spring/ summer 2014

After such a long and cold winter, I was happy to see the arrival of spring, and to leave the snow

behind. I’m sure our drivers are particularly glad, and I’m proud to say that our delivery team did an amazing job bringing nutritious meals to our clients despite difficult road conditions these past few months.

Of course, we could not do this without so many of you who braved the elements and came out to support us — as volunteers, at events, and online through social media. The many dozens of corporate volunteer groups along with hundreds of individual volunteers each week help to make God’s Love a special place in our community. Thank you for your dedicated service.

On a less positive note, we were dismayed to see the recent, needlessly cruel food stamp cuts passed by Congress. These cuts have painful implications for those who count on government assistance to feed their families, including many of our clients.

Research shows that malnutrition is associated with poor medical care outcomes and is one of the leading causes of hospitalization nationwide. These drastic cuts will force many food-insecure individuals to make critical choices between nutritious food and cheaper, unhealthy food – and sometimes even medication – ultimately putting them at increased risk for long-term and even more severe health problems.

Meal programs like God’s Love We Deliver, which delivers nutritious meals to the severely ill in the New York metropolitan area, and other programs such as food banks and pantries will be forced to confront head-on the void left by the cut in SNAP benefits. Many organizations that are already stretched thin may not be able to meet the subsequent demand. Our most vulnerable neighbors – the sick, the elderly and the young – will suffer as a consequence. We hope that congress will recognize the true impact of these cuts and reverse this course.

While we are fighting for better policies to support our clients, other heartwarming things are happening. With the first sunny week of spring, we again celebrated Authors In Kind, hosted by bestselling author and God’s Love Board Member Linda Fairstein. This year’s lineup of stellar authors for our annual literary luncheon included Barbara Ehrenreich and Robin Cook, as well as Chef Michael Anthony from the Gramercy Tavern. While Michael spoke about the new Gramercy Tavern Cookbook, I’m also delighted to share that Michael has joined our board. Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s luncheon such a special event.

If you happen to walk by our SoHo building at Sixth Avenue and Spring Street, you will notice that there is not much of the old building left. Believe me, that’s a good sign as tremendous progress is being made on our building expansion. All demolition has been completed, the pilings that will support the new structure over our former loading dock have been driven, and the steel is being carefully added to build the third, fourth and fifth floors. In

the coming weeks, the building will start to take shape, and with it our vision for expanded services to more people living with life-altering illnesses. In terms of fundraising, we have raised more than $31 million towards our $36 million goal. And, we just launched our “1,000 Tiles for Love” campaign, which many of you have been asking about. You can now purchase a tile in honor or in memory of a loved one. These tiles will be displayed in the lobby, and all these gifts will support our new building. You can find full information about the Tile program at glwd.org/tilesforlove. The great news is that we are on schedule to return to our expanded home in SoHo in early 2015.

Of course, all of our efforts are in service to our vulnerable clients, and I am happy to report the findings from our recent client survey: 91% of our clients say that our program helps them live more independently, 90% say that the meals they receive help them eat more nutritiously than they would otherwise, and 88% report reduced household food anxiety as a result of our program. That’s the enormous difference you are making. Your contribution matters. Your volunteer service matters. Thank you so much for helping to nourish so many of our neighbors in need.

Federal forecasters are predicting that food prices will rise as much as 3.5% this year, the biggest annual increase in three years, as drought in parts of the U.S. and other

producing regions drives up prices for many agricultural goods. In the U.S., much of the rise in the food cost comes from higher meat and dairy prices, but prices also are higher for fruits and vegetables according to government data.

Like everyone, these price increases pose a challenge for God’s Love. From the very beginning we have held to three core principles: because hunger is a crisis that demands an urgent response, we will never charge a client for a meal; we will deliver a new client’s first meal on the next delivery day; and we will never have a waiting list for our services.

To defray these increases, we don’t have the option to switch to less-expensive ingredients, raise prices or reduce services to maintain our program. Because our clients are severely ill, their diet demands food cooked for their unique medical circumstances.

With the help of our community, we were able to stay true to our principles throughout the recession. A new challenge awaits us this year. We hope you will join with us this summer to help us weather rising food costs and deliver vital nutrition to those who desperately need it.

Figures are from a Wall Street Journal Article entitled, “Food Prices Surge as Drought Exacts a High Toll on Crops” appearing on March 18, 2014

We frequently talk about the dedication of our volunteers, many of whom have been

with us for 5, 10, 15 years, or more. James Strickland has been volunteering for 27 years. James is one of our very first volunteers, back before we even had a kitchen or a building to call our own. It’s amazing to think of all the lives he has touched over nearly three decades by sparing a lunch hour to bring a meal and some company to his fellow New Yorkers in need.

name: James strickland

Volunteer shift: I deliver meals during lunchtime to clients throughout Manhattan on Mondays, Wednesdays, and fridays as needed.

