On behalf of Children’s Hunger Alliance (CHA), I am proud to present our latest edition of HungerLine as the agency’s new president and CEO. Children’s Hunger Alliance is an essential part of the community, and I am thrilled to join the agency’s team to help strengthen its impact on childhood hunger and families During the past six months, our programs touched many children throughout Ohio. With your help, Children’s Hunger Alliance expanded Ohio’s summer feeding program to increase children’s access to nutritious foods. We also held successful events in all five regions. Thank you for your support in helping us feed hungry children in Ohio. Sincerely, Mary Lynn Foster President and CEO SPECIAL ATTENTION... Mary Lou Langenhop retired as Children’s Hunger Alliance’s president and CEO in September, having led the agency since 2009. “I am so proud to have been associated with this wonderful organization and the great people who work at the agency to ensure hungry children receive regular and nutritious meals,” said Langenhop. During the former CEO’s tenure, Langenhop expanded the afterschool feeding program sponsorship to seven cities, partnered with Learn4Life to bring summer learning loss programs to summer meal sites, and increased the number of breakfasts served to low-income children at schools across Ohio by over 50,000. She also implemented an initiative empowering middle school students to eat more nutritionally and be more physically active in school, expanded the board governance structure to include five regional boards, and worked with the hunger relief system aligning resources to strengthen impact. Langenhop spent 30 years in the public human services system and made a lasting impact on childhood hunger throughout Ohio at CHA. CHILDREN’S CHAMPION Fifth Third Bank and Children’s Hunger Alliance collaborated on the Fifth Third Day “Feeding Our Community” carnival on May 3rd to support Children’s Hunger Alliance programs and Columbus summer feeding sites. Fifth Third Bank of Central Ohio coordinated the event with CHA, engaged its employees in the cause, and contributed nearly $13,000 to the agency. “We are excited to have Fifth Third Bank as a summer feeding partner and appreciate their generosity,” said Michele Gregory, senior vice president of development, Children’s Hunger Alliance. Children played at the Columbus Commons Park, participating in physical activities, games, free rides on a Merry-Go-Round, and educational stations. The children also received a healthy snack. Along with monetary donations, Fifth Third Bank employees donated food for the Healthy Snack Station where kids were able to make trail mix to take home. Over 300 children from afterschool program sites participated in the Fifth Third Day festivities. 1 Fifth Third Bank raised their contributions selling $5 paper apples, representing CHA’s brand, in its Central and Southern Ohio financial centers. Due to the fundraising efforts in each of the bank’s affiliates, CHA was able to ensure more children were fed nutritious meals during the summer months. The goal of CHA’s five year initiative for Central Ohio is to increase the number of children who participate in summer feeding programs to 25% participation - it is currently at almost 13% in Franklin County. In addition to the Fifth Third Bank volunteers, several public officials in Franklin County supported the event. Along with the CEO of Fifth Third Bank of Central Ohio, Jordan Miller, speakers in attendance included Commissioner John O’Grady, Councilmember Zach M. Klein, and Recreation and Parks Department Assistant Director Steve Aumiller. CHA extends its thanks to Fifth Third Bank for their donations, as well as the volunteers for helping CHA support healthy minds and bodies across Ohio. A DAY IN THE LIFE HOORAH! As Charlie Kozlesky arrives at Children’s Hunger Alliance early each day at 7:00 am, he begins his day with working to create opportunities to develop relationships and help school districts learn more about breakfast programs and how to set conditions right for children to learn. WELCOME ABOARD: Charlie transitioned from the Ohio Department of Education to new ventures 10 years ago to serve as senior vice president of school and summer nutrition for Children’s Hunger Alliance. He enjoys strategizing on implementation processes, as well as helping educators understand the importance of childhood nutrition and how breakfast programs can be self sustainable and not negatively impact school budgets. “I love my job and working with school districts to develop breakfast programs that are financially sound. I enjoy seeing how different schools operate and the positive change in school climate when they implement a breakfast program,” said Charlie. He