I recently attended a community forum
featuring a nationally known speaker and
nonprofit leader. The speaker talked about
the challenges and opportunities nonprofits
face today. After the presentation, there
was a panel representing different sectors
and points of view. Each person gave their
response according to their background and
knowledge of the subject and what they had
heard. What became abundantly clear is
that for practically every issue and challenge
discussed, there was also a public policy issue
in play. From the Food Bank’s perspective,
this becomes especially relevant as we
consider cuts to our state budget resulting in
new taxes for nonprofit and religious organizations – or as we begin the long process of
writing a new Farm Bill, which funds a wide
array of nutrition programs like food stamps,
school breakfast and lunch, summer feeding
programs for children and provisions for the
elderly.
It was asked, somewhat rhetorically, “Why
do our political leaders seem to always lead us
to political dead ends instead of collaborative
solutions? Where is the hope? Why do we all
feel so stuck, incapable of finding a compromise and solutions to the problems of the
day?” And to no one’s surprise, the answer
from one of the panelists was – “These are
really hard issues, and our political leaders
want to keep their jobs.”
It’s hard - that’s it? We avoid hard decisions
for job security?
My goodness, hard is not having enough
money to take care of one’s family or not
having access to health care when a child is
sick. It’s really hard to tell your family that
there’s not enough to eat today.
But having to lead in these uncertain times
at any level, especially leading in the public
sector, is very difficult. There is little margin
for error and an unrealistic expectation that
things can be fixed quickly. In fact, it may
never have been so hard to deliver the news
about what we are facing as a society as it is
today. Facing the challenges ahead of us will
require tremendous sacrifice and investment
by everyone, but we still seem to be holding
out for simple answers with few sacrifices - or
at least sacrifices by anyone but ourselves.
The existence of hunger is clearly related to
a number of policy issues, and we are faced
with some very difficult decisions. Distribution to Food Bank partner agencies has risen
by nearly 70% over the past three years - a
number we could never have imagined only
a few years ago. When education budgets get
cut, or when the cost of health care, housing,
food, and energy go up, it means greater costs
for everyone, and more people to feed and
crisis situations to respond to. Our share of
work automatically increases not only in the
short term, but for years to come.
There are conversations we need to have
about our collective future; and it’s becoming
abundantly clear that these policy decisions
are deeply connected. We are left with some
serious questions about where we should look
for leadership today:
Do our political leaders lead by following
the polls, or by following their consciences?
Do business leaders lead by pursuing short
term growth, or investing in a sustainable
future?
Do nonprofit leaders lead by telling the
community what they want to hear, or what
we know has to be done?
Do the media lead by entertaining us and
making us afraid, or by doing the in-depth
work of investigative journalism?
Where are the profiles in courage in our
lives today?
In our feature article, we learn about the
courage, ingenuity, and passion of the people
we work with at the neighborhood and
county levels. Conversations with community
volunteers and staff during our recently
conducted Agency Study gave us some great
examples of courageous leadership. It seems
that courage is often hidden in plain sight. It
expresses itself in acts of kindness, often to
strangers. And those acts of kindness often
come from those with the least to give. It
could be summed up in that simple truth
found in every religious tradition – “to do
unto others as we would like them to do unto
us.” It’s a simple idea that can be transformative.
Encouraged by the stories, suggestions, and
expressions of caring we heard and observed
during our community
conversations, we came
away informed about
planning our own future
at the Food Bank.
We will stay focused
on those who are stepping up to the challenge;
they are the leaders of
the future. We will support those efforts that
lead to collaboration and
partnerships; they allow
our collective strength
to multiply. Knowing
that nutrition and health
are even more critical to
those without access to quality health care; we
will make fresh, healthy products more regularly available. With energy costs continuing
to rise, we will steadily increase our food
deliveries, saving hundreds of agencies time
and money. We will collaborate, support, and
give voice to those communities who invite us
to partner with them.
With the dramatic need for the Food Bank
to grow in size and sophistication, and with
costs rising, we will increasingly rely on the
community to challenge, guide, and support
us.
As our society tries to solve its most
vexing problems, it is becoming abundantly
clear that our solutions won’t come through
one political party or another; they’ll come
through human beings who care enough to
step up when others are down, who answer
the call of a greater power, who refuse to
blame others. Courage, leadership, and faith
are clearly on display by those who take up
this work.
The times require a willingness to take risks
and to sometimes fail, succeed, and then fail
again. As we search for courage to continue
the journey, we can look back at our forefathers for wisdom, but we must look forward
to our young people
to realize our future.
Those of us who are, or
have been, in leadership
positions must take the
time to model what we’ve
learned, mentor those
who are ready, and stand
up for what we know is
right.
Things are hard for
everyone now because
our future is no longer
as secure as we thought.
With uncertainty
often comes fear and
resistance to change. But
here’s a point to ponder. If we look back in
history, we know that uncertain times offer
up opportunities for people of every age and
circumstance to step up and lead. If we know
anything from the past, we know that we can
be inspired to constructive action by those
who refuse to give up or give in to the naysayers. Rarely do we find courage alone, but more
often in the context of family, community and
programs that work. Our future is built on a
strong foundation, and I have every reason to
believe that we will find our way again.