Volunteering since: I have been a volunteer since 1987. In the early years before god’s Love had its own cooking facilities, volunteers like myself picked up meals at restaurants (donated and prearranged) to take to clients after 5pm

for dinner. There were so many wonderful, generous restaurants providing food. god’s Love also had donation cans which were placed on counters and tables in various businesses throughout the boroughs. I had two routes to maintain placing empty cans, retrieving money, replacing cans and returning cash to the office coordinator.

How did you find out about god’s Love? As a social worker, I was informed of god’s Love during a staff meeting regarding client services in the homeless shelter where I worked at the time.

What do you enjoy most about volunteering? I really enjoy being a part of god’s Love, and participating in an organization with so many wonderful, loving, caring, giving and compassionate people. I began to volunteer soon after the loss of my partner. I wanted to be a part of being there for those in need to honor his memory and to give back for all my family, friends and others who

had been there for us during very difficult times.

This winter was particularly difficult, weather-wise, and delivering was no easy feat. What kept you going? We had a severe winter this year. I made it through the snow and ice like all the other volunteers and delivered the meals.

is there anything you’d like to share with our god’s Love community? I’ve known god’s Love for all these years and I like it just as much now as I did in the beginning. I really like being a part of it and it helps a lot of people. I’m behind this organization all the way. I’ll volunteer as long as I’m feeling good and can handle it. I love how it gets me out of the house, and I love doing something worthwhile.

People tend to think that NY is a very hard, cold city, but I have found that New York has the nicest people. I’ve been all over this country and NYC has some of the nicest people I’ve ever met who really care about one another. New York is a very large city and god’s Love brings us all together as a smaller community. We’re helping those who need help.

Calendar god’s Love delivers to ViolaSince the age of seven, Viola Davis

has been caring for her family. She has fond memories of

having to use a chair to help her stand over the stove to cook dinner for her loved ones, which included her ten siblings. In the 1950s she moved from North Carolina to Brooklyn with her husband and five children. To help provide for her family, she worked as a salesperson in a shoe store. For many years, Viola worked hard to provide for her family; she took great pride in having the ability to support them.

Today, at 84 years old, Viola is not as strong as she used to be. These days, it’s hard for her to get the strength to walk. Last year, Viola was diagnosed with breast cancer. Almost immediately she began chemotherapy treatments at the local hospital, which left her weakened and exhausted. Each chemotherapy session lasted two to three hours, and in the days after, Viola could barely get out of bed she was so tired.

A social worker at the hospital suggested that Viola call God’s Love to get healthy, delicious meals delivered right to her door, so she wouldn’t have to worry about cooking or shopping. Viola called and began receiving her deliveries three times a week.

Viola depends on her son and grandson to help her around the house and take her to doctor appointments. She tells us what a relief it is to receive meals from God’s Love and how much she appreciates the appetizing food. She says, “The nutritionists are so

nice and they make sure I am getting the right food!” One of the after – effects of chemotherapy treatment is a loss in appetite, and Viola tells us that the vegetables, chicken, beans, rice and more are delicious, and she is excited to eat the food she receives each day.

In addition to living with breast cancer, Viola also has diabetes. Managing the two illnesses can be very difficult, and she has to be very careful with what she eats. She is grateful to have our nutritionists to help her deal with the dual diagnoses. Viola tells us, “It would be so hard without God’s Love. You have helped me out a lot. It makes me feel good that someone is in my corner, willing to lend a hand.”

Now that Viola rarely leaves the house, she appreciates the visits she gets from her delivery volunteers. She says, “When the volunteers come with my delivery, I hug them!”

national Volunteer Week

at god’s LoveOn Sunday, April 6, we

launched National Volunteer Week at God’s Love We

Deliver. We decorated and had lots of special treats in the Volunteer Lounge. Our volunteers are truly the backbone of God’s Love and we are thankful for their service every day of the year. But it is always nice to have a reason to show some extra love and gratitude for all the time, energy and hard work. Each one of our volunteers has made the conscious decision to make God’s Love a part of his or her life. And while we certainly have a lot of fun here, it’s not always easy. Whether it is coming to the kitchen at the crack of dawn or after a

long day at work, making walking deliveries in the rain or snow, sitting in traffic while van assisting, tackling an overwhelming amount of client voicemails or traveling an hour on the train to package meal kits, our volunteers all make sacrifices that help us cook and deliver over 1 million meals each year to our clients. It is an astounding number and behind each meal is chopping, scooping, wrapping, delivering, lifting, filing, calling, kitting and caring. From all of us at God’s Love and on behalf of our clients, we thank all of our volunteers for their dedicated service.

On Saturday, March 29, 2014, God’s Love We Deliver joined The Imperial Court of New York, Edie Windsor, Sandra Bernhard,

Justin Vivian Bond, Martha Reeves, Joe and Jane Clementi, Marsha Mason, the True Colors Fund, Expose and hundreds of other supporters and guests for the 28th Annual Night of a Thousand Gowns. It was a fabulous night, and God’s Love was honored to be one of the evening’s beneficiaries.

Once a year the New York LGBT community comes together for this unique gala fund raiser, one that rises above all others for over-the-top glamour and fun. This year’s Night of a Thousand Gowns was a special one for God’s Love, marking the third time we have been honored as a beneficiary, something we shared with our friends at the True Colors fund. We all enjoyed the red carpet, black tie dinner, dance, and coronation ball.

