Share Our Strength believes that we can — and must — ensurethat every child in America has the nutritious food they needto learn, grow and thrive.

T H E Y E A R I N R E V I E WA YEAR OF TWO EXTREMES:IMMEDIATE RESPONSE AND STRATEGIC ACTIONHurricanes Rita andKatrina commandedthe nation’s attentionthis year. With them landedunspeakable devastation,and a deep sense of shockwe Americans areaccustomed to directingtoward situations far fromhome. Yet here it was.Share Our Strength was among the veryfirst responders on the ground, the resultof years of strengths shared in New Orleansin the forms of deeply rooted trust, personalbonds and the passion that drives our networkevery day. We created Restaurants forRelief ® , held special dinners, and appealedto our network of supporters and friendsfor additional contributions exclusively tobenefit those in the affected areas of the GulfCoast. And we will be there until we’re nolonger needed.As horrific and all-consuming as ourhurricane relief efforts were, they werenot the only events of the year. Amongother accomplishments, we unveiled thefirst local plan to end childhood hunger,in Washington, D.C., as a joint effort withstrong community-action organizations.A glance back reminds us of all thehallmarks of this year.EMERGENCY RESPONSE AFTER THE STORMSThis fiscal year, Share Our Strength granted$1.6 million in hurricane relief to 33 diverseorganizations. The funds were raisedthrough our first Restaurants for Reliefdining event in September 2005, and directdonations. These organizations met a rangeof immediate and longer-term needs, fromthe general to the very specific:• Distributing food• Supporting kitchens that providedhot meals• Purchasing an ice machine• Providing medical care, legal adviceand education• Legislative advocacy to fight hungerin the hurricanes’ aftermath• Promoting ecologically sounddevelopment as the area rebuilds• Improving access to emergencyfood stamps• Expanding summer feedingprograms in hard-hit areas• Providing assistance torestaurant workers• Helping small, locally ownedrestaurants reopen• Purchasing a community tent forthe FEMA trailer village• Providing art therapy for childrenand exhibiting the artwork publicly• Helping displaced students returnto school• Providing health careShare Our Strength iscommitted to rebuildingin the Gulf Coast as longas our help is needed.NEW ORLEANS’ LOWER NINTH WARDA GLANCE BACK REMINDS US OF ALL THEFALL 2005Gulf Coast Relief: First annual Restaurantsfor Relief was held, a coast-to-coast, onenightdining event to benefit victims ofHurricanes Rita and Katrina, in partnershipwith Open Table and Windows of Hope.Share Our Strength’s Conference ofLeaders: Held in Washington, D.C., inanticipation of launching the first local planin support of our national strategy to endchildhood hunger in America.The Great American Bake Sale ® : Kickedoff the year’s bake sales with this year’ssponsor, PARADE.Share Our Strength’s OperationFrontline ® : Received “special recognition forproviding innovative and excellent nutritioneducation to USDA Food and NutritionService program participants” from theU.S. Department of Agriculture.WINTER 2006Gulf Coast Relief: Six months after Katrinahit, Share Our Strength announced nearly$1 million in new grants for Gulf Coasthurricane relief, and pledged long-termcommitment to the region.S H A R E O U R S T R E N G T H A N N U A L R E P O R T F Y 2 0 0 6 2

T H E I S S U ECHILDHOOD HUNGERIN AMERICAFor 23 years, ShareOur Strength has ledthe fight against hungerand poverty aroundthe world by inspiringindividuals and businessesto share theirstrengths. That missionhas not changed.Today, we believe we can best claim victoryby achieving sharply focused, strategic andmeasurable goals.When we looked into our own hearts andheads for what these goals should be, whatlooked back at us were the faces of hungrychildren all across America. It is shamefulthat in the wealthiest nation in the world,children living in more than 13 millionhomes do not have a reliable source ofnutritious food.WHY IS ENDING CHILDHOOD HUNGER IN AMERICA IMPORTANT?The facts are simple and compelling:RIO GRANDE VAL-LEY, N.M, HINGESOF HOPE TOUR• Hunger impedes growth anddevelopment, especially in childrenunder the age of 3.• Hunger leads to more illness,behavioral difficulties, hospitalizationand a greater susceptibility toobesity.• Hunger reduces our children’sability to recover from illness or healfrom injury.• Hunger reduces our children’sability to perform athletically andacademically.• Hunger raises the likelihood of infantmortality.• 1 in 5 American households withchildren live at risk of hunger.PHOTO CREDIT FOR PICTURE HERE• 12.9 million American childrenbenefited from food stamps in anaverage month this year.• 9 million families were served byfood pantries — yet thousands offamilies were turned away becausethe pantries had run out of food.Childhood hunger is anational problem thatcrosses all boundaries.It occurs in our largestcities and suburbs andin our smallest and mostremote rural towns,affecting children of allsizes, shapes andbackgrounds.T O D A Y , O U R P R I O R I T Y I S T O E N DS H A R E O U R S T R E N G T H A N N U A L R E P O R T F Y 2 0 0 6 4

