Explanation
FORM 990 - PART I, LINE I & PART III, LINE 1
Our mission is to end hunger through community partnerships. In the years since our 2001 founding, Second Harvest Heartland has evolved from a food bank focused almost solely on food distribution, to a hunger relief agency that drives efficiency, innovation and collaboration. Today, Second Harvest Heartland is the largest hunger relief agency in the upper Midwest. In FY14, we collected, warehoused and distributed more than 89 million pounds of food to food shelves and other meal programs in our service area. Partnerships with retail donors, government agencies, corporations, foundations, non-profits and individuals coupled with leveraging efficiencies within the organization will allow us to continue to deliver more food. But the emergency food system can't solve the problem of hunger alone, so we are continuing to invest in community outreach efforts, beyond the food bank initiatives that connect those in need with the meals they need to live healthy, productive lives. These programs include the SNAP (The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps) outreach program, through which outreach specialists connect with food shelves, soup kitchens, and other organizations and events to help people understand the program, and to break down barriers to participation - from lack of awareness to complex application processes. One in three people who qualify for SNAP are leaving their benefits on the table in Minnesota. That's the equivalent to millions of already-funded food and financial assistance unclaimed which could also help Minnesota's economy. Hunger-relieving initiatives also include the USDA's SFSP - the Summer Food Service Program - a Minnesota Department of Education Administered program that funds free meals to children 18 and younger during the summertime. We identify high-need areas annually in our collaboration with the Minnesota Department of Education, using school free and reduced meal program data to promote our mini-grants program to eligible agencies and organizations administering SFSP as well as planning our outreach efforts to build awareness to increase child participation, including contacting school districts about the program, etc. FRESH FOOD Increasingly, fresh food is part of the Second Harvest Heartland offering, as retail partners and growers join hunger-relief efforts and continue to contribute more fresh food. In fact, fresh foods comprised more than 49% of all food distributed throughout the fiscal year. Of this amount, more than 32.5 million pounds were distributed through our food rescue program - obtained from grocery and convenience store donors, and largely comprised of nutritious food such as produce, meat and dairy options. Partnerships continued to be formed or expanded in FY14 with Minnesota growers and farmers, in an effort to further capture some of the more of the 200+ million pounds of crops- corn, potatoes, apples, watermelon, squash and more - that are either plowed under or unsold each year in our state. This year, the produce capture (Share Fresh) program collected more than 8.5 million pounds of sweet corn, potatoes, apples, cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, watermelon, green beans, peppers, squash, tomatoes and other produce. VOLUNTEER PROGRAM Our volunteer program is a vital component of our efforts to bring more food to those who are hungry in our community. Volunteers provide crucial support to our continued growth in food distribution, particularly in the areas of our food rescue program and Share Fresh, which provide opportunities for us to provide increased nutritious food streams for those in need. In order to meet this rapidly growing demand, and to better serve our volunteers, Second Harvest Heartland in FY14, was able to engage more than 33,000 individual volunteers who contributed more than 147,000 hours - the equivalent of almost 70 full time employees. Volunteers play a vital role in other programming efforts: Packing boxes and helping to distribute them for our commodities supplemental food program (CSFP), and helping people apply for CSFP and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Continued growth in our volunteer program is vital to helping us continue to meet our goals to feed those in need.