Our Mission
Our mission is to fight hunger by
engaging, educating and empowering
our community.
Who We Serve
The Atlanta Community Food Bank
supports more than 700 local nonprofit organizations with hunger-relief
programs. Food pantries, community
kitchens, childcare centers, night shelters and senior centers are among the
agencies that receive product from the
Food Bank and provide food and other
critical resources for low-income Georgians who suffer from hunger and food
insecurity. The Food Bank also operates
several community projects to aid our
agencies in community building, technical assistance and advocacy efforts.

Agency of the Quarter
Faith In Serving Humanity (F.I.S.H.)
Visit Walton County and you’ll see
that kindness and compassion come as
second nature to those who live there.
In 1992, a group of pastors with the
Walton County Ministerial Association
saw the need for a collaborative way that
Walton County citizens could help their
neighbors, and started the charity Faith
In Serving Humanity (F.I.S.H.). Today
there are 54 churches of all denominations working in unity to serve their
brothers and sisters in need through the
agency. With a mostly volunteer staff,
F.I.S.H. offers an array of services that
bring relief and hope to the people in
the community.
With help from the Atlanta Community Food Bank and local donations,
F.I.S.H. is able to host a food pantry that
provides emergency food to those who
come off the street seeking help. F.I.S.H.
also supplies food through its F.I.S.H. 4
Kids Program, which focuses on feeding
impoverished children. During the summer months, F.I.S.H. volunteers deliver
lunches to the doors of children who
normally receive their only nutritious
meal of the day during their school’s
lunch hour. F.I.S.H. was made aware of
this need by the school’s teachers and
counselors, and wasted no time responding. The program has been in operation for six years and has shown great
success from the start. In the summer
of 2010, the F.I.S.H. 4 Kids program was
able to deliver 2,100 lunches daily over
an 11 week period!
Knowing how important it is for
children to be given a chance to succeed, the schools and the F.I.S.H. 4 Kids
program teamed up to create a seamCindy Little. “Our community is fully

Volunteers of the Quarter
The Buis Family
Volunteering is definitely about giving back to the community. But sometimes it can also be a great way for a family to
grab some quality time together! The Buis family epitomizes
this idea. Kevin Buis and his family first volunteered sorting
and packing food boxes in the Product Rescue Center here
at the Food Bank a few years ago. As first time volunteers,
they were required to participate in a training session so they
would know how to determine which foods could be kept
and which needed to be thrown out. The training also included a video which provided information about some of the
Food Bank’s other projects. As Kevin heard about the Community Gardens project, an idea popped into his head.
You see, Kevin’s company tests commercial seeds, and they
were throwing away thousands of seeds regularly. He immediately thought about how he could help others by donating
old sample seeds –waste product to them that normally ended
up in the trash. Kevin contacted Fred Conrad, the Food Bank’s
Community Gardens project manager, and offered to donate
his company’s sample vegetable seeds for use in the gardens.
Fred was grateful for the offer and accepted immediately.
Now Kevin just needed to figure out how he was going to
sort and package all of those seeds! He knew his family was
the kind to donate their time, so he decided to ask for their
help. Thus began a regular family gathering for the Buis family. For the past four years, Kevin, his wife Fran and their two
children, 11 year old Mark and 10 year old Emily, pick one day
every couple of months to come together with Kevin’s extended family to sort and package the vegetable seeds, preparing
them for delivery to the Community Gardens project. “We
use this day as a time to get together with lots of family,” said
Fran. “Kevin’s brothers and sister, father and step mother all
come to the lab and help us separate the seeds. Whoever can
make it will come. Then we usually have a family dinner at our
house.”
This is a great example of a family who is not only teaching
their children the importance of helping their community but
also the importance of spending quality time with their family
in a fun way.
The Buis family donates a pickup truck load of vegetable
seeds two or three times a year, and those seeds help provide
fresh produce to many people who might not otherwise have
the money to purchase it for their families.
We salute the Buis family for their support and the creative
way they give back to the community.
That’s not a refrigerator the Buis family is standing next to, but rather a “germinator.” The
temperature controlled machine, also known as a daylight box, simulates the natural habitat
for seeds in the field. It lights up and rises in temperature during the day, then grows dark
and lowers in temperature at night. (l-r): Mark, Kevin and Emily Buis.

