Feeding America is the nation’s leading
domestic hunger-relief organization. Our
mission is to feed America’s hungry through
a nationwide network of member food
banks and engage our country in the fight
to end hunger.
Each year, the Feeding America network

people facing hunger in the United States,
including 12 million children and 7 million
seniors. Through 200 member food banks
and 60,000 food pantries and meal
programs, the Feeding America network
serves all 50 states, the District of Columbia
and Puerto Rico. Together we secure nearly
4 billion pounds of food annually, which
provides 3.3 billion meals directly to
individuals and families in need.

OUR LEADERSBRINGING HOPE TO 46 MILLION PEOPLE
Dear Friends,
What began 35 years ago as a small group of dedicated food bank leaders is now the
nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief organization—a powerful and efficient network
of 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs. Today, we respond
to the hunger crisis by not only providing food to people in need, but also building
collaborative long-term solutions to address root causes of hunger.
While food insecurity rates remain the highest ever recorded—1 in 6 Americans face
hunger—people like you have made the difference because you believe in the possibility
of a hunger-free America. You believe that no child or neighbor of yours should go to
bed hungry or wake up wondering where his or her next meal might come from.
As businesses, charities, individuals and government agencies, we all have a role to play in getting more food to
people in need. Your engagement has galvanized us to think boldly about our role. Feeding America is committed
to feeding the nation by more comprehensively addressing the meal gap, the 8.6 billion meals missing from families’
tables each year, and leading the movement to end hunger in our country.
This year the Feeding America network of food banks provided our neighbors with 3.3 billion meals, a quarter of
which were comprised of fruits and vegetables. Together we protected hunger-relief legislation from harmful cuts,
released groundbreaking research, increased public support, and strengthened programs that reach vulnerable
populations like children and seniors.
Your generosity inspired growth in donations of both food and funds and made Feeding America a $2.1 billion
nonprofit organization, which has enabled us to reach more men, women and children than ever before. Together
we provide meals for more than 46 million people to help them lead healthier, more active lives.
Together, a hunger-free America is possible. Together we can solve hunger.
Thank you for investing in Feeding America and our mission.

FEEDTHENATION
To build the foundation of a brighter tomorrow, Feeding
America provides nutritious meals to help feed families
today. In 2014, the Feeding America network of food
banks helped provide 3.3 billion meals to 46 million
people, bringing us closer to achieving our goal to provide
3.6 billion meals to families facing hunger annually by
2018. We work every day to exceed this goal, so that one
day, every American has the food they need to live
a healthy and active life.
2014 ANNUAL REPORT | 5
RETAIL DONATIONS
Food and product donations from our generous
retail partners continue to make up the largest
source of meals we help provide. As sustainability
efforts within the grocery industry focus on
waste reduction, retailers continue to look for
opportunities to donate useable product rather
than allow it to go unused.
Perishable foods like low-fat dairy, lean meats and
fresh produce provide good wholesome choices
to people in need. To provide more of these foods,
food banks work with retail partners to enhance
their donation models to collect, store and distribute
perishables safely and quickly.
FY 2013 FY 2014
Based on U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines, a meal is equal to 1.2 pounds of food and grocery product.
PARTNERING TO RESCUE FOOD, REDUCE WASTE AND FEED MORE PEOPLE
MORE THAN 70 BILLION POUNDS OF FOOD GOES TO WASTE IN THE U.S. EVERY YEAR70B
FEEDING AMERICA IS GRATEFUL TO WALMART, OUR NETWORK’S LARGEST RETAIL PARTNER. TOGETHER WE HAVE BUILT A HIGHLY EFFICIENT PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES MILLIONS OF MEALS TO FAMILIES FACING HUNGER.
For 35 years, Feeding America has provided a means
for good, safe excess food to be shared with families
who do not have enough to eat. As a member of the
Food Waste Reduction Alliance and critical partner
to the food industry, the Feeding America network
of food banks rescued a record 2.5 billion pounds
of food from going to waste this year, benefiting the
planet, our partners and the communities we serve.
Over 40 percent of all food produced is never
consumed, not only wasting the nutrients in that
food but also the resources invested in its growth
and production. Together, we can continue to reduce
waste to provide more meals for more people.

