Hunger-Free
Larimer County
FYE 2014 Annual Report
July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014
Dear Food Bank Friends,
VISION
A hunger-free Larimer County
MISSION
Provide food to all in need through
community partnerships and
hunger-relief programs.
VALUES
Integrity
Accountability
Efficiency
Dignity
After nearly three decades of providing food to all in need, in Fiscal Year
2104, we spent a considerable amount of time looking at where we’ve
been and where we plan to go. To help guide us, Food Bank leadership
and staff developed four strategic priorities for the next three years: Feed,
Lead, Strengthen and Nourish. In formulating our tactics to achieve these
priorities, partnerships played a key role. Without our partners, we would
not have been able to provide food for more than 7.5 million meals to
nearly 36,000 individuals in need last year. Partnerships are integral to
our mission and will ultimately help us achieve our vision of a hunger-free
Larimer County.
Who are our partners?
• Donors. Our donors provide us with food and funds to feed people in
need. From retailers and farmers who donate surplus food to indviduals
and corporations who donate funds, we are grateful for the generosity of
our donors.
• Volunteers. Our voulnteers work the day to day operations necessary
to distribute the food. They sort, they repackage, they cook and clean.
Our volunteers work hand in hand with us every day to provide food for
all in need.
• Agenices. Through our network of 85 partner agencies, we are
able to cast a bigger net to feed more people in need.
• Community. Our community partners provide knowledge, support and
opportunties. They sponsor special events to raise food, funds and
hunger awareness.
In Fiscal Year 2014, partnerships also played a vital role in providing
food to those impacted by the September floods. We worked with several
organizations, including the local and national Red Cross, to help reach
flood victims and determine their needs. Our donors provided food and
funds. Volunteers offered to help sort and deliver food. And our partner
agencies, especially those in Estes Park, helped extend our reach and
distribute additional food.
Whether it’s in our day to day operations or in a time of disaster, we are
grateful to our devoted partners that share our passion make our work
possible.

Programs
Food Share
In FYE 1014, Food Share, our fresh food pantry program with locations in Fort Collins and Loveland, offered free food to 28,669 unduplicated individuals. As a client choice, fresh food pantry, clients
personally selected the items their households wanted and/or needed.
We offered a variety of bread, dairy products, fresh fruits, and vegetables and other non-perishable food items. Food for Food Share was
sourced from our partners, including local retailers, farms and backyard gardeners. On average, clients visited Food Share 3.5 times per
month. Due to the generosity of our donors, we were able to provide
enough food for more than one meal per day.
This program makes our largest impact on hunger-relief in Larimer
County. Nearly 80 percent of the food we distributed went to Food
Share clients. Last fiscal year, Food Share served a variety of individuals, including seniors, students, children, disabled individuals, single
parents, veterans and young families.

Programs
Child Nutrition
Kids Cafe - Meals & Snacks
Kids Cafe is our primary child hunger program. Under the direction of
our registered dietitian, our Kids Cafe provided children, ages 3-18,
who are at risk of hunger, with healthy, made from scratch meals and/
or snacks. We partnered with sites througout Larimer County, including community centers and low income housing complexes to provide
meals 12 months of the year.
• 66,830 meals and 59,585 snacks were served to children at risk of hunger
Kids Link - School Snacks
The Food Bank sponsorsed 41 schools in Poudre and Thompson
School Districts in FYE 2014. Schools with a 50%+ free and reduced
population accessed snacks and fresh produce for free. These snacks
were distributed to students who demonstrated signs of hunger during
the school day and were also distributed during after school programs.
• 128,520 healthy snacks
Backpack - Weekend Food Packs
Last fiscal year, the Backpack program was administered through
partnerships with McKinney (Poudre School District) and Loveland
Rotary (Thompson School District). The program provided homeless
and near homeless children with a pack filled with child-friendly, nonperishable food for the weekend and/or school breaks.
• 18,470 backpacks distributed to homeless and near
homeless children

Food Link
The Food Bank partnered with 85 non-profit organizations in the community for its Food Link program. In FYE 2014, the Food Bank donated
1.38 million pounds of food to these agencies.This partnership saved
these non-profits nearly $2.1 million, which they could then invest in
critical local programming rather than food. Through our partnerships
with local non-profit agencies, we are able to expand our reach and work
towards our vision of a hunger-free Larimer County.