Hunger Walk/Run 2011
March 13, 2011 marked an incredible day for Atlanta. An estimated 13,000 people arrived at Turner
Field on this beautiful spring day in an effort to ensure everyone in our community has enough food for a
healthy, active life. A BIG THANK YOU from the Atlanta Community Food Bank and HWR 2011 benefiting partners Episcopal Charities Foundation, Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta, Lutheran Services
of Georgia, Presbytery of Greater Atlanta and St. Vincent de Paul Society. If you walked, ran, volunteered, sponsored or donated, YOU have done something tangible to put food on the tables of people
in need. Thanks to you, we have raised over $450,000 for hunger relief!
Thank you, Hunger Walk/Run 2011 sponsors!

Looking for a creative way to give back to your community
without impacting your bank account? We have just the thing.
Gardening! Growing your own fruits and vegetables not only
helps supplement your food supply; it can also be a great way
to help those in need.
Fresh produce is not as readily available as nonperishable
food, so our partner agencies have less of it to offer their clients. Knowing that fresh fruits and vegetables are an important part of a nutritious diet, the Food Bank has always looked
for ways to get more of it in the hands of those who can’t afford to buy it. One big step towards this goal was the creation
of our Community Gardens project in 1995.
The Community Gardens project brings volunteers and
neighbors in low income communities together, empowering
residents to grow their own fruits and vegetables. The project
also encourages produce donations through the annual Plant a
Row for the Hungry campaign.
In addition, the Food Bank manages the WIC Tapestry
Garden, helping mothers with young children ages five and
Atlanta Botanical Garden’s “Edible Garden”
The Gift of Gardening
under as part of the WIC (Women with Infants and Children)
federal nutrition program. The Tapestry Garden’s current
location in historic Ormewood Park was donated to the Food
Bank by the Tapestry Land Association, a neighborhood group
which bought the land 40 years ago. The group couldn’t use
the entire tract of land and wanted to put it to use for something that would benefit others beyond their community. So
they collectively decided to ask the Food Bank if we would
be interested in using the land. The answer was a resounding
“yes”! The vegetables grown in the Tapestry Garden are given
to WIC recipients at special Farmers Markets in Marietta and
Douglasville. To receive the produce, the women simply turn
in a special WIC market voucher.
Another group finding a unique way to help is the Atlanta
Botanical Garden (ABG). In May of 2010, ABG opened
its Edible Garden. During the planning process, ABG staff
members were looking for a site for the garden. When it was
determined a new parking facility would be built, ABG Horticulture Director Mildred Fockele suggested the existing 1-acre
sunny parking lot, and it turned out to be the perfect spot.
The produce grown in the Edible Garden is used for classes
and demonstrations, but when there’s extra, it’s donated to
the Food Bank. “Donating the excess produce to the Atlanta
Community Food Bank just seemed like a natural fit to us,”
said Tracy McClendon, director of education at the Atlanta
Botanical Garden. “We know the Food Bank has the relationships and know-how to quickly get fresh produce to people
who need it.”
Want to get in on the action? Participate in the Plant a Row
for the Hungry campaign! “Backyard” gardeners, community
gardeners and farmers can help by planting an extra row or
simply donating excess produce. For a list of organizations accepting donations throughout the growing season, visit www.

