R0I ● C oRm I C mou m n im ty u nfiot o y df ob o ad n kb a n k Member Agency Partners Cooking Up a Career To help adults find and maintain gainful employment, the Food Bank offers Community Kitchen, a culinary job-training program. Under the guidance of professional instructors, students train for 14 weeks, learning the cooking skills necessary to prepare them for jobs in the food service industry. In addition to their classroom curriculum, the program includes internships at local restaurants, hotels and institutional kitchens as well as valuable life skills workshops. Today, many of our graduates work in some of the state’s best eateries, along with hospitals, colleges and schools. Feeding At-Risk Kids In Rhode Island, thousands of school age children qualify for free or reduced-price lunches. To assist with dinner, the Food Bank offers Kids Cafe, which serves wholesome evening meals to children at high risk of hunger. In partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs and community centers, Kids Cafe feeds an average of 500 children after school at 10 sites in Providence and Newport on a daily basis. Meals for the Providence program are prepared by Community Kitchen students as part of their culinary training. Leading Nutrition Workshops The Food Bank offers nutrition education to food pantry clients through Raising the Bar on Nutrition. Conducted at Member Agencies, these workshops include cooking demonstrations and nutrition guidance. The program helps low-income families adopt a healthy diet by teaching them how to prepare nutritious and affordable meals. Participants receive nutrition information, recipes and ingredients to re- create the meals at home. Among those who completed the program last year, many continue to utilize Raising the Bar on Nutrition recipes for their families and report changes to their diet such as eating more vegetables and less snack foods.

Instead, make a donation. Give back.” Anne has been volunteering at the Food Bank since 2008. “The Food Bank is my main area of giving. As a family, we talk a lot about helping meet people’s basic needs.” Anne’s feelings about helping the less fortunate left a clear impression on her grandchildren. Matthew and Ellie Dunbar, who learn about hunger and poverty at school, took their grandmother’s words to heart, making their decision to raise funds to help the hungry an easy one. “We thought that just us giving wasn’t going to cut it. We wanted to make a big impact,” said Matthew. With help from their parents, Matthew, a 17-year-old student at LaSalle Academy and Ellie, a 14-year-old attending St. Mary Academy–Bay View, drafted a letter about the Food Bank, their efforts to honor their grandmother, and a list of people to approach. “We wrote to family and friends, people in state and out of state. We even got donations from our friends at school,” described Ellie. The hard work of this brother-sister duo paid off. “That first year, it was overwhelming,” said Anne. “They handed me an envelope, and when I opened it, it said this is what we did and this is what we raised. It was over $1,400. I wanted to cry.” For three straight years, the results have exceeded both Matthew and Ellie’s expectations. Friends and family have generously responded, helping the Dunbars raise nearly $5,000 to help others. “I’m so proud of them. It’s the power of two, doing it together,” said Anne. “You cannot deny a request from a child.” Food Bank volunteer Anne Dunbar’s passion for helping others inspired her grandchildren, Matt & Ellie Dunbar, to raise nearly $5,000 for the Food Bank in her honor. 12 12 Annu Aa n ln u Ra e pl oRretp o 2 0r 1t 0 2 ● 0 1R0I ● C oRm I C mou m n im ty u nfiot o y df ob o ad n kb a n k Member Agency Partners Warwick Boys & Girls Clubs of Warwick Bridgemark, Inc.

Raising Hunger Awareness Women Ending Hunger works to create long-term solutions to the problem of hunger and further the mission of the Food Bank. This group is comprised of women from diverse backgrounds who volunteer their time to educate the community about hunger, raise funds and advocate for policies to help people in need. In the past year, the group brought Witnesses to Hunger, a powerful traveling photo exhibit to Providence, as well as produced a reusable shopping bag, which is sold at stores throughout the state. Putting Hunger on Display Local Witnesses Sarah L., Marie W. and Charlene M. are joined by Women Ending Hunger Co-Chairs Tracey Cugno and Dr. Mary Flynn as they receive a citation from former Providence Mayor David Cicilline. Building Hunger Awareness Canstruction brings together local architects and construction firms to design and build large sculptures made entirely out of canned food. This unique event returned to Rhode Island last spring with a two-week exhibit in the Concourse of Providence Place. All 27,000 cans of food from the six structures were donated to the Food Bank. Witnesses to Hunger is a traveling photo exhibit capturing the day- to-day reality of low-income mothers. Created by the School of Public Health at Drexel University in Philadelphia, the Food Bank’s Women Ending Hunger group brought the exhibit to Rhode Island last year. To add a local perspective, we incorporated the photographs taken by four Rhode Island women who struggle to feed their children. This emotional exhibit is a window into the lives of women raising children in a world of hunger and poverty.

The campaign was produced pro-bono by NAIL, an award-winning advertising firm in Providence, and underwritten by the Citizens Bank Foundation. The campaign encouraged Rhode Islanders to do something about hunger by purchasing empty cans of Nothing at grocery stores across the state. In doing so, the campaign confronted head-on the pessimistic view that hunger is an unsolvable problem. As a multimedia campaign featuring online, radio, TV and outdoor advertising, Nothing increased the Food Bank’s visibility and raised awareness about the problem of hunger. To learn more about Nothing, visit www.nothing.org. A s the owner of Pinelli’s Café at Night, Bill Pinelli is surrounded by food. However, he’s acutely aware that for too many Rhode Islanders, the cupboards are bare. “I came from a poor family,” he’ll tell you. “We scrapped for food. My siblings and I ate a lot of beans and a lot of rice growing up.” Bill recalls how his mother did whatever was necessary to provide for the family. He often tells the story of how she worked nights, but he didn’t know it until he was 8 or 9 years old. “I’d go to bed, and my older sister watched us so mom could go to work.” Since getting involved with the Food Bank more than five years ago, Bill has played a key role in the planning of several successful events. He has also solicited donations from others in the hospitality industry, helping the Food Bank maximize the funds generated to help the hungry. And, you’ll always find his restaurant among the participants at the annual Taste of the Flower Show. Bill credits his upbringing—being taught to take care of others—for his passion for the Food Bank. To him, food represents family, and filling the most basic need that we all share. The fact that many families struggle to afford adequate food is unacceptable. “Your entire life is restructured when you’re hungry. Without food, you can’t learn, you can’t work. If you’re a child, you can’t play. It upsets me to think about all the families without food in their homes.” 14 14 Business and Community Support for Nothing: Beacon Communications and Providence Media Beef Films/Chop House Edit ClearChannel Communications Rhode Island Customer Engagement Strategies Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP G-Media & Associates Lamar Advertising Pamela Harvey Design Partridge Snow & Hahn LLP Rhode Island Broadcasters Association Mark Tribe Video Express Warwick Mall Thanks to our retail partners: Brigido’s Fresh Market Clements’ Marketplace Dave’s Marketplace Dunkin’ Donuts Eastside Marketplace Whole Foods Market Seabra Supermarkets Venda Ravioli Andrew Schiff, CEO of the Food Bank; Ned Handy, President, Citizens Bank, Rhode Island; Jeremy Crisp, Managing Partner, NAIL and Jewel Healy, Marketing Team Leader for Whole Foods Market celebrate the launch of Nothing.