The Feeding America network of food banks relies on five primary sources to create
a steady supply of food for the people we serve: retail donations, manufacturing donations,
federal commodities, fresh produce and purchased food.
2014 ANNUAL REPORT | 6
MANUFACTURING DONATIONS
Manufacturers continue to become more efficient,
thereby reducing waste—and the amount of food
available for donation. Yet in 2014, Feeding America
increased the amount of food secured from
manufacturers by working with partners to uncover
new sources for donations. This demonstrates a
high commitment across the industry to help feed
people, while keeping good, safe food out of landfills.
FEDERAL COMMODITIES
Feeding America is the largest USDA distribution
partner for the nation’s federal Emergency Food
Assistance Program (TEFAP) and the Commodity
Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). The Feeding
America nationwide network of food banks distributes
85 percent of all TEFAP and 40 percent of all CSFP
commodities through food pantries and meal
programs to eligible people in need.
FRESH PRODUCE
Fresh fruits and vegetables are an essential
component to every diet. This year, the Feeding
America network hit a milestone by sourcing more
than 1 billion pounds of fresh produce across all
food streams. Opportunity for growth remains, as
billions of pounds of fruits and vegetables go to
waste each year.
Due to the perishable nature of fresh produce,
Feeding America food banks continue to develop
methods to quickly acquire and distribute produce
to people in need. This year, Feeding America took
steps to improve this process with the launch of
a new web-based produce donation portal and
development of Produce Matchmaker, a tool to
more effectively aggregate and connect supply
with demand via a new real-time ordering platform.
Feeding America also focused on the continued
development of regional sourcing models that
connected food banks with over 86 million pounds
of fresh produce, a 121 percent increase compared
to last year.
PURCHASED FOOD
As a network, we leverage collective purchasing
power to lower costs for items like individually
packaged foods that meet specific child or senior
program requirements and high demand foods
such as peanut butter and canned fruit. These
foods fill important gaps in supply to help provide
more balanced meals.
Purchasing is our most expensive food source
and the last option when sourcing food. This year,
Feeding America is proud to have reduced the
amount of food purchased while increasing meals
provided through the network overall.

THANK YOU TO PARTNERS WHO INVEST IN OUR FEED STRATEGY
Special investments in the Feeding America Feed strategy were made by many generous partners, including: Cargill, Caterpillar Foundation, Costco Wholesale Corporation, General Mills Foundation, Kraft Foods Group Foundation, Nationwide Foundation, Walmart Foundation and The Walt Disney Company. Special thanks to our many generous product partners, recognized in full beginning on page 43.
2014 ANNUAL REPORT | 7
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
(SNAP) is the federal government’s first line of
defense against food insecurity in the United States,
providing an essential safety-net for the millions of
people currently enrolled. Yet, more than 20 percent
of people who are eligible for SNAP do not participate.
Feeding America food banks conduct SNAP
outreach and enrollment assistance to help
eligible people access the food they need to
feed their families. Because of our deep reach
into communities across the country and access
to 46 million low-income people, Feeding America
is uniquely positioned to help families enroll in
this vital program.
In 2013, Feeding America launched the Online
SNAP Client Referral Pilot Program with the goal
of generating 25 referrals per month in two markets.
Because of the need for food assistance, that goal
was surpassed within the very first day. In 2014,
the program expanded to include 24 food banks.
Projected 2014 results include 20,511 online SNAP
referrals and 5,482 SNAP applications completed,
a 26.7 percent referral to application conversion—
more than double the application conversion
rate achieved in the pilot program. This dramatic
increase means more families receive more meals.
TARGETED ON-THE-GROUND INVESTMENTS
SNAP OUTREACH PROVIDES ADDITIONAL MEALS
Through the generous support of partners like
you, Feeding America distributed $27 million this
year to local food banks to help them bolster
programs and provide more food to more people.
More than one third of granted funds were
unrestricted—essential dollars that enable
our network to invest resources where they

