Explanation
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
THE BLAINE COUNTY HUNGER COALITION STRIVES TO END HUNGER IN OUR COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING WHOLESOME FOOD TO THOSE IN NEED AND BY PROMOTING SOLUTIONS TO THE UNDERLYING CAUSES OF HUNGER THROUGH COLLABORATION, EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY.
FORM 990, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 6
THE BLAINE COUNTY HUNGER COALITION BENEFITED FROM A TOTAL OF 6,319 VOLUNTEER HOURS IN FY ENDING 6/30/14. VOLUNTEERS COLLECT, SORT, WEIGH, TRACK AND DISTRIBUTE FOOD FOR THE MOBILE FOOD BANK PROGRAM. THEY STUFF AND DELIVER BACKPACKS FOR THE BACKPACK PROGRAM. THEY TEACH CLIENTS BASIC COMPUTER, NUTRITION AND LIFE SKILLS THROUGH OUR MENTORING & EDUCATION PROGRAMS. THEY HELP TRACK THE AMOUNT OF FOOD COLLECTED AND DISTRIBUTED, AND THE NUMBER OF VOLUNTEER HOURS DONATED WEEKLY. THEY HOLD FOOD DRIVES AND HELP WITH FUNDRAISING AND AWARENESS EVENTS.
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A
WE IMPLEMENTED ONE NEW CHILDREN'S FOOD PROGRAM CALLED DAILY BITES TO PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION TO STUDENTS IN NEED, AND WE EXPANDED OUR SUMMER FOOD PROGRAM TO INCLUDE A SACK LUNCH DELIVERY DIRECTLY TO UNDERSERVED NEIGHBORHOODS. SPECIFIC PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1. MOBILE FOOD BANK DURING THIS TIME PERIOD, THE MOBILE FOOD BANK PROGRAM DISTRIBUTED THE EQUIVALENT OF 139,318 MEALS' WORTH OF ESSENTIAL SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION TO LOCAL FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING HUNGER. FOR THE 400 CHILDREN AND ADULTS RECEIVING FOOD ASSISTANCE MONTHLY, WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE 4,791 FOOD BOXES. OUR GLEANING PROGRAM BROUGHT IN 2,961 POUNDS OF FRESH, LOCAL FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. OUR PERISHABLES PROGRAM RESCUED 42,606 POUNDS OF PERISHABLE AND NON-PERISHABLE FOODS FOR DISTRIBUTION THROUGH OUR MOBILE FOOD BANK. COMBINED WITH OUR PURCHASING PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL GROCERY STORES, WE WERE ABLE TO SAVE NEARLY 200,000 IN FOOD COSTS DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. 2. EMPOWERMENT SERVICES IN KEEPING WITH OUR STATED MISSION, WE ACTIVELY ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING CAUSES OF HUNGER AND PROMOTE LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS THROUGH COLLABORATION, ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION. ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED TO SUPPORT OUR MOBILE FOOD BANK PROGRAM, OUR EMPOWERMENT SERVICES CONTINUED TO EXPAND DURING THIS TIME PERIOD WITH THE SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF A SERIES OF NUTRITION EDUCATION CLASSES CALLED COOKING MATTERS IN COLLABORATION WITH THE IDAHO FOODBANK. COOKING MATTERS IS A NATIONAL COOKING-BASED, NUTRITION EDUCATION PROGRAM THAT TEACHES FAMILIES HOW TO PREPARE HEALTHY, TASTY MEALS ON A LIMITED BUDGET. THIS SIX-WEEK SERIES ALLOWS PARTICIPANTS TO LEARN TOGETHER IN A FUN ENVIRONMENT, THEN PRACTICE THEIR NEW SKILLS BY RECREATING THE DAY'S ENTRE AT HOME WITH INGREDIENTS GIVEN TO THEM AFTER EACH CLASS. 3. SNACKPACK CLUB INITIATED IN 2008, THE BACKPACK CLUB, NOW CALLED THE SNACKPACK PROGRAM, IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO FEED HUNGRY STUDENTS OVER THE WEEKENDS AND AFTER SCHOOL WHEN THEY ARE OUTSIDE THE SAFETY NET OF THE SCHOOL MEALS PROGRAM. PROGRAM-SPECIFIC FOOD ORDERS PROVIDE HEALTHY, SHELF-STABLE, EASY TO PREPARE FOOD THAT CHILDREN TAKE HOME AT THE END OF EVERY WEEK TO SUPPLEMENT THEIR OVERALL NUTRITION ON THE WEEKENDS AND AFTER SCHOOL. DURING THE 2013-2014 SCHOOL YEAR, 123 STUDENTS PER WEEK ON AVERAGE RECEIVED EASY-TO-PREPARE SNACKS AND MEALS, WITH A HIGH OF 190 STUDENTS SEEN IN FEBRUARY. THE HUNGER COALITION DISTRIBUTED A TOTAL OF 4,540 SNACKPACKS DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. 