Together We C
Few periods of change have been as dramatic for the Food
Bank, our partner agencies, and the hungry people they serve,
as the prolonged economic downturn of the last three years.
During this time, Georgia unemployment rose more than five
percent pushing an estimated 240,000 new people out of work.
Today, the unemployment rate remains above 10% with almost
500,000 Georgians now jobless.
Individuals who are not working or families that have lost
a portion of their income, are at much greater risk of hunger.
Not surprisingly, more and more of them have been seeking
food assistance from our partner agencies. In fact, distribution
of food to our partners is up almost 70% over the last three
years.
Traditionally, families and individuals would come to food
pantries or community kitchens in moments of calamity
looking for emergency food assistance to help them through a
period of unusual need – they were in a crisis, but most would
come out of it and land back on their feet. The Great Recession has considerably changed the landscape. Not only has
the number of hungry people increased, but they consistently
need more assistance for longer periods of time. Agencies
have had to shift into high gear, constantly putting out as many
fires as possible, but rarely being able to extinguish the flames.
As it became clear the heightened need would not be
going away anytime soon, we at the Food Bank began asking
ourselves some serious questions about how our partner
agencies could continue to respond to the demands. How
were they handling the growing number of people showing up
at their doors? What barriers to meeting their needs were they
struggling to overcome? What could we do to help empower
them to overcome some of those barriers?
In order to answer these questions, we launched a project
called the Agency Study. A primary aspect of the study was
a series of focus groups where we talked face to face with 350
individuals representing 225 of our 700 partner agencies about
the challenges to serving their communities. They spoke up
8
– in great detail and with passion – about the difficulties this
time of economic distress has delivered.
Ernesta Ingram, executive director of the Southwest Emergency Ecumenical Assistance Center described the effect of
hunger on the West End community as “a regularly recurring
natural disaster than no one talks about.” Rising need has
placed a greater strain on already limited resources. Many
others echoed her concerns: Do we decrease the amount of
food given to clients? Do we reduce the number of hours we’re
open for services? Do we completely eliminate programs?
Thirty miles to the north along I-85, we met up with Linda
Mann who directs the food pantry at Cross Pointe Church in
Duluth. She’s seen first hand the significant shifts in the types
of clients who come in for food – unemployed and employed.
“The working class is now hungry,” said Mann. “Some can still
pay their bills, but they need help making ends meet.”
As so many families are seeking help for the first time in
their lives, they are often unsure of where to turn. They are
grateful when they find a place that not only provides food but
also a large dose of compassion.
For Cross Pointe volunteer counselor Nery SchlenkerEspinoza, compassion and caring are key ingredients to
serving in this new season of need. “It’s about more than
food,” said Schlenker-Espinoza. “Food is the way we are getting
to their soul, their spirit. We have a group of women who all
ride in one van every month. They’re so excited for this time
together, they’re singing when they arrive! They come happy
and they leave happy.” She thrives on her twice weekly shifts
at the pantry and her clients are visibly moved by their time
with her. “Sometimes it’s just finding somebody else who
really cares and is willing to help them with a smile,” she said.
Elmer Villatoro, a 16 year old Meadowcreek High School
student, came to Cross Pointe with his mom over a year ago
seeking food assistance. He started volunteering at the pantry
that same day and hasn’t stopped. “I usually come every week.
I translate, pack boxes, and take food to people’s cars,” said
“

The Power of Collaboration
Cross Pointe Church volunteers Nery Schlenker-Espinoza and Guadalupe
Marquez take a moment in between clients to read a birthday card given to
Schlenker-Espinoza by pantry director Linda Mann.
Cross Pointe Church volunteer Elmer Villatoro checks in with volunteer Mona
Huffman to see if his translation skills are needed for the next pantry client.
“Sometimes we just need to be
reminded that we’re not alone.”
Villatoro as he rolled out a cart of groceries. “It’s fun. I like
helping out.”
Again and again, our agencies were telling us that the
increased needs have heightened their desire to help, regardless of the obstacles. One refrain that also ran across the
partner agency network was a growing awareness of the power
of collaboration to positively impact hunger relief efforts on
the neighborhood, community and county level. “We’re too
busy to work together” has changed into “We’re too busy not
to work together.”
Bennie Boyd, director of Social Ministry at Greenforest
Community Baptist Church in South Decatur, said it this
way, “Sometimes we just need to be reminded that we’re
not alone.” A sentiment echoed 100 miles to the northwest
in Floyd County by Rome Action Ministry’s Dawn Hayes,
“You need to be able to vent, to cheer, to be told that it might
actually get better.”
Andrea Watson, director of Helping Hands of Paulding
County, talks about collaboration like this, “Hunger is a
community problem that needs a community solution - it’s
the community that matters.” For our partner agencies that
community-level solution could manifest itself in a number
of ways, such as resource sharing between local agencies and
coordination of services to provide a network of continuous
support for local families.
Fueled in large part by the passion and dedication we
encountered in our partner agencies, we emerged from these
conversations with a renewed energy and purpose to work
together to increase our collective effectiveness. So much so,
that the information learned in the Agency Study served as
one of the primary sources guiding the direction of ACFB’s
new strategic plan. Working with our partner agencies, we
want to start thinking about what it looks like to position
entire communities to be food secure.

Summer Hunger
Did you know that more than half a million Georgia children live in poverty? According to the latest U.S. Census Bureau American Community
Survey report released in 2010, that’s more than 22%. The threat of hunger is always looming over these kids, but it’s especially daunting
during the summer when school breaks. While many kids are thrilled to hear that final school bell, those who rely on free and reduced
breakfast and lunch during the school year might be more likely to wonder about their next meal.
Your donation to ACFB.org can help us stock more high nutrition items
for our partner agencies serving families and children.