BACKPACK
REACHING CHILDREN
AND THEIR FAMILIES
OVER WEEKENDS
The BackPack Program provides children and their
families with critical help over the weekends, when
children do not have access to free or reduced-
priced school meals. The BackPack program fills
the meal gap during these two days and ensures
children have the food they need to start school
healthy and alert on Monday. Over the last five
years, the program has grown 100 percent—from
a program that distributed 20 million meals to
one that provides an incredible 41 million meals
to children and their families each year.
KIDS CAFE AND
AFTERSCHOOL SNACK
REACHING CHILDREN
AFTER SCHOOL
Our most mature child hunger intervention, the
Kids Cafe and Afterschool Snack Program provides
free meals and snacks to low-income children
through a variety of existing community locations,
such as Boys and Girls Clubs, churches or public
schools. While many kids receive free meals at
school, Kids Cafe provides free meals and snacks
to low-income children after school, ensuring they
receive an evening meal. In 2013, our network served
14.6 million meals to children through Kids Cafes.
SCHOOL PANTRY
REACHING CHILDREN
AND THEIR FAMILIES
AT HOME
Our newest and most rapidly expanding child
hunger program, the School Pantry program
provides easy access to nutritious groceries when
parents or relatives drop off or pick up their children
from school. This is a convenient and cost-effective
intervention and an important way to reach families
who might not be aware of their local food pantry.
More than 21 million meals were provided to children
and their families through permanent and mobile
school pantries in 2013.*
SUMMER FOOD
REACHING CHILDREN
DURING THE SUMMER
During the summer, families struggle to provide
the meals that children would have received as free
or reduced-price meals during the school year. The
Feeding America network administers or sponsors
more than 3,000 meal sites as part of the USDA’s
Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), which
provides low-income children with free, nutritious
meals when school is out. In addition to SFSP, many
food banks operate other summer food program
models to make sure children have access to the
food they need to stay healthy over the summer.
The Feeding America network of food banks
feeds more children than any other charitable
organization. In 2014, we helped provide more
than 1 billion meals to 12 million children.
To ensure that network programs make real and
lasting progress toward ending childhood hunger
in America, Feeding America undertook a year-long
project to evaluate and optimize our Child Hunger
Strategy. Through this process, we learned that to
solve child hunger we must focus on bolstering
interventions that provide food for the whole family.
The strategy also prioritizes enhancing programs
to reach children outside of school, when they
are often most vulnerable to hunger. Programs
designed to feed children during this time, such
as the BackPack, Kids Cafe®, School Pantry and
Summer Food programs, have increased distribution
of food by 114 percent over the last five years.

THANK YOU TO PARTNERS WHO SUPPORT CHILD HUNGER
Special investments in child hunger were made by many generous partners, including: ConAgra Foods Foundation, The Dunkin’ Donuts & Baskin-Robbins Community Foundation, Morgan Stanley, Procter & Gamble and PwC Charitable Foundation, Inc.
CHILD HUNGER CORPS
A primary obstacle to serving more meals to more
children is lack of staff to expand existing programs
or execute new ones. To overcome this barrier,
Feeding America implemented the Child Hunger
Corps program in 2010. Feeding America deploys
Corps members to food banks for two years. During
the service term, Corps members work closely with
host food banks and community partners to expand
programs that provide more nutritious meals to
children in their community.
After more than 30 placements and measurable
improvements in meals provided to children, Feeding
America looks forward to next iteration of the Child
Hunger Corps Program to begin in August 2015.
INCREASE IN MEALS DISTRIBUTED THROUGH CHILD HUNGER PROGRAMS OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS114%
MORE THAN A THIRD OF CHILD HUNGER CORPS ALUMNI HAVE CONTINUED WORKING IN THE FEEDING AMERICA NETWORK AFTER COMPLETING THE TWO-YEAR PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM NOT ONLY IMPROVES ACCESS TO FOOD FOR CHILDREN, BUT ALSO SHAPES THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS IN HUNGER-RELIEF.
“ My term as a Child Hunger Corps
member was simply amazing. Feeding
America equipped my cohort with the tools
necessary to make an indelible impact at
our host food banks. The lessons I learned
from the experience have definitely carried
over in to my current role”
Reginald Young | Creative Partnerships
Manager at Houston Food Bank, Texas
The groundbreaking Child Hunger Corps
program was made possible by the strategic
expertise and support of the ConAgra Foods
Foundation. This year, the foundation renewed
their commitment to solving hunger by investing
to help families access the food they need for
their children to grow healthy and strong.