4. INFANT FORMULA INITIATIVE WE BEGAN OUR INFANT FORMULA INITIATIVE AT THE END OF 2005 IN RESPONSE TO REPORTS FROM PUBLIC HEALTH AND OTHER COMMUNITY AGENCIES THAT MANY FAMILIES WERE EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY IN PROVIDING SUFFICIENT NOURISHMENT FOR THEIR INFANTS. WHILE MANY NEW MOTHERS QUALIFY FOR GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES OF FORMULA, THE AMOUNT PROVIDED IS NOT ALWAYS SUFFICIENT TO MEET THE NUTRITIONAL NEEDS OF THEIR NEW BABIES. THIS SERVICE PROVIDES VITAL NUTRITION AND NOURISHMENT TO INFANTS WHO WOULD OTHERWISE BE AT SERIOUS RISK OF EXPERIENCING CHRONIC HUNGER. THIS PROGRAM IS NOT AN ONGOING SOURCE OF ASSISTANCE FOR A FAMILY. IT FILLS A CRUCIAL NEED IN THE LIVES OF THE MOST VULNERABLE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. DURING THIS REPORTING TIME PERIOD, WE PROVIDED THE EQUIVALENT OF 1,395 BOTTLES OF INFANT FORMULA, GIVING OUT NEARLY 100 TWELVE AND A HALF OUNCE CANS OF FORMULA TO SUPPLEMENT INFANTS' NUTRITIONAL LEVELS. 5. PAWS FOR HUNGER INITIATED IN 2010, PAWS FOR HUNGER IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN OUR LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER AND THE HUNGER COALITION. THE PROGRAM ADDRESSES THE NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WITH A PET WHO FIND THEMSELVES IN A POSITION OF HAVING TO CHOOSE BETWEEN FEEDING THEIR FAMILY AND FEEDING THEIR BELOVED PET. FOR FAMILIES ALREADY FACING SEEMINGLY INSURMOUNTABLE CHALLENGES AND CHILDREN COPING WITH CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CAN BE FRIGHTENING, IT IS BENEFICIAL FOR ALL TO KEEP THESE FAMILIES AND PETS TOGETHER. DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD, WE DISTRIBUTED 814 BAGS OF PET FOOD TO FAMILIES IN NEED. 6. DAILY BITES DAILY BITES IS A NEW PROGRAM LAUNCHED IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND SUMMER CAMPS THROUGHOUT BLAINE COUNTY IN RESPONSE TO FEEDBACK FROM TEACHERS, PARENTS AND STUDENTS ABOUT THE CHALLENGES CHILDREN IN NEED CONTINUE TO FACE IN OUR COMMUNITY. THIS PROGRAM SUPPLIES A HEALTHY SNACK AND SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD PANTRY TO SUPPORT STUDENTS IN NEED. A PILOT PROGRAM WAS INITIATED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD SUPPLYING 134 CHILDREN WITH REGULAR SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION DURING THE 2013-2014 SCHOOL YEAR AND INTO THE SUMMER. 7. SUMMER FOOD PROGRAM & SACK LUNCH PROGRAM WE REALIZE THERE ARE MANY CHILDREN WHO CANNOT ACCESS OUR EXISTING SUMMER FOOD PROGRAM MEALS DUE TO TRANSPORTATION BARRIERS. IN SUMMER 2013, WE INITIATED A PILOT SACK LUNCH PROGRAM AS AN ADDITION TO OUR SUMMER FOOD PROGRAM IN COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL SUMMER CAMPS. EACH WEDNESDAY WE DELIVERED SACK LUNCHES TO 22 STUDENTS ON SCHOLARSHIPS AT THE SUMMER CAMPS. BEGINNING IN JUNE 2014, WE EXPANDED THE SACK LUNCH PROGRAM FROM ONE TO FIVE DAYS PER WEEK AND INCLUDED AN ON-SITE LUNCH EXPERIENCE FOR A LOW INCOME NEIGHBORHOOD. WITH THE EXPANSION, WE WERE ABLE TO INCREASE SERVICE TO 51 CHILDREN BY JUNE 30, 2014 (THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD) AND CONTINUED TO REACH EVEN MORE CHILDREN THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE SUMMER. IN TOTAL, WE WERE ABLE TO FEED 464 CHILDREN OVER THE SUMMER THROUGH THESE PROGRAMS.
