Tragically, approximately 400,000 residents of the DC metropolitan area experience or are at risk for hunger. According to the US Census Bureau, the national poverty rate in 2003 was 12.5 percent, compared to 20 percent in the District of Columbia.

other special events. Critical to this cash-strapped population, the market is certified as part of the Farmers Market Nutrition Program, enabling low-income families and seniors to use federal vouchers for purchases. The market also is equipped to accept food stamps in the form of electronic benefit transfers.

FARMER’S MARKET "I hope that in the midst of the facts and statistics, no one misses the point of this resolution — that in a land of plenty, 13 million children still go to bed hungry. A country which is as blessed as ours needs to do better." REPRESENTATIVE FRANK WOLF (R-VA)

he juicy sweetness of a soft peach; the succulence of an ear of corn — these simple pleasures from nature’s bounty are out of reach for many living in the Capital Area. Just one major grocery store serves the 200,000 people who live in Washington’s southeast corner, Wards 7 and 8. More often than not, residents here must rely on take-out restaurants and corner stores for their food. That’s an expensive proposition, and one that offers limited fare and little fresh produce.

Most of the hungry are homeless and unemployed. In fact, just 18 percent of those suffering from hunger are homeless—and only 3.3 percent of those served by Capital Area Food Bank partner agencies. In metropolitan Washington, 60 percent of households receiving emergency food aid include at least one adult family member who works.

Public-assistance programs such as food stamps adequately address the hunger problem. More than one quarter of the people who rely on food pantries and soup kitchens are food stamp recipients. And nearly three iquarters of Food Bank clients who receive food stamps report that they do not last an entire month.

20 meals per week SUZANNE OSGOOD IS A WORKING HOMELESS WOMAN LIVING in Washington, DC. “Right now I’m answering the phone at the National Coalition for the Homeless … I get $25 a week.” She visits The Dinner Program for Homeless every night from 4 to 7 and says, “It’s been survival for me. I couldn’t survive without this place. That’s the reason that I’ve stayed in DC — in addition to the fact that I have been able to get some work.”

In an effort to remedy this situation, the Capital Area Food Bank organized the Anacostia Farmers Market in 1998. Each Wednesday evening, through the summer and fall, small 6

The Claggett Farm, a cooperative in Upper Marlboro, MD, that grows chemical-free produce through the From the Ground Up program, is one participant in the Anacostia Market. Other small farmers — who often struggle to remain profitable — welcome the access to new buyers for their crops that the market offers.

CAPITAL AREA FOOD BANK LEAD PROGRAMS KIDS CAFÉ Kids Café is our after-school meal program for children. Many children eat breakfast and lunch at school, but may not have dinner available at home. Kids Café provides a hearty, healthy snack for these children. Currently, there are 49 sites serving over 2000 children.

KIDS CAFÉ

LOGO

OPERATION FRONTLINE Operation Frontline is a cooking, nutrition and meal planning program. Sponsored by Share Our Strength, the courses are taught by professional chefs and nutritionist volunteers.

The Capital Area Food Bank’s Kids Café program makes sure that doesn’t happen. It delivers afterschool healthy snacks or meals to 48 sites serving 2,000 children every day.

THE BROWN BAG PROGRAM The Brown Bag Program provides nutritious supplemental food for low-income seniors and families on a monthly basis through agencies throughout the Washington Metropolitan Area. This program currently serves 2000 individuals at 32 sites. FOOD FOR KIDS Food for Kids is a weekend bag program for children who may not have access to food outside of school meals. Many children are dependent upon free and reduced price breakfast and lunch but may not have food available to them on weekends. This program is designed to help ease hunger over weekends. Currently more than 1000 children receive 3–4 meals each weekend through this program.

PROGRAMS

SISTER HOOK-UP Sister Hook-Up links member agencies with local Giant and Safeway stores for direct donations of perishable food items.

SAYS SENIOR CITIZEN TIMOTHY HILLY OF THE CLARIDGE TOWERS COOPERATIVE.

“For them, especially, these bags are really a big help.”

On weekends and in the summer, when school is out, other Food Bank programs kick in to ensure children do not go hungry.

