MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
Food insecurity is not always evident
on the sweet faces of the children
we serve, yet we know it is prevalent. The defining characteristics of
food insecurity include a household
where food intake has been reduced
or normal eating patterns have been
disrupted due to a lack of funds or
other resources for food.
Children’s Hunger Alliance is proud to provide solutions for
children living in food insecure households. This past year,
we served more than 4,000,000 meals and snacks through
our CHA-sponsored home child care providers and nearly
700,000 through our afterschool programs. Yet we still have
much more work to accomplish! Thank you for your support so together we can successfully feed Ohio’s children.
Sincerely,
Mary Lynn Foster
President and CEO
SPECIAL ATTENTION...
Alliance Data held its first 5K run with Children’s
Hunger Alliance as the beneficiary on October 4 and raised
over $3,600. The company wanted to plan a 5K benefiting
a local charity with a focus on healthy living and helping
others. Alliance Data considered CHA due to the agency
promoting lifelong health and the pillars on which it stands:
directly feeding children nutritious meals, increasing easy
access to nutritious food, and educating children to make
healthy food choices and engaging them in physical activities. Children’s Hunger Alliance as the charity of choice was
a natural fit for the company.
Alliance Data gained much interest in the event as over 350
of its associates participated. The downpour of rain during
the second half of the race did not deter the dedicated employees or their spirit as they continued running in the rain.
Alliance Data has a long-standing history of supporting
Children’s Hunger Alliance. In the last three years alone, the
company has donated nearly $23,500 to the agency. CHA
thanks Alliance Data for its ongoing support of combating
childhood hunger.
CHILDREN’S CHAMPION
McDonald’s awarded Children’s Hunger Alliance a $15,000
grant for CATCH Kids Club, an afterschool education
program. McDonald’s has also been a strong supporter
of the agency’s Lunch Money Campaign. In 2013, over
1,000 children participated in CHA-sponsored afterschool
programs that teach children the importance of nutritious
meals and healthy fast food alternatives.
After the many successes that the partnership between
McDonald’s and Children’s Hunger Alliance has achieved,
the fast food chain is once again partnering with the
agency in 2014. McDonald’s will be providing coupons for
participants in the Lunch Money Campaign and help the
agency celebrate the top three winning companies who raise
the most money.
The Lunch Money Campaign encourages employees of
companies to donate what they typically spend on lunch for
a day, week, month, or even a year to ensure all children in
Ohio are fed regular and nutritious meals. The campaign has
raised over $200,000 to date to help fight childhood hunger.
Children’s Hunger Alliance thanks McDonald’s and CSCC
for its support in the fight against childhood hunger.
McDonald’s supported the Lunch Money Campaign by
donating coupons for free Egg White Delight McMuffins to
all participants in the campaign. McDonald’s also provided
free breakfast to the employees of the top three winning
companies. McDonald’s representatives, including Ronald
McDonald, attended the celebration breakfast for Columbus
State Community College (CSCC) who tied for first place
last year.

