CONNECTIVITY: A ‘NEW VISION OF
How
’
Although the reasons for hunger are complicated, feeding a family in need is not. Because of your help and generosity, last year we were able to provide 41 million meals to children, seniors and hard-working adults who had nowhere else to turn. We served nearly a quarter of a million people every month last year. It’s staggering to know that one in every 10 people in Silicon Valley and on the Peninsula received at least some of their food from the Food Bank.
Last year I wrote to you about our vision to end local hunger –

How
Has The Face of Hunger Changed?
The face of hunger could be closer than you think. It could be your neighbor, your co-worker, or a friend.
The majority of those we serve are children and seniors. The working poor come in all shapes and sizes. Many are educated and own their homes. They are

people who never imagined they would find themselves standing in line for a meal. Many of us are only an unexpected illness or lost job away from counting ourselves among the latest hunger statistics.

How
We’re Delivering Healthier Meals
Thanks to a generous gift from Cypress Semiconductor, we added “more walls” with our brand new 75,000-square-foot facility, Cypress Center. This dedicated produce hub, coupled with a retooled produce distribution model
and
streamlined
operations,
will enable the Food Bank to increase the quantity, variety and freshness of produce we distribute to the community. This facility: • Nearly doubles the Food Bank’s operating space and quadruples the refrigeration area • More than doubles loading capacity, through nine loading docks • Nearly doubles our dedicated volunteer workspace
“The true impact of this building goes far beyond the walls of the facility and reaches every home, playground and business today and for generations to come.” – Kathy Jackson Chief Executive Officer
More than half of the food we distribute is fresh produce.

How
We’re Connecting People to Local Meals
Hunger is a big problem in our community but the good news is, it’s solvable. There’s plenty of food in our region. We’re working to end local hunger by connecting our neighbors in need to nutritious food where they live, learn, work and play.
LIVE We make sure her family is connected to effective nutrition programs to keep food on the table every day. And we educate the entire family on how to buy and cook nutritious, low-cost meals with food from Second Harvest.
LEARN We make sure he eats every school day so he’s ready and eager to learn. We also have many distributions at schools throughout the area so parents can pick up groceries, and their kids, all in the same trip.
WORK Low-income adults can conveniently use an “EBT Card,” a monthly electronic benefits card issued through CalFresh (formerly know as food stamps), to buy food at many markets and food stores close to where they live or work.

How
CalFresh Helps EVERYONE Where They Live, Learn, Work and Play
CalFresh (food stamps) is an important part of the solution to our community’s hunger crisis and a necessary safety net for low-income individuals and families struggling during tough times. The benefits also help local economies by generating $1.79 in economic activity for every $1 of CalFresh money spent in our region through the support of local businesses. C alifornia has the
lowest food stamp participation rate
in the nation.

How
Giving Enriches My Life While Kristen and I occasionally debate the merits of different philanthropic and political organizations we support, we are completely unanimous in our view that Second Harvest provides an essential service in our community and does so efficiently and effectively. It’s the one check we never hesitate to write. And when we learned that Bruce Springsteen was endorsing the organization through a contribution of his own - backstage passes to his show in San Jose - we immediately bought tickets for Second Harvest’s “lottery.” Having been fans since our college days, we couldn’t pass up an opportunity to see The Boss live while helping out our favorite charity. We
were thrilled to win the passes and to spend a few minutes with Bruce after the concert, but even without that experience, we would have been happy to know our contribution was being put to such good use. Our thanks to Bruce and to Second Harvest for making it so easy, and enjoyable, to help others in need. – Doug and Kristen Edwards
55% of the funding to Second Harvest comes from caring individuals. *See page 23 for other Food Bank funding sources

Our family has supported the Food Bank and its commitment to people in need for over twenty years. One of our son’s earliest memories is driving around during the holidays, picking up barrels of food at churches and schools, and taking that food to Second Harvest. Experiences like that reinforced the importance of giving back to the community for all our children. We believe that providing food is the best way to change the lives of those in need, and we know that our gifts to the Food Bank will help thousands of people get the food they need to go to school, go to work, and stay healthy. – Jodi and Drew Starbird

“At every turn, Second Harvest is there creating solutions that work. To more efficiently distribute fresh produce, they have been setting up “produce hubs” at larger organizations so smaller agencies like ours don’t have to travel far to pick up what we need.

How
Angela’s Future Just Got Brighter
I have 3 sisters. My parents both work but they don’t get paid very much. My dad has to work at night and he works a lot. With the rent, we can’t pay for food. It’s hard for us. There was this time when I came home from school. I was really hungry, but there wasn’t anything to eat. I was really starving. When you’re hungry it feels bad. All I wanted was some fruit, but there was nothing there. I was kind of worried. I really love the food from the Food Bank. It’s great because now we get to eat and pay the rent. I don’t worry as much and get to eat when I come home from school. My favorite food is a turkey sandwich with toasted cheese. I put a pear in there when my mom’s not looking! Some of my friends don’t like pears and apples so I say “Try it and see if you like it.” And they do! I like to cut the sandwich in half and share it with my friends. I like to share my food with other people who don’t have food. I know that giving some to them, still means that I can have some too. We all get to eat! I like sharing because I feel full and they feel full. I feel thankful that I can give it to them and they feel thankful to get it. Thank you very much – my family isn’t as hungry and we have food to eat. Imagine if all kids shared their lunch too! – Angela Morales, 8 years old