EXPANDING ACCESS TO FOOD FOR SENIORS
Today, more seniors than ever before depend
on Feeding America for assistance. The Feeding
America network of food banks provides food
to 7 million seniors aged 60 and older. In addition
to meals provided through traditional food pantries
and meal programs, targeted programs such as
the Senior Grocery Program and federal CSFP food
distributions provided 124 million meals to seniors
in need in 2013.
The Feeding America network is equipped to help
food-insecure seniors cope with the difficult choices
they may face between paying for medical care,
housing or food. Feeding America celebrated Older
Americans Month in May with a public engagement
campaign to raise awareness about the issues of
senior hunger. This year, the message was simple:
We’re speaking out together to “Solve Senior Hunger.”
When disaster strikes, the Feeding America network
is on the ground in every community in every corner
of our nation—ready to provide food and emergency
supplies. Within hours, Feeding America food banks
are able to deploy trucks and logistical solutions to
deliver food, water and supplies to people in
devastated communities.
This year, food banks were able to address the
majority of disaster needs through existing food
bank inventories and local product sourcing.
Feeding America provided targeted aid in response
to seven local and national disasters, from landslides
in Oregon to tornadoes in communities across the
Midwest, to fill product gaps that food banks were
unable to source locally.
DISASTER RELIEF, RECOVERY AND PREPAREDNESS
THANK YOU TO PARTNERS WHO PROVIDE DISASTER RELIEF
Feeding America deeply appreciates the support of all disaster relief partners, including Abbott employees for annually packing valuable disaster-relief boxes for food banks in hurricane-prone areas, Allstate Insurance Company and The Allstate Foundation for continued critical general operating support of our disaster-relief program and targeted disaster-preparedness initiatives, Kellogg Company for consistently reaching out to provide donations of snacks and cereals in the wake of disasters large and small, and the Margaret A. Cargill Foundation for their commitment to strengthening the capacity of the Feeding America network in disaster preparedness, response and community re-stabilization.

helped my family find a place to finally call home and
gave us food to fill our cupboards.”
Epiphaney and Humberto with their children | Washington, D.C.
COLLABORATING TO EXPAND CAPACITY
Capacity limitations are a primary obstacle to
providing more food to Americans in need. We
continue to strengthen food banks, food pantries
and meal programs to ensure each facility can safely
store and efficiently distribute larger volumes of
food and grocery items. Feeding America builds
capacity in a myriad of effective ways, from facilitating
annual learning conferences to staffing a national
team of compliance and capability officers that
work full-time with food banks to ensure the
highest quality standards are met.
This year, Feeding America focused on expanding
a robust new model to build network capacity: the
Capacity Institute. Through this model, small groups
of food bank employees from across the country
connect online and in person over the course of
one year to focus on improving a specific program.
Representatives from 17 food banks participated
in the Child Grocery Capacity Institute, which was
designed to offer support to members in improving
access to BackPack or School Pantry programs. The
inaugural SNAP Capacity Institute was comprised
of 20 food banks and was created to promote
and support SNAP programming by providing
infrastructure to collaborate on outreach goals
and strategies, identify best practices and share
learnings throughout the project.
THANK YOU TO PARTNERS WHO BUILD OUR CAPACITY
Special investments in capacity building were made by many generous partners. Capacity Institute investments were made in partnership with C&S Wholesale Grocers and the Ford Foundation.
2014 ANNUAL REPORT | 12
As Feeding America expands efforts to provide
nutritious food to people facing hunger, mobile
pantries offer a versatile and strategic way to
provide fresh, refrigerated and frozen food to
communities where people live and work. The key
advantage of mobile pantries is that they promote
increased distribution of food in neighborhoods that
may not have adequate grocery stores or food
assistance resources.
Mobile pantries can also be the catalyst for new
community services and play a critical role in
disaster relief. Mobile pantries allow food banks
to distribute food and grocery products to
numerous sites on short notice and enable the
Feeding America network to be first responders
in times of disaster.
More than 46 million people depend on the Feeding
America network to help meet their basic nutritional
needs. We are committed to ensuring that the food
we distribute is handled safely. Stringent food safety
practices are vital not only for the health and safety
of the people we serve, but also to achieve our goal
to feed more people. A rigorous food safety program
enables Feeding America to obtain more food by
demonstrating to product partners that food is
thoroughly inspected and monitored every step
of the way—from the truck to the food bank to the
food pantry or meal program and the person in need.
This year, Feeding America completed our ServSafe
Food Handler Guide for Food Banking, a project in
conjunction with the National Restaurant
Association. We also held two Food Safety
Summits, conducted Food Defense Certification
for 20 key network staff members and distributed
14 food safety capacity building grants to network
members. Additionally, our third party food safety
auditor conducted more than 100 food safety audits
across the network to ensure the 3.3 billion meals
that we provide each year are wholesome and safe.