T H E I S S U ETHE CHALLENGEWE FACE TOGETHERWe believe thatAmerica can — andmust — end its ownchildhood hunger. Wecan make it possible forevery child in Americato have access, everyday, to nutritious meals.The programs, tools andresources are largely in place:• Private-sector organizations provideemergency food through food banksand food pantries.• Government anti-hunger programsprovide food stamps, free schoollunch and breakfast, nutritioneducation, and free afterschool andsummer meals.• Federal programs support families’food needs in other ways, such as theEarned Income Tax Credit and WICnutrition program for mothers andinfants.• Community-based efforts increaseaccess to healthy fresh foods.What is needed is the community-widemobilization — the will and the organization— to bring these and other programs andrecources to scale, and to make sure they areunderstood by and accessible to everyonewho can benefit from them.This is exactly the strengththat we share, and exactlywhy we believe that endingchildhood hunger in Americais a bold yet fully attainablegoal. It is also the principleupon which Share Our Strengthhas founded our strategy toend childhood hunger.RIO GRANDE VALLEY, N.M, HINGES OF HOPE TOURC H I L D H O O D H U N G E R I N A M E R I C A .5T H E I S S U E

O U R S O L U T I O NENDING CHILDHOOD HUNGERWITH LEADERSHIP AND COLLABORATIONUnlike with other serious social ills, America has the resources, the know-howand the programs to end childhood hunger. Share Our Strength has a specificvision to achieve this goal by finding at-risk children and surrounding them withnutritious food wherever they are.Our Philosophy:CREATE LEADERS,LEVERAGE LEADERSHIPShare Our Strength hasearned a reputation as oneof America’s most effectivenonprofits by innovativelycreating long-term leadersin the fight against hungerand poverty, and then leveragingthat leadership at thelocal level for the benefit ofcommunities as well as thenation at large.It is this distinguishingstrength that wecontinue to harnessin meeting our goalto end childhoodhunger in America.This fiscal year, Share Our Strength appliedthis philosophy to generate and grantfunds to support 279 domestic organizationsin the following areas: food assistance,nutrition education, advocacy, economicself- sufficiency, Gulf Coast hurricanerelief, and summer and afterschool feedingprograms. All of these play an important rolein ending childhood hunger.Our Strategy:COLLABORATE TO SURROUNDEVERY CHILD, STATE BY STATEThis fiscal year, ShareOur Strength put inplay its national strategyand supporting plan toend childhood hungerin America.Ours is a state-by-state strategy designed tosurround every child with nutritious foodwhere they live, learn and play.In essence, our strategy is to literallyclose the gaps in the system by doingthree things:1. Increase access to the public andprivate programs that can providefood to those who need it2. Strengthen the communityinfrastructure for getting healthyfood to children3. Teach families how to get the mostnutrition out of a limited budgetFirst, we are focusing on the areas with thegreatest need: California, the District ofColumbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, NewYork, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texasand Washington state; in the Gulf Coast,the Rio Grande, and Appalachia; and onNative American reservations.In each state, we collaborate with thebest community organizations to createstate-specific plans; build state and localleadership in public and private sectorsto take ownership of the plan; convenestate and local officials, businesses, schooladministrations and nonprofits to takean active role in their state’s plan; and,importantly, build capacity of a singlestatewide organization to monitor andimplement the plan, for the long term.This fiscal year, we applied this strategyin Washington, D.C., by collaboratingwith D.C. Hunger Solutions and the FoodResearch and Action Center to launch ThePlan to End Childhood Hunger in theNation’s Capital, the first plan of its kind inAmerica. This 10-point plan will serve as anational model for subsequent state plans.OUR FOCUS FIRST IS ONAdditionally, Share Our Strength continuedto apply this leadership philosophy to raisefunds that supported 13 international organizationsin their work to advance sustainabledevelopment in their communities.LAUNCH OF THE PLAN TOEND CHILDHOOD HUNGER IN THE NATION’S CAPITALS H A R E O U R S T R E N G T H A N N U A L R E P O R T F Y 2 0 0 6 6

O U R R E S U L T SLetter from BlancaOPERATION FRONTLINEEATING RIGHT GRADUATE, DENVERMy name is Blanca. I am a divorced parent raising mythree daughters, niece and nephew — three teenagers,plus one who is 9 and the other 12.When the older ones started attending middle school, westarted arguing about food. They complained about thefood I prepared; they said they didn’t like it. Sometimesthey said they loved Chinese food because they knew that Ididn’t know how to prepare Chinese food.Every single day when I picked them up after school, theywould ask me if I could take them to a fast-food restaurant.They said they were really hungry and it would take meup to one hour to prepare the food for them.Before I took the Operation Frontline class, I would usuallybuy the things they advertise at the supermarket, becauseI am always thinking to save money. But a lot of times Iended up buying food that expired too soon or buying stuffthat I did not need.After I took the nutrition class, I started paying more attentionto the way I prepare food for my children. I learnedhow important it is to plan the meals, and how planninghelps me to save more money than [just] buying the thingsthe store advertises. I learned the importance of reading thelabels and now I use a different oil to cook, and, when I seethe advertising, I look for fresh vegetables.I am still arguing with my teenaged girls, but I want themto take this class now so they can understand why I do notwant to take them to fast-food restaurants.One more thing: during the Operation Frontline classes,I learned to cook Chinese food!OPERATION FRONTLINELOCAL PARTNERSArkansasSpringdaleOzark Food BankColoradoDenverShare Our StrengthDistrict of ColumbiaCapital Area Food BankIllinoisChicagoNear North Health ServiceMassachusettsBostonShare Our StrengthMichiganDetroitGleaners Community Food BankMissouriSt. LouisOperation Food SearchNebraskaOmahaVisiting Nurse AssociationNew HampshireManchesterNew Hampshire Food BankNew YorkElmiraFood Bank of the Southern TierNew York CityCity HarvestOregonPortlandOregon Food BankTexasDallasNorth Texas Food BankHoustonHouston Food BankWashingtonSeattleSolid GroundCOMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS AMERICA.11O U R R E S U L T S
