Batson Chief Executive Officer Dear Friend of the Foodbank Thank you--a simple yet heartfelt way to share our appreciation for your efforts in support of the Foodbank. Through your investment of time, food, and financial support, the Foodbank served over 330,000 individuals in Southeastern Virginia and on the Eastern Shore through various programs last year. In a year unsettled by economic hardships, the number we are serving continues to increase. It is only through your partnership that the Foodbank was able to affect the community with such magnitude and continue to provide for those that are reaching out for our help. With the current economic environment, hunger is finding its way into homes that have never been touched by it before, and it continues to be a source of struggle for those who are already facing difficulties making ends meet. The Foodbank’s work is more critical than ever as we endeavor to meet the rise in demand for our services. With a population of 1.2 million, it is only by your support that we are able to feed 1 in 4 residents in our area, including 1 of every 2 individuals on the Eastern Shore. The following pages of this Annual Report will demonstrate, through stories and data, the positive influence that your thoughtful gifts have had on our community’s fight against hunger. We provided over 11,000,000 pounds of groceries last year through the 325 partner agencies in our service area. With every $1 that was donated, we were able to distribute up to $6 worth of food and grocery items. Your gifts were never wasted. The Foodbank’s steadfast commitment to its mission is only possible because of the community that surrounds us. You are the lifeblood of our organization. Without you, the Foodbank would not be here--and many more would go hungry. As good stewards of your generosity, we will continue to open our doors wider to a community that needs help by strengthening relationships and programs to ensure our neighbors and friends are provided for Until Hunger Goes Away.