A multifaceted infrastructure is instrumental to
the distribution of billions of pounds of assorted
foods through a nationwide network to reach
millions of individuals and families. The Feeding
America network leverages technology to optimize
the supply chain and reduce the cost of capturing
and providing food.
Feeding America offers member food banks
technology solutions that range from a fully
hosted system to specialized programs for product
tracking and ordering, route planning, accounting
and customer relationship management. More than
75 percent of food banks are supported through
the program. As we expand solutions like this one,
Feeding America will continue to increase efficiency
and provide more food to more people.
THANK YOU TO PARTNERS WHO SUPPORT TECHNOLOGY
Special investments in technology were made by many generous partners, including Cisco and SAP.

HIGHLIGHTS OF AN EXTRAORDINARY YEAR
2014 ANNUAL REPORT | 16
MAP THE MEAL GAP 2014 Map the Meal Gap, an annual Feeding
America study that began in 2011,
provides food insecurity rates for every
state, county and congressional district
in the country. The 2014 study revealed that the annual
meal gap—the number of meals that are missing from
families’ tables each year—is 8.6 billion meals.
With a front page article in USA Today and other
coverage from Washington Post, “NBC Nightly
News,” MSNBC and “The View,” Map the Meal Gap
2014 garnered more than 700 million media
impressions within the first month of the study
release; more coverage than every other iteration
of the study combined.
The 2014 study affirms that hunger is everywhere—
it exists in every county in the country, including the
wealthiest. In only a few short years, Map the Meal
Gap has become an integral part of the way people
think about food insecurity in the United States.
Government, academic and partner organizations
use the information to inform programs, policies
and research.
SPOTLIGHT ON SENIOR HEALTHIn partnership with the National Foundation to
End Senior Hunger (NFESH), Feeding America
took an in-depth look at the intersection between
food insecurity and associated health and nutrition
outcomes among seniors. Hunger affects people of
all ages, but findings reveal that people age 60 and
older are particularly vulnerable to the negative
health implications of food insecurity.
Compared to their food-secure peers,
food-insecure seniors are 60 percent more likely
to experience depression, 53 percent more likely
to report a heart attack and 52 percent more likely
to develop asthma. The study demonstrates that
senior food insecurity is a critical public health
issue and deserves marked attention from
food providers, healthcare professionals and
policy makers.
UNDERSTANDING HUNGER THROUGH GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH
Addressing the problem of hunger requires a thorough understanding of the problem itself. Through research,
we assess the prevalence and consequences of food insecurity, as well as the role of the charitable food assistance
network in serving individuals and families in need. We also assess our approach to hunger relief through
program evaluation so that our efforts are built on proven, effective methods. Feeding America published five
studies this year, as well as our first peer-reviewed journal article based on the Map the Meal Gap research.

Special investments and thought leadership in research initiatives were made by many generous partners, including: ConAgra Foods Foundation, The Howard G. Buffett Foundation and Nielsen.
Feeding America is grateful to transformational investor The Howard G. Buffett Foundation. Together, we have conducted landmark research Hunger in America 2014 and the Map the Meal Gap series, which have become integral to the development of solutions to hunger in our country.

