Making real and lasting
improvements in the
lives of those we
feed and clothe
Welcome
Fall 2014
Dear Neighbor,
Neighbor to Neighbor is a nonprofit
organization dedicated to
serving residents in need throughout
the Greenwich area.
We improve lives by providing
for the exchange of food, clothing
and basic living essentials in an
atmosphere of kindness and respect.
This year marks Neighbor to Neighbor’s 40th year providing material
assistance to our neighbors who need our help. In 1975 we opened our
doors when a group of concerned Greenwich women began collecting
gently used clothing and distributing it to neighbors. In the mid-1980’s
we began a food distribution program at the request of the Greenwich
Department of Social Services. Since then we have grown to provide
food and clothing at no cost to thousands of local residents each year,
all out of two small basement spaces at Christ Church Greenwich.
We invite you to come to see your support at work.
We are proud of what, together, we have been able to accomplish
over the past 40 years and how we have met and are meeting our
challenges. It is our pleasure to share with you our 2013-2014 annual
Report to the Community, outlining some of these accomplishments
from the past year. As we look to our future, we want you to know
how much we value working together to meet the needs of our
neighbors with our signature dedication to “kindness and respect.”
Thank you for all you do for Neighbor to Neighbor.

Thank You for All You Accomplished in
Our 2013-2014 Fiscal Year
Food
• Over 640 families received 300,000 meals of fresh produce, whole
wheat bread, milk, chicken, ground beef, dry and canned goods and
fresh pastries
Healthy Food Makes the Difference
• 300 children received 12,000 summer lunches to bridge the gap left by
the lack of free or reduced-price school-based meals
• Over 500 families enjoyed Thanksgiving turkey dinners thanks to the
generosity of Kings Food Markets, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney and
St. Michael the Archangel
• Local high school girls received prom and graduation dresses during
our first annual prom dress event, a collaboration with the Greenwich
High School Former Attire club
• Hundreds of families received the rare treat of brand new sheets thanks
to a new partnership with the Needs Clearing House
• The National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger drive
generated a record 43,000 pounds of donated food, in bags provided
by Kings Food Markets
• Almost 100 people attended our screening of the acclaimed
documentary A Place at the Table, followed by a moderated panel
discussion on issues of food insecurity in our area
• The Greenwich High School Neighbor to Neighbor Club launched,
deepening our partnership with the many students who keep our
work vibrant
• 250 volunteers provided 19,000 hours of service to nourish our
community
• 2,600 residents of Greenwich, Stamford and Port Chester received
16,000 bags of in-season clothing, hats, mittens, coats, diapers,
household items and books
• Local schools, companies, community groups and houses of worship
ran hundreds of clothing, food and diaper drives, improving the
lives of thousands of area residents through the provision of basic
living essentials
You make this happen every day through your dedication and support.
We thank you for all you do.
Hunger is on the rise throughout the United States, and our
community is not immune. Half a million people in Connecticut,
1 in 7 households, struggle to put food on the table. In Fairfield
County 35,000 children live in food-insecure households. And
right here in Greenwich, the number of students receiving free and
subsidized school lunch has doubled since 2005 to nearly 15%.
In the past year, Neighbor to Neighbor provided healthy food at
no cost to over 640 local families. We don’t just fill plates; we promote
healthy diets. Research shows that children who lack adequate
nutrition are 90% more likely to be reported by doctors as having
“fair or poor” overall health and 31% more likely to be hospitalized in
childhood. Children who lack proper nutrition are 140% more likely
to suffer from iron deficiency or iron deficiency anemia, the two most
common nutritional deficiencies in America. They also are more likely
to experience a variety of behavioral and learning difficulties. These
are startling statistics, but thanks to the many who support our work,
we are able to improve the health of the families who rely on us for
weekly food.
“My family loves the fresh food
from Neighbor to Neighbor.
It’s fresh, healthy and good.”
Food
Food
Each week, every family receives:
•Whole wheat bread
•Fresh produce
•Chicken or ground beef
“Our farm is proud to participate
in Neighbor to Neighbor’s
fresh produce program.”
•Milk
•Dry and canned goods including peanut butter, tuna, jelly, cereal,
beans, vegetables, fruit, juice, pasta and rice
Fresh Produce
Studies have linked food insecurity to obesity, primarily resulting
from the economic inability to access fresh, healthy food. Obesity in
turn is a cause of cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes in
adults. Since 1980, the relative cost of fresh, healthy food has increased
by 40%, while at the same time the relative cost of high-sugar, low
nutrient food has decreased by 40%. This puts fresh produce out of
the reach of many Americans. In response, Neighbor to Neighbor has
increased partnerships with local farmers and community gardeners to
provide fresh, locally-grown produce to our clients.
Thank you to the following farms, houses of worship and community
organizations supporting our fresh produce program:
•Augustine’s Farm
•The Back Forty Farm
•Brunswick Agricultural Club
Who We Are
Neighbor to Neighbor provides
over 300,000 healthy meals annually.
Our clients include seniors,
working poor, unemployed, adults
with physical, emotional or
intellectual challenges, and others.
Half of those we serve are children.