A DAY IN THE LIFE
HOORAH!
As a data specialist at CHA, Lisa Timley spends her day
crunching numbers and answering telephone calls from
child care home providers. When she is not at the office,
Timley likes to spend quality time volunteering at events
for the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office and CHA. She has
been dedicated, hard-working, and consistently given many
hours of her personal time volunteering for CHA for the
past five years.
WELCOME ABOARD:
Timley enjoys volunteering because she is able to help children and work with a variety of CHA supporters who have
diverse cultures, backgrounds, and lifestyles. She enjoys seeing the excitement and smiles on people’s faces, particularly
the children. There was a specific memory that stuck out to
her during a CHA holiday skating party.
“For some of the kids attending our holiday party, it is their
first time ever ice skating or getting gloves and hats,” said
Timley. “Those children are very appreciative of it. That
makes it fun and worthwhile for me.”
Timley treasures the time she spends with her own kids.
She has three girls and two boys. Timley is a familyoriented woman who takes her children swimming, camping, fishing and traveling several times a year. When her
work day ends, Timley makes sure she gets home on-time
to feed her children and do a fun activity with them.
Along with caring for her kids and working at CHA,
Timley makes time to study as she is enrolled in college
with a double major in business management and criminal
justice. Using the degrees she will earn, along with the associates degree she earned last year, Timley hopes to gain
experience in a variety of areas at CHA to help hungry kids.
Her long-term goal is to one day start her own industrial
cleaning company so she can provide jobs for the less fortunate, disadvantaged adults in the Columbus community.
Her drive and passion to help people make her a role model
that Stephen, her husband of 18 years, her children and
community members admire.
Timley appreciates her work at CHA and volunteering for
the agency because she knows she is taking part in changing children’s lives; whether it’s through her work as a data
specialist or as a staff volunteer.
“It feels nice to be recognized for the work that I do,” said
Timley. “I do it because I actually want to, I really enjoy it.”

LEGISLATIVE UPDATES:
OHIO LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR VISITS
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR BREAKFAST
PROGRAM
Ohio Lieutenant Governor Mary Taylor visited Slate
Ridge Elementary School on November 19 to tour
the school and observe its school breakfast program.
Lieutenant Governor Taylor also discussed breakfast
program development and participation, as well as
breakfast menus, preparations, and more.
The school breakfast program is beneficial for all
schools, but particularly those in high poverty areas as school meals are the only source of nutritious
foods for many children. The program provides students with a healthy breakfast to start their day right.
During her visit, Lieutenant Governor Taylor also had
the opportunity to witness the Breakfast in the Classroom model of the breakfast program. She observed
students getting their breakfast and heading to the
classroom to eat and do schoolwork. During this
time, the lieutenant governor enjoyed conversations
with students, teachers, and school staff.
Lieutenant Governor Taylor was especially interested
in learning how the district utilized school buses
to serve as mobile meal sites. Lieutenant Governor
Taylor, Children’s Hunger Alliance, and other organizations partnered with the Ohio Common Sense Initiative to address state rules that could cause barriers
to hungry children receiving meals through federally
sponsored Child Nutrition Programs. The initiative,
implemented under her direction, helped ensure
school buses could serve as mobile meal sites. Reynoldsburg School District utilizes its buses as mobile
meal sites as a means for students to receive healthy
meals in the summer.
CHA extends a special thanks to Lieutenant Governor
Mary Taylor for supporting hungry children in Ohio.

AGENCY HIGHLIGHTS
CENTRAL OHIO REGION ENDS 2013 STRONG
ADVOCATING FOR CHILDHOOD HUNGER
Children’s Hunger Alliance finished 2013 with a strong
push toward its mission to ensure children are fed regular
and nutritious meals and develop lifelong healthy eating
habits. The 1st Annual Hunger Strike Bowl-a-Thon and
the 10th Annual Holiday Skating Party were two events
supporting afterschool programs that helped further the
agency’s mission.
Children’s Hunger Alliance and QFM96, along with
Atlas Butler and Star Lanes Polaris, partnered to launch the
1st Annual Hunger Strike Bowl-a-Thon to help raise funds
for hungry children. The event was held on October 12 and
enabled local families, friends and corporations to make
pledges for every strike a bowler made. CHA supporters
also contributed monetary donations and purchased raffle
tickets. Sue Leighton and Joe Show were participating DJs
representing QFM96. The fundraiser raised $3,000 toward
Children’s Hunger Alliance’s mission.
“We are excited about our partnership with QFM96 and
appreciate their support,” said Shanikka Flinn, director of
media and communications, Children’s Hunger Alliance.
“The station has a high male demographic, which allows us
to now expand our reach to include more men interested in
making an impact in the lives of hungry children.”
CHA also celebrated a decade of hosting its annual holiday
skating party at Nationwide Arena for 600 children who
participate in USDA afterschool meal programs. The meal
programs sponsored by Children’s Hunger Alliance allow
children to have direct access to healthy and nutritious
foods and engage in physical activities. Over 200 company
and individual volunteers skated with the kids, participated in arts and crafts, served children nutritious meals, and
more.
The bowl-a-thon and holiday skating party furthered
the agency’s efforts to tackle childhood hunger and helped
increase awareness about CHA. Children’s Hunger Alliance
thanks QFM96, Atlas Butler, Star Lanes Polaris, Columbus
Blue Jackets Foundation and all event volunteers for their
support and generosity in fighting childhood hunger in
Central Ohio.