HUNGER IN AMERICA 2014 This year, Feeding America prepared
to release Hunger in America 2014,
our sixth study of the Feeding America
network and the more than 46 million
people we serve. The quadrennial study is the
largest of its kind and provides comprehensive
demographic profiles of the children, seniors,
veterans, students and families that seek food
assistance from the charitable sector.
For the first time, Feeding America asked clients
about their health and military service, among other
new questions, to gain additional insight into how
we can better meet the needs of the people we
serve. Today, we know more than ever before about
how our neighbors in need cope with hunger,
frequency and duration of employment, housing
situations, the health of household members and
whether an adult household member was in school
or served in the military.
Hunger in America goes beyond statistics and
data—it helps us understand how and why people
use private, nonprofit organizations and government
programs for hunger relief, informs our strategy and
operational decisions, and informs policy decisions
at the federal and state level.
EVALUATING OUTCOMES AND IMPACT
Evaluation is an important systematic process
that Feeding America uses to better understand
and demonstrate how food-insecure families
and communities benefit from national member
programs. Feeding America engages in continual
program improvement by examining the efficiency
and effectiveness of programs. This year, Feeding
America completed program evaluations for both
the Kids Cafe and BackPack programs to ensure
that these programs continue to provide nutritious
food to children and families in need.
UPCOMING EVALUATION AND RESEARCH
In 2015, priorities for program evaluation include
sharing key findings and insights from a multi-site
evaluation of SNAP outreach programs and
supporting the execution of the refreshed Child

ADVOCATING FOR A HUNGER-FREE AMERICAFeeding America’s primary legislative goal in 2014
was passage of a Farm Bill that strengthened
TEFAP and protected SNAP. Amidst significant
political pressure to reduce federal spending, we
achieved a major win for low-income families with
a Farm Bill that avoided deep cuts and harmful
policy changes to SNAP and increased TEFAP
funding by $205 million over 10 years.
Our advocacy strategy focused on educating
elected officials and their staff through briefings,
testimony, site visits and meetings; mobilizing the
Feeding America network and on-the-ground
advocates; building and leveraging national
and local partnerships; and utilizing national,
local and social media to show the impact that
Farm Bill changes could have had on food banks
and the people they serve.
Feeding America also worked in partnership
with a broad cross-sector coalition to expand
and make permanent the food-donation tax
deduction for farmers and businesses of all sizes.
Our goal is to enable more food to move through
the Feeding America network to people in need.

INVEST AN ACRE FOR RURAL AMERICANS
EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
Research conducted in the spring of 2014 found
that one in four farmers “care about hunger
passionately.” At Feeding America, we believe it is
critical to develop strong relationships in the
agriculture industry not only to secure good food,
but also to raise awareness of the prevalence of
hunger in farming and rural communities.
In partnership with Archer Daniels Midland
Company, Cargill, The Howard G. Buffett Foundation
and Monsanto, Feeding America has incubated
Invest An Acre, a rural hunger-relief advocacy and
fundraising platform. Through Invest An Acre,
farmers can easily donate a portion of their crop
proceeds to fight hunger in the communities where
they work and live.
Invest An Acre continues to be a highly successful
venture as new partners join us in empowering
farmers to help solve rural hunger. Since its inception,
the program has raised $1.75 million to provide meals
for families fighting hunger in rural America.
Feeding America is the strategic choice partner
for the growing number of businesses leaders who
are passionate about engaging employees in solving
hunger. Through our holistic approach, Feeding
America offers year-round opportunities to help
companies inspire their employees to provide
more food to more people in need.
This year, Feeding America implemented promising
skills-based volunteerism programs. Hillshire Brands
invited Taproot Foundation to design a pro bono
program that would allow Hillshire Brands
employees to use their skills to help Feeding
America and member food banks strengthen their
organizations. Employee volunteers worked closely
with food bank staff on supply chain consulting,
safety assessments and creation of a financial
modeling tool.
SKILLS-BASED VOLUNTEERISM PROVIDES IMMEASURABLE VALUE AND COST SAVINGS ACROSS THE FEEDING AMERICA.
THANK YOU TO PARTNERS WHO ENGAGE EMPLOYEES
Special contributions of time and resources to these programs were made by generous partners including Allstate Insurance Company, which celebrated its third annual Week of Service with nearly 5,000 employee volunteers at 40 food banks across the country. Ameriprise Financial marked its fourth annual National Day of Service when 10,000 employees, clients and advisors participated in 402 volunteer events in all 50 states. PepsiCo Feeds America marked its fourth annual national day of volunteerism when 2,000 employees volunteered at more than 40 food bank sites and PepsiCo donated product and funds. Through employee giving campaigns, such as the Walmart Employee Giving Campaign and The WellPoint Associate Giving Campaign, employee contributions to Feeding America were matched by the employer, which enabled employees to make a greater impact when supporting Feeding America. Corporations and foundations that generously supported Feeding America with matching gift programs are recognized on page 46.