prioritizes each day by working with his team on which school districts they plan to meet with across the state to observe the school’s breakfast programs. Charlie and the school and summer nutrition team often leave Columbus at 4:00 am to meet with principals, business managers, food service directors and other administrators throughout Ohio to ensure children receive healthy meals for breakfast. “Having relationships with educators and school officials is imperative to develop successful breakfast programs. Phone calls are secondary as knowing people and understanding how they work and how their school system operates are the most productive ways to help the schools feed hungry children and be financially sound,” said Charlie. * Holly Molony, Director, Southwest Region * Char Hightower, Data Management Specialist * Shelby Kretz, Grant Writer/Communications Specialist * Joseph Davy, Senior Vice President, Finance * Mary Lynn Foster, President/CEO * Jennifer Kuhn, Wellness Coordinator EMPLOYEE OF THE QUARTERS: * Devon Fay, Afterschool Nutrition Program Coordinator * Terri Scholl, Data/Online Training Specialist * Alyssa Yingst, Community Development Manager * Shelby Sutphen, Nutrition Education Manager * Meghan Hirschy, Wellness Coordinator * Carol Looman, Northeast Ohio Regional Manager * Andrea Eckhardt, School & Summer Nutrition Manager LEGISLATIVE UPDATES: * Children’s Hunger Alliance’s public policy works to maximize the use of existing state and local resources, expand access to child nutrition programs, and increase federal reimbursements to schools and other providers. * Working with the Lt. Governor’s Office and the Common Sense Initiative, CHA was able to obtain a clarification of Ohio’s rules around the use of school buses. * The Departments of Agriculture and Health determined that afterschool meal sites did not meet the definition of a restaurant. Therefore, they will not be subject to the tough health and safety inspection and equipment standards of a restaurant. Upon returning to Columbus after long travels, Charlie relaxes by rejuvinating in ways many people long to understand: he runs 10 miles daily. He has also run ultra marathons to support Children’s Hospital for 36 years. Charlie has even run 265 miles from Cleveland to Cincinnati (over 55 miles per day for 5 days) for homeless children’s education. “My son also runs long-distance regularly, and my wife of 40 years is an educator who works in the school system,” said Charlie. “The three of us do things to benefit families. And I believe ‘If I can’t make a difference in children’s lives, why work?’ ” 2 AGENCY HIGHLIGHTS SUMMER EXPANSION PROGRAM INCREASES ACCESS TO NUTRITIOUS FOODS The Franklin County Summer Meal Expansion Program is an initiative to expand summer feeding throughout Franklin County. The goal of the program is to increase summer meal participation in Franklin County to be among the best in the country by 2017. In the future, CHA hopes to replicate the program in other regions. During the summer months, children lose access to the regular, nutritious meals they need and receive during the school year. Food pantries see unprecedented demand from families with school-aged children in the summer. In Franklin County alone, there are over 90,000 students that may not have access to healthy foods when school is not in session and could participate in the summer meal program. In June, the Central Ohio region of Children’s Hunger Alliance held its summer feeding kick off at one of the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department sites, Fedderson Community Center. Summer meal flyers were distributed throughout Franklin County informing them of the more than 300 summer meal sites in the area. “It was great to see the media and the mayor out there creating awareness,” said CHA’s Franklin County Summer Nutrition Manager Amanda Wampler. “I love that people are creating awareness about the summer feeding program.” Wampler works with community partners to determine and implement best practices for sites, as well as site directors and other community partners to increase attendance and decrease barriers to participation at summer sites throughout Franklin County. Barriers to participation in summer meal programs include: location of summer meal sites; transporting children to meal sites; lack of programming at sites; and lack of awareness. A key contributor to the success of summer feeding programs in Franklin County is Andrew Ginther, who serves as vice president of community affairs and outreach for Children’s Hunger Alliance. Ginther connects the agency to community partners to help establish additional sites with more resources. The agency extends its thanks to all community partners that helped expand the Ohio Summer Foood Service Program in Franklin County. 