GENERAL MILLS SUPPORTS SOUTHEAST
OHIO, SCHOOL BREAKFAST PROGRAMS
General Mills awarded a $15,500 grant to the Southeast
Ohio Region of Children’s Hunger Alliance to expand
school breakfast participation in counties surrounding
Wellston, Ohio, including: Jackson, Lawrence, Vinton,
Pike, Ross, and Gallia.
Nearly 16,000 children in the targeted counties live in
poverty. Studies have proven poor nutritional intake can
hinder a child’s ability to learn; it is also associated with
childhood obesity, which can lead to lifelong health problems. One way to tackle the negative effects of poor nutrition is to provide children with easy access to healthy
foods through child nutrition programs. Nutritious foods
through the school breakfast and summer meal programs
help improve children’s health, school attendance, behavior, and academic performance.
In order to improve children’s health, Children’s Hunger
Alliance is working with local schools in the Wellston area
to educate them about the most effective way to deliver and
administer breakfast programs and assist in expanding the
program at participating schools. CHA is also working with
schools to eliminate the negative stigma students may feel
when they participate in such programs.
In addition to serving children in Southeast Ohio, General
Mills also donated $10,000 to the Central Ohio Region
and $4,500 to the Southwest Ohio Region. The grant for
the Central Ohio Region will help increase school breakfast
programs in the following counties surrounding Mansfield,
Ohio: Morrow, Marion, Richland, Crawford and Knox.
The grant for Southwest Ohio will help increase school
breakfast programs in Hamilton, Clermont, Butler, and
Warren counties surrounding Cincinnati, Ohio.
CHA thanks General Mills for its generosity to ensure students in Southern Ohio begin each school day with a nutritious breakfast so they can be healthy and ready to learn.
NORTHEAST OHIO TO LAUNCH ANNUAL
STRIKE OUT HUNGER CAMPAIGN
Children’s Hunger Alliance’s Northeast Ohio Region is
planning its 2014 annual fundraiser with a “Strike Out Hunger” theme, which kicks off in March and continues through
June. The fundraiser is similar to the agency’s Lunch Money
Campaign, which encourages co-workers, neighbors, and
friends to donate their lunch money for a day to the agency.
With the concept of the Lunch Money Campaign and the
region’s “Strike Out Hunger” theme from its successful Pop
Up parties, the regional board created “Strike Out Hunger”
as its annual fundraiser to bring awareness to CHA’s missions and goals.
The Strike Out Hunger fundraising campaign launches
during baseball season. As a fun-spirited alignment with baseball, prospective companies interested in serving as sponsors
will recognize familiar baseball terms for each sponsorship.
Companies can both encourage employees to donate their
lunch money, as well as participate in the campaign through
a variety of baseball-themed sponsorships: the Grand Slam,
Homerun, Triple Run, Double Run, or Single Run. All
sponsorships and donations will further the agency’s work to
“strike out hunger” in Northeast Ohio.
“We are very excited for this upcoming fundraiser,” said
Debra Parmer, vice president of regional operations,
Children’s Hunger Alliance. “The theme is relatable, and we
hope to increase our awareness and the public’s interest in
fighting childhood hunger in the region, as well as throughout the state.”

