Nourish Hope - Food Bank of Waterloo Region

Nourish Hope
2010 - 2011 ANNUAL REPORT
How do I feed 26,500
neighbours?
Message from the
President of the Board
R
ecently I heard the story of Wanda,
a single mother who found success
because food assistance was
available when she needed it. Wanda’s
story touched me, revealing an overlap
between my professional career at TD
Bank and my responsibilities as President
of The Food Bank of Waterloo Region.
Three years ago Wanda packed her
car with her young son and their few
belongings. She drove away from
strife in hope of a safe and promising
future. Arriving in Kitchener she faced
new realities: part time employment,
temporary housing and hunger. It was
hunger that prompted her to call The
Food Bank. “Just a few groceries to get
me to the next pay cheque is all I need if
someone would be so kind,” asked Wanda.
Staff referred Wanda to a community food
program for support. Over the course
2 • THE FOOD BANK OF WATERLOO REGION
serving
of the next year, Wanda made four more
trips to this hamper program. Then in
2009, Wanda called The Food Bank again,
this time to say, “Thank You.” She was
proud to be working full time as a bank
teller and was ready to give back to the
community by sharing her story.
Wanda’s story brought me to a daunting
realization; in my new role as President
of The Food Bank Board I was accepting
the responsibility of feeding people like
Wanda and her son. Apart from those
two there were 11,000 other parents
and their children and many more single
people. I will admit to a fleeting moment
of panic as I thought about the costs of
feeding 26,500 people.
My role at The Food Bank is to provide
direction and vision to a very competent
group of volunteers and staff and to lead

Thankfully the past year has introduced
me to countless examples of partnerships,
philanthropy and community support.
Thank you all for nourishing hope and

Our Mission
Through community partnerships,
we obtain and distribute emergency
food from our neighbours for our
neighbours.
Food Is Our Business
The Food Bank is part of the Food Assistance Network made up of over 100 emergency
food programs. Our role is to acquire food and distribute it to agency programs in Waterloo
Region for the people who need help. Last year 2.9 million pounds of food was distributed to
26,500 people through 70 member agency food programs such as food hampers, community
meals, and shelter programs. We work with our community, corporate partners, the Ontario
Association of Food Banks and Food Banks Canada to manage food industry trends and
acquire the needed food so our member agencies can continue their good work.
“We all sit at the same table,
sometimes in different chairs. We
are very proud of our partnership
with The Food Bank. The positive
working relationship allows us to
provide excellent service in our 12
food bank supported programs.”

A full time Food Procurement Manager concentrated on developing
new relationships in a quickly changing food industry and increasing
support to provincial & national acquisition initiatives. Feedback from
the agencies indicates we are on the right track and we look forward to
continued growth in quantity and nutritional value of food donations.
The staff team is also working to ensure consistent service to programs
throughout the year. The food purchase fund has grown to provide for
emergency food shortages and innovative new food purchase programs.
Through careful planning and procurement, gone are the days of
summer shortages.

In 2005, with no operating reserves to handle emergencies,
the Board set a goal to build reserve funds. The organization now
has an Operating Reserve Fund plus a 3 year Capital Maintenance

for infrastructure improvements.

“RIM has been helping food banks

Continuing to Feed
Fresh approaches. Every day.
The root causes of poverty still exist in our community and as the community grows so does the need for
emergency food programs. Fresh approaches to feeding the hungry include:
Innovation in Program Delivery
Through a series of innovative programs, new service delivery models
and agency capacity building we work towards measurable
targets to address hunger and health. Renewed focus
will be on equitable distribution of food, seeking
sources of food with high nutritional value
and food purchase plans.
Development of a Robust Infrastructure
We strive daily to operate in the most efficient and effective way possible
to fulfill our mission. Projects to improve information technology,
inventory management and online presence all support the development
of a robust infrastructure to provide our team with the tools and resources
they need to do great work.
Human Resources
We are fortunate to have a safe & supportive organizational culture and
work environment where staff and volunteers are effectively deployed and
work towards high levels of achievement.
Strength Realized Through Neighbours
“I have been blessed by having enough to eat all my life. That blessing is
doubled when I am able to share with others who have not. “
Stefan M, donor.
Recognizing that this statement has been expressed by countless donors,
we are thankful daily for your compassion, support and trust. Together you
enable The Food Bank to continue to channel the community’s energy so
that no one goes hungry.