3 AGENCY HIGHLIGHTS SOUTHEAST OHIO REGION INCREASES ITS IMPACT TO FEED HUNGRY CHILDREN The Southeast Ohio region of Children’s Hunger Alliance is increasing its impact in the community, as well as the size of its regional board. The board is focusing on creating more collaborative efforts to eliminate duplicative processes in the area and create partnerships with other hunger advocates. The Southeast region is dedicated to increasing awareness and financial support for school breakfast, summer nutrition, nutrition education, and sponsorship of childcare providers. The board recently decided to form additional committees to manage and tap into expanding the region. The board developed a public relations/community awareness committee, as well as a board engagement and development committee. The role of the public relations/community awareness committee is to identify civic organizations to approach, identify potential donors, and spread the word about Children’s Hunger Alliance in Southeast Ohio. The board engagement and development committee plans to recruite six to eight additional board members. The new board members will represent different geographic areas within the region. In the future, the board will strive to include a member from each county represented on the Southeast regional board to better address the hunger crisis in Southeast Ohio. AGENCY STRIKES OUT HUNGER ONE BUTTON AT A TIME When the newly-formed Junior Advisory Board of Children’s Hunger Alliance’s Northeast Ohio region held its first meeting earlier this year, they were motivated by one goal: to erase the negative stigma attached to the region’s afterschool food program. In Cleveland’s twenty-one recreation centers offering the program, many children declined meals because they didn’t want to be associated with “needing free food.” The Junior Advisory Board—a group of young professionals in the Cleveland area—thought they could lend a hand in re-branding afterschool meals by making it “cool.” “We should get buttons,” said Keenan Williams, junior board member and Z107.9 dee-jay. “Kids love buttons.” Created by the designer behind popular streetwear clothing brand Another Enemy, the design was simple: the agency’s red apple logo used as a strikeout sign, with the abbreviated “HNGR” in the middle. Not only did the buttons generate enthusiasm among children at special events that “Pop Up” at afterschool meal sites, but the buttons’ message, “Strike Out Hunger” resonated with both staff and community members as it invokes curiosity and conversation. “The buttons intrigue people,” said Ainslee Johnson, junior board chair. “If I’m wearing one, someone will ask what it means, which starts the conversation about CHA’s work.” Identification Statement Publication Title HungerLine Issue Date November 25, 2013 Statement of Frequency Quarterly Name/Address 370 South Fifth Street Columbus, OH 43215 Issue Number Vol. 3 Issue 2 4 LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!

For children without access to reliable, healthy foods at home, this may be the only meal they are getting between lunch at school and breakfast the next day.” The Northwest Ohio region of Children’s Hunger Alliance is proud of the rapid growth of the Afterschool Meal Program in the Toledo area. Approximately 56,000 meals were provided to over 1,900 different children at the afterschool program partner sites in this past year alone. In late 2011, the office opened with only eight afterschool meal sites. During the 2012-2013 school year, the Northwest Ohio region sponsored 33 afterschool meal sites in Toledo, which represents a 40% increase in program sites in less than two years. Many afterschool programs spend money from their budget to feed hungry children. By partnering with Children’s Hunger Alliance, afterschool programs are able to feed children healthy meals through the agency’s vendors and use the money they are saving on operations. “Through the afterschool meal program we can address the hunger issues that are increasing and expanding here in the Toledo area,” said Wendi Huntley, Northwest Ohio regional director, Children’s Hunger Alliance. To make the most impact, the Northwest Ohio region has a strong partnership with Toledo Public School District and provides healthy options for children that are unavailable in other programs. In fact, Huntley cites the partnership with Toledo Public Schools as one of the most influential contributors to the success and growth in the region. With over 15,000 children at Toledo Public Schools qualifying for free or reduced price meals, the need within the district is clear. Many afterschool meal programs only provide snacks, some