AGENCY HIGHLIGHTS
AGENCY CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN
RELATIONSHIPS IN NORTHWEST OHIO
SOUTHWEST OHIO RAISES AWARENESS
THROUGH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
The Northwest Ohio Region of CHA is spreading awareness about childhood hunger as it continues to strengthen
its relationship with Toledo Public Schools (TPS). TPS fed
7,700 students nutritious breakfasts by the end of the 2012
- 2013 School Year.
One of the most successful programs CHA provides in the
Southwest Ohio Region is its afterschool program. The region serves the Cincinnati, Dayton, and Springfield areas
with 51 afterschool program sites. Along with the success
of its afterschool programs, the region continues working to
engage the community to fight childhood hunger.
“I am pleased that our agency is in a position to help children and to create a positive impact on their lives,” said
Wendi Huntley, regional director of Northwest Ohio,
Children’s Hunger Alliance. “I am proud we have been able
to collaborate with other community partners to fulfill our
agency mission.”
TPS is working to increase school breakfast participation
rates by at least 500 additional students, and CHA is assisting the school district in improving the nutritional value of
the foods being served.
“…The response from the TPS administration regarding
increasing participation and improving nutritional value of
food has been wonderful,” said Huntley.
Along with assisting TPS in increasing breakfast participation, the Northwest Ohio Region directly feeds children
nutritious foods through 28 CHA-sponsored afterschool
meal program partners. The program has delivered over
30,000 meals to almost 1,500 different children.
CHA also works to educate children to make healthy food
choices and engage in physical activity. In order to accomplish this, children in the region engage in physical activities
through the afterschool meal programs. CHA’s Northwest
Ohio Regional Educator Alexcia Davis taught the CATCH
Club curriculum to 40 children at the Ft. Meigs YMCA location one day each week. The region is planning to expand
this program by offering it two days each week.
“Poverty and hunger affect thousands of children in this
area. We are working with partners to make a great impact
in the region, but we still have a lot of work to do. We will
continue to work hard and develop new ways to continue
to fight childhood hunger,” said Huntley.

CHA participated in longtime advocate Reynolds and Reynolds Company’s annual nonprofit fair, enabling the agency
to relay its mission, thank community members for their
support, and engage them in the agency’s work.
The agency also participated in the Food Policy Summit in
Montgomery County in November, which focused on “The
Positive Impact of Local Food.” During the workshop, CHA
drew the interest of many individuals looking to address
hunger-related issues.
“It’s so exciting to see how interested, supportive and collaborative the Dayton community is around the issue and
policies affecting healthy eating and food access,” said Holly
Molony, regional director of Southwest Ohio, Children’s
Hunger Alliance.
CHA is increasing its awareness in Cincinnati as the agency
and Charlie Kozlesky, CHA’s senior vice president of school
and summer nutrition were featured in a video produced by
the Office of the Mayor. The video focused on how partnerships have moved the city forward. The video was shown
at Mayor Mark Mallory’s last State of the City Address in
October, which resulted in the community engaging in conversation about childhood hunger.
“We were among such honorable company on the video,”
said Molony. “To see CHA highlighted as a contributor to
the health and welfare of the citizens, especially its youngest residents, was exciting and bodes well for our continued
work in the region.”
The Southwest Ohio Region continues to make great strides
to feed hungry children through afterschool programs, increasing community engagement and raising awareness
about the agency.

Help us end childhood hunger in Ohio.
Children’s Hunger Alliance is known for “feeding hungry minds and bodies.” The agency’s mission is to ensure all children
are fed regular and nutritious meals and develop lifelong healthy eating habits. Children’s Hunger Alliance does this by:
directly feeding children nutritious meals in child care homes and afterschool programs; increasing easy access to nutritious
foods in schools and summer feeding locations; and educating children to make healthy food choices and engage in physical
activity to reduce the incidence of obesity and promote lifelong health.
To learn more, call (614) 341-7700 or (800) 227-6446 or visit www.ChildrensHungerAlliance.org.