FROM THE GROUND UP From the Ground Up is a cooperative farm project between the CAFB and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation where chemical-free produce is grown at Clagett Farm in Upper Marlboro, Maryland and distributed to underserved communities in the Washington Metro Area.

ometimes, when money is especially tight, a month can seem to stretch an awfully long time. The rent is due, the utility bill is overdue, the pantry is bare and the paycheck or assistance check is a week or two away. For the many local residents in this situation, the Capital Area Food Bank’s Brown Bag program is a godsend.

THE ANACOSTIA FARMERS MARKET The Anacostia Farmers Market provides healthy, fresh produce to SE, D.C. where only one grocery store serves 200,000 residents. Nutrition information and cooking demonstrations area regular elements of market days. The market is located at Peace Park, on 14th St., SE between U and V streets and is open on Wednesdays from May to November.

The staples like rice, beans, canned meat and potatoes that are delivered once a month to qualified seniors and lowincome families mean the difference between sustenance and subsistence. The program, supplied solely through food drives and salvage, currently serves 2,086 households in the District, Maryland and northern Virginia. 8

Working with partner agencies, the program goes even further: arranging field trips to farms and markets, and teaching kids about nutrition and balanced diets.

PRODUCE FOR PEOPLE Produce for People is a fresh food initiative created by the CAFB to collect and distribute surplus produce to people who may not otherwise have access to it. In 2003, the CAFB distributed over 6 million pounds of fresh produce.

“Some people in our building don’t get government checks,”

Proper nutrition is important for children to thrive physically and mentally, yet thousands in the Capital Area region are at risk for hunger. For them, school is not only a place to learn, it’s their only guarantee of a wholesome meal. When school lets out, they may go home to nothing else to eat at all.

ic audience, it works variously to correct misperceptions, inform policymakers, improve service to the poor and recruit member agencies and volunteers. Programs geared toward at-risk populations teach both nutrition and life skills: how to shop wisely, cook economic and wholesome meals, and budget on a fixed income. Operation Frontline, for example, employs volunteer chefs and nutritionists to coach parents and children. Much more than mere meal preparation advice, the program contributes to improved health, school performance and behavior among children, and to selfesteem and self-sufficiency among adults. The Food Stamp Initiative, in which volunteers help people apply for and obtain federal assistance, not only increases the purchasing power of families and senior citizens, but eases the burden on other social service organizations and frees up more food and resources for the community.

EDUCATION

In our service area, we estimate that 100,000 children are at risk of hunger– 35,000 children in the District alone, 1 in 3; in suburban Maryland, 1 in 4; and in Northern Virginia, 1 in 5. (Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2000).

The poverty rate for children under age 18 in Washington, D.C. is 35.2 percent, compared to 17.6 percent nationally. (Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Income, Poverty and Health Insurance in the United States: 2003)

“Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm….As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.”

Approximately 100 participants of all ages receive nutrition education and other life skills training through our Children and Nutrition Education programs each month.

AUDREY HEPBURN

is such an important part of the Capital Area Food Bank’s focus. SHEILA MANSFIELD IS CURRENTLY UNEMPLOYED BECAUSE OF A SERIOUS ILLNESS. Her husband works “as many hours as he can… I’d say about 57,” and makes about $700 a week. “Believe it or not, food for this family runs at least $200 a week…I don’t have nothin’ in my cabinets today…It’s expensive — I got my water bill — it was $168 for three months. The mortgage payment just went up to $1,500 a month. The electric bill — that could be a surprise — it’s never under $150.”

In fact, the Food Bank takes every opportunity to incorporate education into its programs, whether the audience is its member agencies, politicians, children, the community or the hungry themselves.

FINANCIALS To the Board of Directors Capital Area Food Bank, Inc., Washington, D.C. We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of the Capital Area Food Bank, Inc. as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of activities and changes in net assets, functional expenses and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of the Capital Area Food Bank, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,the financial position of the Capital Area Food Bank, Inc. as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and its changes in net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated September 3, 2004 on our consideration of the Capital Area Food Bank, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.