of which do not contribute to the nutrition children need to be healthy and thrive. “We provide the opportunity for children to have nutritious 7 “We can help alleviate expenses for afterschool meal programs, and there aren’t many programs that are doing that,” said Devon Fay, program coordinator for the Northwest Ohio region of Children’s Hunger Alliance. “We bring a real tangible benefit to our partners - saving them money.” Looking forward, the region plans to expand and increase awareness of Children’s Hunger Alliance throughout the Northwest Ohio community. “We have a vision for the region - it is the local Toledo community members’ vision [to feed hungry kids],” said Fay. The Northwest Ohio region has also expanded by adding several key individuals to the regional board who have demonstrated a passion for helping children and addressing hunger. The wide range of individuals serving on the board help connect the agency to the Toledo community at large. Members include representatives from the following: Andersons, Inc.; YMCA of Greater Toledo/JCC; Live Well Greater Toledo; Fifth Third Bank; Block Communications/ Buckeye Cable; the Office of the Mayor, City of Toledo; The Lucas County Prosecutor’s Office; Owens Illinois; as well as a student from Bowling Green State University. Northwest Regional Director Wendi Huntley at Toledo’s Hunger Action Month Media Event Children Celebrating at 2013 Summer Field Days OHIO REGIONS END FISCAL YEAR WITH SUCCESSFUL SUMMER EVENTS dance enjoyed jumping on inflatables, playing games with volunteers, and were able to eat a healthy meal. Children in the Southwest Ohio region enjoyed Summer Field Days events in both Cincinnati and Dayton. Both events engaged over 350 children in activities, such as face painting, dancing, and playground games. The children collected goody bags that they were able to take home and interacted with AmeriCorps members and Commissioner Judy Dodge, who helped them have a day full of fun. Most importantly, children received a healthy lunch. “It was wonderful to see children eating, children who wouldn’t have otherwise had a meal that day,” said Franklin County Nutrition Manager Amanda Wampler, Children’s Hunger Alliance. “You could see the relief on the parents’ faces.” “The biggest impact was raising awareness about the availability of food for kids during the summer months through various media outlets,” said Southwest Ohio Regional Director Holly Molony, Children’s Hunger Alliance. The Northwest Ohio region held a Hunger Action Month media event on September 18 to showcase the issue of childhood hunger in Toledo and how the afterschool meal programs impacts the community year-round. Toledo Deputy Mayor Steve Herwat and representatives from the following organizations participated in the event commemorating Hunger Action Month: Children’s Hunger Alliance, ProMedica, Toledo Public Schools, YMCA, and United Way of Greater Toledo. “We wanted to pull together our partners and show the collaborative effort in the afterschool work as it relates to the community,” said Northwest Ohio Regional Director Wendi Huntley, Children’s Hunger Alliance. The Central Ohio region was a sponsor of Red, White & Boom to create awareness about Ohio’s Summer Food Service Program and inform caretakers of the more than 300 summer meal sites in Franklin County. Children in atten- The Central Ohio region also held a Summer Field Day event at Fred Beekman Park in Columbus, where children enjoyed outdoor field games, face painting, a DJ, and arts and crafts. Children were able to eat a nutritious lunch, provided by Columbus Department of Parks and Recreation, and enjoyed goody bags filled with jump ropes, Frisbees, and water bottles to encourage active lifestyles. “It was great seeing the interactions between volunteers and kids,” said Amy Souders, AmeriCorps program manager, Children’s Hunger Alliance. “The volunteers really take it upon themselves to make the children’s day enjoyable.” The annual Family Festival in northeast Ohio was held at Luke Easter Park to recognize the outstanding home childcare providers in Cleveland. Attractions included a booth featuring fresh fruit from Edible Arrangements, a petting zoo, and the Cleveland Fire Department’s Smokehouse, a mobile unit that teaches children about fire safety. The northeast Ohio region held a kindergarten promotion ceremony at the festival for children scheduled to attend kindergarten in the fall. The little graduates wore caps and gowns and received book bags containing school supplies for the upcoming school year. Each summer event celebrated children and increased awareness about Ohio summer meal programs and CHA. 8 AGENCY HIGHLIGHTS AGENCY, OHIO LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR