2009 - 2010 Annual Report - Food Bank of Waterloo Region

2009 - 2010 Annual Report
Our Vision
To channel our
community’s energy
so no one goes hungry.
Our Mission
Through community
partnerships, we obtain
and distribute emergency
food from our neighbours
for our neighbours.
Students of Riverside Public School,
Elmira, raised over 3 pounds per
student, almost 1000 lbs. of food,
as part of the Kitchener Rangers
Classroom Challenge food drive.
Students then visited The Food Bank
for an afternoon with some of the
Rangers players.
“The goal of the Kitchener Rangers is
to not only lead on the ice, but to be a
leader within the community. We are
inspired by the many students and
volunteers that help The Food Bank
and are happy to continue to serve and
support this worthy cause along with
them.”

The Reality in the Region
2009 -2010
hanks to the support of
donors, sponsors, funders
and volunteers, The Food
Bank of Waterloo Region
has been able to meet the
challenges of the past year.
In the Fall of 2009 it was reported that
Ontario had lost 227,700 full-time jobs
since August 2008. One in three food
banks in Ontario reported that their
ability to meet the needs of their clients
had decreased in 2009. Locally, the recession had an enormous impact on
families. Local plant closures and layoffs
meant greater numbers of the working
poor and the unemployed going to food
banks.
At the fall food drive kick off, Steve Sachs
with the Labour Program of Waterloo
Region reported that, “There are many
inquiries from workers who are dealing with problems in providing the basic needs of their family. Unemployed
workers in this community are using the
food bank or food hamper programs. It
may be on a one-time basis while they
wait for their EI to kick in or more often
if their EI has run its course and they are
having difficulty finding work. The one
thing I know about these workers is that
they truly view The Food Bank as a “Bank”.
They make deposits as often as they can,
but sometimes when life takes a downturn they have to make a withdrawal.”
By September the 76 food programs in
Waterloo Region that are serviced by The
Food Bank reported an increase in need.
Woolwich Community Services saw an
increase of 10%. The House of Friendship
numbers were up by 20%. Some
St. Vincent de Paul volunteers were picking up food from The Food Bank every
week rather than once a month.
community food programs throughout
the Region. Funds were needed to ensure proper warehousing and transportation of the food. More volunteers were
needed to acquire, sort, package and deliver the food.
The Community
Response
Summer at The Food Bank typically
means rapidly emptying shelves with
few food donations to replenish them.
This usually means our agencies have to
make do with whatever substitutions we
are able to provide to them. We always
strive for nutritious, balanced meals and
hampers. During the summer months
this is even more challenging as demand
continues while donations often drop
off.
However, for The Food Bank of Waterloo Region the summer of 2009 was
different. Community food donations
increased by 50% compared to the summer of 2008. This food plus some large
corporate donations of frozen food, including meat and vegetables, cold cereal, snacks, hot drinks and some important non-food products such as laundry
detergent and personal care items all
helped The Food Bank meet the needs of
the community throughout the summer.
The Fall Food Drive goal was set high because of the great increase in need. Over
350,000 lbs was raised by the end of the
drive. Through the holiday period another 240,000 lbs of food was received at
The Food Bank! This meant that the 15%
increase in the number of food hampers
and the 17% increase in the number of
households accessing assistance (many
This increased need put additional strain
for the first time) could be met. Generon The Food Bank resources and the
ous donors also provided funds to help

work. More food was needed for the

Paxton Holmes, co-ordinator of the KW Workforce
Action Centre, host of the Fall Food Drive Kick-off
said, “When asked if we would open our doors to
The Food Bank it was a given. In the past our local,
its members and the companies they work for have
always been strong supporters of community based
organizations like The Food Bank, United Way and
others and it’s been truly inspiring to see these same
people continue to support where they can despite
being affected by job loss. The KW Workforce Action
Centre is happy to be the first in line to contribute and
we sincerely hope The Food Bank reaches their goal
and this fall food drive is a great success.”