“We are thankful for
Neighbor to Neighbor!”
Thanksgiving For All
In 2012 we began our annual Thanksgiving Turkey distribution with
the assistance of Kings Food Market in Old Greenwich. With very
little refrigerated storage, we knew we’d have to distribute the turkeys
all at once. We were delighted when 250 clients lined up to wait for
the truck and each happily received a beautiful turkey for their holiday
dinner. In 2013 we distributed turkeys to over 600 families. Thanks
to Kings Food Market, St. Michael the Archangel, Morgan Stanley
Smith Barney, and countless individuals and organizations, our clients
know the true meaning of Thanksgiving.
Clothing Room
Since 1975, Neighbor to Neighbor has been the only place in
Greenwich for low-income adults and families to receive gently used
clothing, household items and linens at no cost. We serve over 2,600
local individuals each year in our Clothing Room, and we know our
clients are more confident when not embarrassed about their clothing.
A good quality suit makes all the difference in a job interview. A warm
coat delivers children safely to school. This winter one grateful client
arrived off the bus for emergency food with raw, frozen hands and
received warm gloves and a hat, delivered with a warm smile and
words of encouragement from our volunteers.
We work closely with schools, civic organizations and houses of
worship to conduct clothing and diaper drives year round to keep our
Clothing Room well-stocked. This past year we provided:
•16,000 bags of gently used clothing, coats, shoes, hats and mittens
Summer Meals
•2,100 sets of sheets and blankets
Plenty of kids get their best meal of the day in school. In fact, nearly
15% of Greenwich students receive free or reduced-price school-based
meals—twice the number in 2005. But what happens to these students
in the summer? Neighbor to Neighbor steps in to bridge the gap.
We provide extra food to school aged children to make five lunches
each week throughout the summer. These healthy foods include tuna,
peanut butter and jelly, fruits and vegetables, milk and bread. In the
summer of 2013 we provided 12,000 meals to 300 students.
•Over 1,000 sets of dishes, pots and pans
•1,100 sets of towels
•60 new layettes
“Neighbor the Neighbor
helps me with clothes
for my children.”
Clothing
A Place at the Table
“I didn’t have a dress
to wear to prom. Now I’ll go
and have fun with my friends.”
Prom Dresses
This year Neighbor to Neighbor paired up with the Former Attire Club
of Greenwich High School for a new initiative. With the beautiful
Tomes-Higgins House as the backdrop, volunteers set up racks to display
new and gently used prom dresses. High school girls from Greenwich and
Port Chester received 27 dresses. Each young woman was able to find a
dress that fit perfectly and looked stunning. The distribution now will be
an annual event in partnership with Greenwich High School.
Linens
Neighbor to Neighbor’s founding intent was to provide a place where
those who have connect with those who need. That’s exactly what
we have done by partnering with Needs Clearing House to meet the
chronic need for good quality linens. Together we provided over 500
people last year with new sheets, duvet covers and pillow cases from
Starwood Hotels, and gently used linens from Nathaniel Witherell.
Neighbor to Neighbor
Engages the Community
In October, 2013, Neighbor to Neighbor partnered with the Greenwich
Library to present the award-winning documentary, A Place at the Table
in the Cole Auditorium. The film screening was followed by a panel
discussion of area experts on poverty, obesity, children’s health and
learning, moderated by Greenwich United Way CEO Stuart Adelberg.
Here is some of what we learned about hunger in America:
• Almost one in five children consistently lack adequate nutritious food
to be healthy.
• Food insecure children are 90% more likely to have “fair/poor” health
reported by their doctors.
• Childhood hunger inhibits brain development and is associated with
greater childhood hospitalizations, impaired ability to learn, and higher
anxiety and depression.
• 50 million Americans rely on charitable food programs.
• The average food stamp allotment is less than $1.50 per meal.
• The relative price of fresh fruits and vegetables has gone up by 40%
since 1980, while the relative cost of processed food has gone down
by 40%.
• In 1980, there were 200 food pantries and soup kitchens in America.
Today there are more than 40,000.
Volunteers
Volunteers Make it Happen
Hundreds of volunteers of all ages and backgrounds dedicate their time
to sort, fold, date check food donations and assist our clients. They help
with food drives, work on Board committees, and plan special events.
They make our work possible and we are extremely grateful for their
care and dedication. Thank you to the many community groups who,
together with our regular weekly volunteers, contributed more than
9,000 hours of service last year.

Christ Church Greenwich
As we celebrate our 40th anniversary this
year, we also celebrate the longstanding
partnership we share with Christ Church
Greenwich. Forty years ago the Church
opened its doors to allow us to begin
collecting and redistributing gently
used clothing, the roots of what is now
a critical part of the fabric of the greater
Greenwich community. In 2005, in response to increasing demand in the
community for our services, Christ Church dedicated what had been its
youth room to us. This allowed us to create the area’s first client choice
food pantry. Rather than pack groceries and pass them through a
doorway to our clients, we were able to create what operates functionally
as a small grocery store, permitting clients to select from a variety of
nutritious foods. Each Sunday Christ Church parishioners generously fill
the little red wagons that wait by the door of the sanctuary with food
for our pantry. Volunteers assist in a variety of roles, and the Outreach
Committee provides critically needed financial support.
As demand continues to grow, we find ourselves again in need of
additional space. Christ Church parishioners responded overwhelmingly
this past June by voting to approve a resolution dedicating a plot of land
on the Christ Church campus to Neighbor to Neighbor under a long
term ground lease. Neighbor will build a new center for our food pantry
and clothing room, greatly improving our service to the community.
Says Christ Church Reverend Jim Lemler, “The people of Christ Church
Greenwich are thankful for the essential programs offered by Neighbor
to Neighbor and value our partnership with this unique organization.
We value these 40 years of working together and look forward to an
exciting future of new relationship, opportunities, and facilities. Christ
Church’s motto is ‘Nourishment for the Journey,’ and together Neighbor
to Neighbor and this congregation provide needed nourishment for
body and spirit.”
We are indebted to the Christ Church community and grateful for it’s
many years of vital support.
Thank you to the thousands of donors who generously contributed
funds, food, clothing, household items, services or time during our
fiscal year ending May 31, 2014.Your donations help us provide for
those in need in our community.
