Dear Friends,<br />

When the economy struggles as it has for the past five years, the Regional Food Bank is asked to do more to feed our hungry<br />

neighbors. Fortunately, with the help of many generous people we were able to provide more assistance than ever in 2012. We<br />

distributed over 27.7 million pounds of food (enough for 23 million meals) to our member agencies, an 8% increase over 2011<br />

and 55% more than we provided just five years ago.<br />

It took many people helping in many different ways to make that happen. I want to thank our dedicated and hardworking staff,<br />

deeply committed Board of Directors, food donors, financial supporters, volunteers, and everyone else who used their talents<br />

and resources to assist us with our work. I also thank and commend our member agencies - the food pantries, soup kitchens,<br />

homeless shelters, and other programs that every day provide sustenance to those who turn to them for help. They have our<br />

utmost respect.<br />

It is an honor for us at the Regional Food Bank to partner with so many caring people in the fight against <strong>hunger</strong>. We will always<br />

strive to live up to the faith and trust that has been placed in us.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Mark Quandt<br />

Executive Director<br />

Dear Friends,<br />

In 2012, the Food Bank of the Hudson Valley saw an increase in the amount of food distributed in six counties, the number of<br />

member agencies served, and the number of individuals assisted in its service area. Facing the challenges of disaster relief for<br />

a second year in a row with the onset of Superstorm Sandy, the Food Bank was aided financially by many caring people and<br />

organizations. TD Bank alone donated $25,000 to help those affected by the storm. The Food Bank worked in partnership with<br />

agencies in Rockland, Orange and Ulster counties to ensure that food, cleaning supplies, and other essential items were available<br />

for disaster relief efforts.<br />

Economic conditions for many of our neighbors were still very difficult in 2012, and the Food Bank provided resources to help those<br />

who remained jobless, felt the stress of a shrinking paycheck, or were homeless. Despite the tough economic times, the level of<br />

support for the Food Bank increased. Many of our neighbors made donations, volunteered their time, or committed other acts of<br />

generosity to assist those who needed help.<br />

We appreciate the willingness of so many individuals, businesses, and non-profit organizations to work with the Food Bank to<br />

create a caring environment in the Hudson Valley. We will continue to strive to make our community a better place to live for all,<br />

with assistance from a wonderful, philanthropic base of support. Thank you for your efforts to be a part of the Food Bank’s<br />

mission.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Jan Whitman<br />

Director<br />

Food Bank of the Hudson Valley

poundage and programs<br />

The Regional Food bank provided 27.7 million pounds of food to its member agencies and the hungry people they serve in 2012, a<br />

55% increase since 2007. Approximately 250,000 people benefited from the assistance the Food Bank provided.<br />

The need has increased dramatically during these difficult economic times, and the Food Bank has been asked to do much more.<br />

Fortunately, our generous community has responded in a big way. Food and monetary donations were strong in 2012, and more<br />

people than ever donated their time and services to assist us with sorting and repacking food in the warehouse, volunteering at the<br />

Farm or in the office, and serving on fundraising committees. We could not have met the increased need without the tremendous<br />

help we received from the community.<br />

Over 250 food industry businesses donated food and non-food grocery items, and hundreds of individuals generously contributed<br />

through food drives and other efforts to make it possible for the Food Bank to serve its member agencies. Donations are received<br />

from food companies throughout our 23-county service area and from national companies through our relationship with Feeding<br />

America, the national network of food banks. The Regional Food Bank accepts products that are surplus, off-size or color, discontinued,<br />

close-to-code/best-used by date, shipped in error…unmarketable for whatever reason, but still good to use. For donations that come<br />

in bulk or are cosmetically damaged, volunteers and staff work to make these donations usable for our member agencies by sorting<br />

and repacking them.<br />

The Food Bank completed its seventh year of operating the Patroon Land Farm in 2012. To date, over 620,000 pounds of produce<br />

have been grown and distributed through the Food Bank to people in need. Our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program<br />

grew to 382 members last year, providing the Farm with more financial stability and an opportunity to expand its acreage to grow<br />

more vegetables to feed the hungry.<br />

agency services and programs<br />

summer food service program<br />

As a sponsor of this federal program, the Food Bank partners with community agencies to provide nutritious breakfasts and<br />

lunches to low-income school-aged children throughout the summer, when school breakfasts and lunches are not available.<br />