Volunteers
Volunteers are both the hearts and hands of our organization. To give
time freely to help others in need is certainly the sign of a big heart.
Volunteers also give their hands to assist in nearly every aspect of
our operation from cooking meals for our Kids Cafe program to staffing special events.
In Fiscal Year 2014, we partnered with over 1,800 volunteers who
generously contributed more than 30,000 hours – the equivalent to
14 full-time staff! These volunteers helped us collect, sort, repack and
distribute over 9.1 million pounds of food!
With the hearts and hands of dedicated volunteers, we are able to
provide more food to our neighbors in need.

Food Donors
Billions of pounds of food go to waste each year in the United States.
The Food Bank for Larimer County helps to eliminate some of that
waste by rescuing surplus food from manufacturers, distributors, supermarkets, processors and brokers and distributing that food to those
in need. Our food rescue program is an important and viable source of
nutritious food for the Food Bank for Larimer County and our member agencies. Each week, our drivers visit more than 30 local retail
outlets in Larimer County, including Walmart/Sam’s Club, King Soopers, Safeway, Whole Foods, Albertson’s, Entenmann’s, Target and
Sprouts to pick up surplus foods such as fresh meats and produce,
dairy items, baked goods and non-perishable canned goods. This
food is then distributed through our fresh food pantry, Food Share,
and through our 85 member agencies. In Fiscal Year 2014, our Food
Rescue program collected more than
Local Partner Spotlight. In addition to their traditional donations
to the Food Bank, beginning this fiscal year, Noosa began donating
plain yoghurt to our Kids Cafe program so that we could make ranch
dressing from scratch. Kids use the ranch dressing as a dip for fresh
veggies and for salads. Not only is the ranch healthier than packaged
dressing, the kids LOVE it and they’re gobbling up their veggies! In
FYE 2014, Noosa donated 69,108 pounds of yoghurt!
46%
of all food collected
and distributed was

Financial Donors
In Fiscal Year 2014, we received funding from a variety of sources.
From the proceeds of lemonade stands to grants from large foundations and sponsorships from local businesses, we are grateful
to partner with our donors and to be entrusted to use these gifts to
provide food for all in need. Through our networks and efficiencies a
dollar donated to the Food Bank stretches much further than it does at
the grocery store. For every dollar we receive, we can provide enough
food for four meals.
For the eleventh consecutive year, the Food Bank for Larimer County
has received a 4-Star rating from Charity Navigator, America’s largest independent charity evaluator. A 4-star rating indicates that the
Food Bank adheres to good governance and other best practices
that minimize the chance of unethical activities. In addition, it recognizes the Food Bank’s consistent execution of our mission in a fiscally
responsible way. Only 1% of the charities evaluated have received 11
consecutive 4-star evaluations.

Flood Recovery
In September 2013, parts of Northern Colorado, including
Larimer County, were devasted by floods. Immediately following the
flood, the Food Bank worked with the American Red Cross and in the
first two weeks provided more than 26,000 pounds of food in the form
of produce, easy open items and pre-assembled food boxes. After
those centers were shut down, the Food Bank began providing food to
the Disaster Assistance Center in Loveland, and continued to deliver
food for free to that site weekly. In Estes Park the Food Bank delivered additional food to agency partner, Crossroads Ministry, to help
them fill increased needs.
In mid-December, the Food Bank provided 100 emergency food
boxes which were delivered by the Estes Park Police Department as
they visited more rural areas impacted by the floods.
After additional assessments, the Food Bank learned that many of
those impacted by the flood were school aged children and their
families. In response, the Food Bank started operating a pantry at the
Estes Park Middle school. At the first distribution, 45 families received
food.
With the start of the New Year, the Food Bank moved from emergency
service to sustainable solutions in partnership with the Long Term Recovery group headed by the United Way of Larimer County. Through
a generous gift from 9 Cares – Colorado Shares, the Food Bank was
able to purchase King Soopers gift cards for flood relief caseworkers
to distribute to their clients. We are also supporting our Food Share
families who have been affected as a result of the flood.
In total, last fiscal year, we provided food for over 88,000 meals for
individuals and families affected by the floods. Joining forces with a
variety of partners, we were able to help our neighbors as they rebuilt
their lives.