PARTNER ON COMMON SENSE INITIATIVE The Common Sense Initiative (CSI Ohio) reviews regulatory systems in Ohio to eliminate rules that serve as obstacles to state goals. Children’s Hunger Alliance, the Office of Lieutenant Governor Mary Taylor, and other organizations partnered to address two rules that could cause barriers to children in Ohio receiving meals through the federally sponsored Child Nutrition Program. The first barrier was afterschool and summer meal sites were to be inspected as though they were restaurants. This meant that sites would need to purchase equipment, such as three-compartment sinks and commercial grade refrigerators. In many cases, the equipment was not needed as food was neither prepared nor stored on-site. JCPenney Logistics Center leadership team presented a check to Children’s Hunger Alliance for $8,601.15. The funds were generously donated by the company’s employees during their recent operation feed campaign. The donation is a significant increase from their support through the same campaign in 2012 where JCPenney Logistics Center donated $4,000. The difference, according to Tarah Torrez, is due to one of the key campaign leaders and a member of the Customer Care Center leadership team who increased marketing efforts of the campaign to the entire staff by using incentives and “healthy competition” to motivate teams to raise more money than their colleagues. The second barrier was buses were not permitted to serve as mobile meal sites. Utilizing buses as mobile sites would be very helpful for children who are located too far from a meal site or cannot safely walk to a site alone. Children’s Hunger Alliance collaborated with the Office of the Lt. Governor regarding CSI Ohio. The work between the Office of the Lt. Governor and partnering organizations, including Children’s Hunger Alliance, resulted in a clarification in the rules stating afterschool and summer meal sites should not be inspected as restaurants. In addition, children are now permitted to eat on a school bus, and buses are able to either transport children to a meal program or transport meals to children. “I am very pleased that Lt. Governor Mary Taylor worked closely with us to resolve these two issues. Her dedication to children is tremendous. She even had the opportunity to come out and visit one of the mobile meal sites and see the impact her work truly had,” said Charlie Kozlesky, senior vice president of school and summer nutrition, Children’s Hunger Alliance. 9 “Ohioans are fortunate that the Executive Branch has set up a process for reviewing rules and regulations that are a barrier to achieving state goals. Children’s Hunger Alliance greatly appreciates the work of Lt. Governor Mary Taylor and the CSI to ensure hungry children continue to have access to healthy meals.” Fred Fastenau, Vice President, Public Policy Children’s Hunger Alliance Ohio Lieutenant Governor Mary Taylor interacts with children during her visit to a mobile summer meal site Thanks to all who contributed: April 1, 2013 - September 30, 2013 Individuals Dolly Rekhi Abbott* Ali Abdi* Dale Abrams Annina Abubalcarix Robin Ackerman Yvonne and Don Adams Kathy Adams Malissa Adams* Natalie Adams Lynn Adkins Mitchell Adkins* Abdallah Akarri* Misty Aldrich Jenny Alexander Jennifer Allen* Keith Allen* Toni Allen Heather Allinder* Shannon and Ryan Amos Mark Anderson* Patricia and Robert Anderson* Shawn Anderson Max Andorfer* Cynthia Ansted Larry Antosch* Elizabeth Aponte* Michelle Arban Rick Arbaugh Krista Arbogast Lori Arnett Monica Arunkumar Stephanie Ashcraft Amy and Paul Atkinson Chandra and Raj Attiken Cheryl Austin and Anthony DiMonte Juan Ayovi* Susan Babcock* Laura Bade Mark Baer Sue Baik-Kromalic* Brittany Bailey Jaladah La’Tese Bailey* Melinda Bailey* Julie Owen Bain* Kenneth Bain* Rhonda Bajenski Lynn Baker Sandra Bakos Jennifer Baldwin* James Ball* Rebekah Ballard Stephanie Bamberger Lea Banks* Judith Barbao-Martz* Ronda Barber* Carrie Barclay Nadine Barfield Rodney Allen Barnes* Lindsey Barnett* Rosetta Barringer* Brian Bartemes* Daniel Bartula* Rachel Basalla* Brad Basil Josh Basil Debra Bates* Michelle Battigaglia Michelle Battista Denise Bauchmoyer* Ashley Baughman Mary Beardmore* Michelle and Chris Beatty Alison Beck Diane Beck Margaret and Ronald Beck Flora Bedard* Julie Beeler Robert Behal Kimberly Behn Shelly and Joesph Beiting Gail and Craig Belair* Diane Bellard* Michael Belter* Sandra Bennett* Cathleen Bentley* Melody Berg* Kelly Bergelin-Lomeli Brian Berger Ellen Berndt Alan Berzow* Ralph Betts* Khyati Bhatt Roopinder Bhullar* Douglas Bidlack* Mary Bignell Molly Bilchak* Brooke Billmaier Alissa Bills* Kathleen Bindas* Jason Bires* Dwayne Bishop* Georgia Bishop* Deborah and L.