The Food Bank sponsors sites in Albany, Montgomery, and Fulton Counties. (SFSP is an equal opportunity provider and<br />

employer.) In 2012, the Food Bank provided 16,843 meals, an increase of 3,103 meals from 2011.<br />

backpack program<br />

The BackPack Program helps alleviate child <strong>hunger</strong> by providing at-risk children with nutritious and easy-to-prepare food on<br />

weekends, when other resources may not available. The Food Bank provides backpacks filled with child-friendly and easyto-prepare<br />

food each Friday during the school year. In 2012, the program expanded from 20 to 32 schools and served 820<br />

children each week.<br />

mass distribution program<br />

The Food Bank’s Mass Distributions – also called Mobile Pantries – supply people in low-income neighborhoods with surplus<br />

food on a monthly basis. Mass Distributions give people food over and above what they may receive at a food pantry, helping<br />

them stretch their limited dollars and giving their nutrition a boost through the provision of food like yogurt, juice, and fresh<br />

produce. A total of 3,922,485 pounds were distributed at Mass Distribution sites in 2012.<br />

patroon land farm<br />

The Regional Food Bank, in partnership with the Patroon Land Foundation, manages a 15-acre Farm for the purpose of growing<br />

vegetables for distribution to the Food Bank’s member agencies and the hungry people they serve. In 2012, 147,204 pounds<br />

of produce were harvested. Since the Food Bank took over operations of the Farm in 2006, it has produced more than 621,000<br />

pounds of fresh food for those in need.<br />

kids cafe<br />

Kids Cafes are soup kitchens for children. In addition to providing healthy meals in a safe atmosphere, Kids Cafes provide<br />

athletic activities, homework assistance, and nutrition education to disadvantaged youth. The Food Bank currently operates a<br />

Kids Cafe at the Schenectady Boys & Girls Club’s Mont Pleasant site where 50 children receive hot meals three times a week.<br />

one-on-one support<br />

Our Agency Relations staff works hard to address the changing needs of our member agencies and offer them the support they<br />

need. Food Bank staff members analyze agency ordering patterns to ensure agencies optimize their use of the Food Bank. In<br />

addition, they educate member agency staff so they can provide resources beyond emergency food, such as information on<br />

Food Stamps (now called SNAP), affordable health care, and nutrition.<br />

workshops<br />

The Food Bank provides agencies a wide variety of workshops on a monthly basis, such as:<br />

• Advocacy<br />

• Accommodating Special Diets<br />

• Agency Best Practices<br />

• Cooking Without a Kitchen<br />

• Disaster Preparedness<br />

• Food Bank Orientation<br />

• Food Safety<br />

• Fundraising 101<br />

• Grant Writing<br />

• Menu Planning<br />

• Outreach Opportunities<br />

• Overcoming Burnout<br />

• Pantry Tours<br />

• Understanding Federal Nutrition Programs<br />

• What’s in a Bag?<br />

• And More!<br />

thank you<br />

The staff of the Regional Food Bank and Food Bank of the Hudson<br />

Valley would like to extend a special thank you to all who helped<br />

us in 2012 with food donations, fundraising, volunteer efforts, and<br />

in a multitude of other ways. We are grateful for the time, energy,<br />

and resources our generous community provided in 2012 to ensure<br />

we were able to help as many people as possible during a time<br />

when it was so desperately needed.<br />

how you can help<br />

donate time and talent<br />

Volunteers are vital to the Food Bank’s operation and contribute in<br />

countless ways. Sorting food, picking produce at our farm, or raising<br />

money at a fundraising event—there are endless varieties of enjoyable,<br />

rewarding tasks that volunteers perform every day.<br />

make a monetary or in-kind donation<br />

Financial donations sustain the Food Bank and enrich the larger<br />

community by providing nourishment, dignity, and a sense of sharing to<br />

all involved. Funds come from grants, special events, and contributions,<br />

and each donation makes a meaningful difference. In-Kind donations<br />

come in many forms, from printing to paving and more. These donations<br />

allow the Food Bank to get more food to hungry people.<br />

donate food<br />

Food donations are at the core of the Food Bank’s work. Food<br />

companies donate their edible but unsaleable food, and individuals<br />

and organizations conduct food drives at all times of the year. Nonfood<br />

items like paper goods and cleaning supplies are also donated.<br />

These products are provided to food pantries, soup kitchens, and other<br />

agencies serving people in need.<br />

spread the word<br />

Did you have a great time volunteering in our warehouse or on the<br />

Farm? Spread the word! Let your friends know, and encourage them to<br />

volunteer! Find us on Facebook to keep up with what’s going on at the<br />

Food Bank, and share our page with your friends. With your help, we are<br />

alleviating <strong>hunger</strong>...<strong>together</strong>.<br />