In order to maintain the food inventory
at consistent levels in the face of this
increased need, The Food Bank asked
the community to help in a number of
different ways through the winter and
spring instead of one Spring Food Drive
at Easter time. The community once
again responded positively. Canstruction raised over 34,000 lbs of food. In
April, another 40,000 lbs of food was
raised by individuals and traditional Easter/Spring food drives held by churches,
schools, businesses and other groups.

programs throughout the year. We are with tremendous support from the
confident that whatever the next year community.

Tim Jackson, President
On May 15 we tried our first one-day
food drive, “DIG IN”. The community
response was heart-warming. Over 500
volunteers canvassed neighbourhoods,
handed out bags at grocery stores,
staffed donation sites, helped with
transportation logistics and organized
special events. All of the excitement and
activity came together for one purpose
and resulted in one great day for The
Food Bank and those who rely upon us.
The support of Waterloo Region Manulife chose to Attack Hunger as part of the 16th annual Stuff A Bus organized by KOOL FM/KFUN, CTV and
throughout this past year has kept The Grand River Transit. Staff were challenged to fill as many food drive bags as they could with donations and each
Food Bank in a good position to meet would be matched with $100 from Manulife. Staff rose to the challenge, raising 21,058 lbs. of food. Manulife
presented The Food Bank with a cheque for $40,000.

“ The statistics related to hunger, even in our own community, are alarming. We need to continue to support
organizations like The Food Bank of Waterloo Region, who implement defensive initiatives that contribute to the
battle against hunger,” said MTE Canstruction Team. Their fortress was made from 5000 cans and was awarded the
People’s Choice and Judges’ Favourite in Canstruction, Waterloo Region 2010.
The ladies of Doon Curves in Kitchener made their food
drive fun by giving it a ‘Survivor’ theme and by turning it
into a challenge. They raised 5,646 pounds of food!

“If we are indeed coming out of a recession the last to recover is employment/jobs. Everyone is suggesting the recession is over, but we are seeing the lingering
effects in this year as unemployment remains high and many good paying jobs no longer exist. This is increasing our numbers and the need for people to look
to food assistance, many for the first time.”

Through the generosity of the community, The Food Bank is able to maintain a Capital Maintenance Reserve Fund to keep its building and fleet up
to date thus minimizing annual operating expenses. In addition, development of an Inventory Management System is underway that will improve
distribution efficiencies and ensure the safety of food supplies.
A focus for the upcoming year is the identification of new food sources – including fresh local product. An allocation to the Food Purchase Fund will
allow for additional resources for community harvest projects and food purchase of fresh and nutritious product.

Volunteers & Donors Nourish Hope

At the 14th International Canstruction Competition in Las Vegas ...
it was announced that the “Parthenon-Building a Long Lasting Community” structure built by the Waterloo
Architecture Student Association team from the University of Waterloo was the winner of the Best Meal category.
Canstruction is the Society for Design Administration’s community service project that promotes the design
community and raises food for hunger relief. This was the third year for Waterloo Region to hold a Canstruction
competition and the first year an entrant was recognized at the international level. The jury wrote, “Standing high
on the Acropolis, this Parthenon could sustain the ancient residents of Greece through a famine. This wonder of
the world was packed with nutritious food and symbolism.” Congratulations to the Waterloo Architecture Student
Assocation and to Research In Motion for providing the support necessary for the team to compete.
The Food Bank and Web 2.0
In 2009-10 The Food Bank entered the world of web
2.0. Students from Wilfrid Laurier University created
guides for Facebook, YouTube, Kijiji, LinkedIn and
Twitter for The Food Bank. Our new video, “Sharing
with my community. Every day.” is our first posting
on YouTube (<http://www.youtube.com/user/
FoodBankWaterlooReg> ) and can also be reached from
a link on our home page. Everyone is encouraged to
become a fan of The Food Bank on our Facebook Page
and follow FoodBankWatReg on Twitter.
Graphic design for the 2010 food drive materials...
and the cover of this report was developed by Sean Willson, graphic design student
at Conestoga College. Sean was pleased to have his design selected by The Food
Bank. “To be part of something as significant as this cause, means a lot to me. It’s
not every day that you get to create awareness for something so important and often
ignored. I hope others will also see the positive effect they can have and help nourish
hope in our community,” commented Sean.
Hope always stands a better chance with help.
You can continue to nourish hope for 5% of our population.
Thanks for your support.