The Foodbank also provides community leadership and education on issues of hunger. We have NAP credits available The Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP), a program of the Commonwealth of Virginia, encourages partnerships between the private and public sectors to assist the economically disadvantaged. State tax credits are provided as incentives for businesses and individuals. The program requires a minimum gift amount to qualify. For more information, please contact Karen Joyner, CFO, (757) 314-4547. Our Programs Warehouse Distribution Program: Except for USDA commodities, this program includes all food and grocery products from food drives, purchases, and donations from manufacturers and supermarkets. This is the heart of the Foodbank – where millions of pounds of food are sorted, boxed, and delivered to more than 325 partner agencies and programs. Plant-A-Row for the Hungry Program: Local gardeners are encouraged to plant an extra row of produce and contribute that part of their harvest to the Foodbank and its member agencies to use in their feeding programs. Food Rescue Program: This is an initiative to collect prepared and perishable food from 143 area grocery stores, restaurants, caterers, and discount retailers to distribute immediately to the hungry. USDA Commodities: The Foodbank is a Commonwealth of Virginia contractor for the distribution of USDA commodities to designated agencies. This source of food includes quality meats, fish, canned and packaged fruits and vegetables, rice, beans, pasta, and peanut butter. Mobile Pantry Program: This new system of distribution serves food to our neediest communities, while coordinating with our partner agencies and other social service organizations to determine delivery locations. This program is hugely successful in providing a means for individuals and families to receive food when they cannot travel to an agency, or their local agency is at capacity. Kids Cafe®: This national after-school program was created by Feeding America™ and is administered locally by the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia. It is a place where children ages 4 through 18 can go to receive free, nutritious evening meals in a safe, supportive environment. Over 25 Kids Cafes are currently operating, conveniently located in low-income neighborhoods so participating children can walk or bicycle to these sites after school. In our fiscal year 2009 we served 274,900 nutritionally balanced meals to 4,743 youth through this program. BackPack Program: This nationally-recognized program distributes nutritious food to children at the end of the school day, before weekends and/ or school breaks. Students are identified by school personnel as being food insecure by a variety of criteria. Over 72,000 children in the Foodbank’s area are eligible to receive free or reduced-price school lunches – a reliable indicator that hunger and food insecurity regularly threaten their respective lives. Justine’s Clothes Bank and Tasley Thrift Store: The Clothes Bank provides vouchers to needy individuals to be used for the purchase of new clothing and shoes. Our branch location on the Eastern Shore also operates a thrift store to meet the needs of the area’s struggling residents and to generate modest income for the Foodbank. Foodbank Growth The Need to Feed More People Each year, the Foodbank revisits our programs to ensure their efficiency. We pride ourselves on recognizing when it’s time to make a change, or grow our initiatives based on the needs of the community. At the beginning of fiscal year 2009, we realized that the economic downturn had affected many residents in our service area. Every day we are reminded of the difficult choices individuals and families are making to provide for their families, too often not able to provide the basic need of food for their loved ones. In the current climate, the Foodbank made the decision to build two new programs to better serve our community: the Mobile Pantry and BackPack programs. For many people reading this report, identifying with a need such as hunger might have been difficult a year ago. However, the economy has proven that no one is exempt. Many of us have watched family and friends lose their livelihood, or maybe it happened to you. Imagine if you were a child, relying on school breakfast and lunch, but dreaded Saturdays and Sundays because there was no food at home? There are many children in our region who have little or no food options during weekends or over school vacations. As research shows, eating properly is essential to the growth and development of young bodies and minds. So we started the BackPack Program. It seeks to ensure these youth have nutritious meals over weekends twice a month throughout the school year. Students are identified by teachers and guidance counselors who help us determine food insecure children. On Friday afternoons, kids are given a bag of shelf-stable food to put in their backpacks for the weekend. We are now operating 26 sites at elementary schools throughout Southeastern Virginia and on the Eastern Shore. The Foodbank rises to many issues of hunger within our region, but we realize that as the world shifts and changes, our programs must as well. This is why the Mobile Pantry Program is such an imperative Foodbank service to put in place. Last fiscal year, we recognized that our current programs were not able to serve the rising number of those in need. We began to operate Neighborhood Distributions, to reach areas within our 3,500 square mile radius that were underserved. Literally taking a truck filled with food, we delivered to these neighborhoods. This has grown into our newest initiative to begin in January 2010. The Mobile Pantry Program will distribute food in our neediest communities, while coordinating with our partner agencies and other social service organizations to determine distribution locations. Our ultimate goal is to continue working to break the cycle of hunger and certain consequences of poverty. This program is one more way the Foodbank is committed to the mission. In order to continue providing for each and every citizen who needs us, the Foodbank constantly identifies new methods of distribution and new ways to expand what we are already doing. With the help of some amazing funders and supporters like you, we can continue…Until Hunger Goes Away. Partner Agency reflects on the Nor’easter just weeks before Thanksgiving: “There was a tremendous Nor’easter that hit our area in November. Our area of Norfolk, Ocean View, was without electricity for three days. In addition to that, we had some of the highest flooding of any areas of Norfolk. In some homes, the water was 3-4 feet high. Our Church and Food Pantry were flooded also, and we lost all of our frozen foods due to the loss of electricity. We needed to find emergency food sources to serve the families in our immediate neighborhood. So I called our local Food Bank to see what disaster help was available, if any. When I called and spoke with the representatives, they were more than willing to assist us. Soon I received a return call and was told that I could come down and shop that day with no shared maintenance fee. With the food we received that day, we were able to feed over 50 families immediately. After that day of distribution our food resources were low again, so I called back the Food Bank. In my call for a shopping appointment, I was told that I could receive an additional 150 boxes of Disaster Relief food. With those boxes, we were able to serve food bags for over 100 people who have knocked on our door since. We are so thankful for the immediate response of those at the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia.” -Pastor Rodney Hammonds Benevolence Pastor, New Life Christian Center How does the Foodbank work?

School personnel would watch as they rushed to their free breakfast before classes began. Now that the BackPack Program is providing food for some of the school’s most food insecure kids, they are returning from the weekend with lots of energy, excited because they simply had something to eat when they were hungry on Saturday and Sunday. One student asked if his siblings could be added to the BackPack Program because his dad recently lost his job and there wasn’t enough food at home. On the evaluation report of a district employee at Kegotank Elementary School, it was noted that next time we send BackPacks we should also send a box of tissues for the staff!

This distribution was especially important because so many people needed help with holiday meals this year. The young man learned how close to home the issue of hunger is when he looked at the line of people waiting for food and saw one of his classmates and his family among the over 650 households the Foodbank served that day. Donor decision to donate instead of buying gifts this holiday season: “My friends, colleagues and I are fortunate to be gainfully employed and without the threat of our basic needs not being met. So, instead of giving them small gifts, I have decided to make the enclosed donation in honor of my friends, clients and colleagues in hopes that it will help those you serve to not go hungry this year.” -M.