God’s Love would once again like to thank The Imperial Court of New York for their generous support throughout the years and at this year’s very special ball. It was a night of fabulousness, of course, but also history, glamour, love and generosity. Thank you all!

As part of our overall nutrition education efforts, the Nutrition Services Department provides

free nutrition workshops to community members. Multiple times a month, our Registered Dietitians (RDs) visit community-based organizations, outpatient health centers and senior centers to provide nutrition workshops and cooking demonstrations on a variety of topics. Held in multiple languages, the classes increase nutritional understanding and provide tangible examples in practice. Classes are targeted to specific groups including seniors, caregivers, families and

people living with serious illnesses like HIV and cancer. Examples of workshop topics include symptom management, healthy cooking techniques, and shopping on a budget.

Throughout the year, the Nutrition Services Department also provides educational events for God’s Love staff and volunteers, culminating in March with the celebration of National Nutrition Month. This past March, the Nutrition Services Department sponsored four events featuring four under-appreciated nutrition superstars: kohlrabi, ginger, buckwheat, and chia seeds. The purpose was to start a dialogue about the benefits of these foods, as well as their uses, and to taste them in various forms.

Over the past year, our RDs reached nearly 3,000 community members through 67 presentations throughout New York City. We have expanded our capacity for teleconferencing in order to reach more people, including meal program clients who are not able to attend community workshops due to geography,

illness, time, or physical limitations. This has made it easier for those who may not be well enough to travel consistently or have other constraints. The ability to join via teleconference has been especially important for caregivers who cannot leave the home and badly need the support.

Our RDs specialize in HIV nutrition, oncology, food safety, gastrointestinal disease, senior nutrition and cooking, and give hands-on training to many groups. They offer workshops in English, Chinese and Spanish. Relevant nutrition education materials and our nutrition publications are made available to participants to reinforce the sessions. Many of these are available as downloads on our website. Visit glwd.org/nutritionpublications for more information.

On May 2, God’s Love reached a historic milestone

when we cooked and delivered our 15 millionth meal. It is amazing to see how far we’ve come since God’s Love began in 1985, when our founder, Ganga Stone, delivered one meal to one man dying of HIV/AIDS. Now, we cook and deliver more than 1 million meals a year.

We were very pleased to be joined by many volunteers and supporters including the incomparable Joan Rivers, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, and New York City Council Members Corey Johnson and Robert Cornegy.

Over the years, God’s Love has seen many changes, perhaps most importantly when we expanded our mission to include people living with all severe illnesses. However, as much as things change, some things always stay the same. We are still guided by three core principles: a meal will be delivered on the first delivery day after a client calls for help; we will never charge our clients

for our services; and, we will never have a waiting list.

We continue to work on the model of one person delivering a meal to another person who is too sick to take care of the most basic need – the need for food and nutrition. And, we still have thousands of volunteers who pour their hearts and their love into every meal that we cook and deliver.

Some things do change and improve. Our menu

continues to evolve to reflect the most current nutrition research. We offer specialized menus like renal diets and pureed options to address specific medical conditions. We are doing more with sustainable agriculture by utilizing local dairy and produce farmers.

We could not do what we do without your help. We would like to give a heartfelt thank you to our incredible volunteers and supporters for making this work possible, and for contributing so much time and love to help us reach this amazing milestone.

Leadership summit Dinner at James Beard House

On February 11, God’s Love leaders from our Board of Directors, Leadership Council, and Chairman’s Council joined together to support God’s Love at our

first annual Leadership Summit Dinner, held at the James Beard House. Gramercy Tavern Executive Chef and God’s Love Board Member Michael Anthony prepared a wonderful meal with the help of his team from Gramercy Tavern.

Board Chair Scott Bruckner spoke briefly about our amazing growth. Expansion Campaign Chair Michael Sennott delivered an update on the success of our building renovation. Karen Pearl closed the program with a toast to our incredible leadership team. Our thanks to Michael Anthony and his extraordinary staff for the delicious meal. And, an extra-special thanks to Nick and Maryann Kavallieratos, who underwrote the dinner and evening’s festivities, making such an important gathering possible for all of us. Thank you, Maryann and Nick!

Vans

We would like to thank the following partners who recently helped with our

massive, daily five-borough distribution effort by each purchasing a van for our delivery department: John Idol, Michael Kors, Aerin Lauder, Mark and Gaby Lehrer, M•A•C AIDS Fund, Bruce Nelson, and Eric Zinterhoffer. Thank you so much!

At the beginning of the new year, we were very fortunate to have received a generous donation of Chobani Greek Yogurt. A variety of flavors, we sent these yogurts to our

clients in their deliveries. Greek yogurt is a wonderful addition to our meals, and while some clients may not be immediately familiar with Greek yogurt, we are excited that they will have the opportunity to try and enjoy it. It is a highly nutritious food that is a good source of protein, calcium and probiotics. Chuck the Baker also used yogurt in several delicious dessert recipes for our clients. Thank you, Chobani!