COMMUNITY HEALTH AND NUTRITION
Food insecurity is a major public health problem.
People who face hunger are more likely to report
poorer health and depressive symptoms, and have
higher risks for chronic diseases like obesity,
hypertension and diabetes. Particularly among
children, food insecurity increases risk for iron-
deficiency anemia, chronic illness, hospitalization
and developmental and mental health challenges.
While the relationship between hunger, nutrition and
health is complex, we know that many low-income
individuals struggle with all three. Feeding America
actively aligns with the public health sector’s efforts
to address diet-sensitive diseases, while fostering
expertise, partnerships, capacity-building and
evidence-based strategies to provide more
nutritious meals to more people.
This year, Feeding America was featured at nearly a
dozen national, regional, state and local conferences
focused on food insecurity, nutrition and health.
We additionally hosted a public hunger and health
virtual town hall and two related briefings with the
United States House and Senate.
Feeding America invests in network capacity
to increase distribution of healthy and nutritious
foods, enhance proven nutrition education
strategies and provide technical assistance to
collaborative public healthcare partnerships. Nearly
80 percent of Feeding America food banks provide
nutrition education programs and 18 percent have
a registered dietitian on staff. Some food bank
staff also work closely with health clinics to help
healthcare professionals identify patients who
are food insecure and refer them to the food
bank for support.
Feeding America piloted Together on Diabetes to
provide diabetes-specific food boxes, education
and support to help 1,500 people manage their
type 2 diabetes. Results from the three-year pilot
project demonstrated that clients were interested
in learning how to better manage their disease and
trying new and healthier foods. After six months in
the program, clients had better blood sugar control,
were better able to cope with their diabetes and
were more likely to take their medications as
prescribed by their doctor.
TOGETHER WE CAN SOLVE HUNGER™
At Feeding America it is our mission to truly end hunger. Today, we reach more people than ever before and
provide more food to more people than any other charitable organization. And yet, the rates of hunger hold
steady at the highest rates ever recorded.
We envision a nation where everyone has access to the food they need, in part because their need for food
assistance has decreased. To solve hunger we are working beyond emergency food assistance to address
the root causes of food insecurity by helping people achieve stability in key areas of their lives. Together
we can solve hunger and help keep our communities healthy and strong.
THANK YOU TO PARTNERS WHO INVEST IN COMMUNITY HEALTH AND NUTRITION
Special contributions of thought leadership and funds to community health and nutrition were made by many generous partners, including: Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, American Heart Association, Bristol-Meyers Squibb, National Dairy Council® and USDA MyPlate Partnership.

COLLABORATING FOR CLIENTS
To truly achieve our mission, Feeding America
has launched Collaborating for Clients—an initiative
designed to leverage our immense food distribution
infrastructure and expertise to build multi-sector
partnerships that will end hunger by helping the
people we serve achieve stability.
Hunger does not exist in isolation—people who
struggle with food insecurity often struggle to
meet other basic needs like health, housing and
employment. By partnering with organizations
that work across these four focus areas, we aim to
address the priority needs of the people we serve
and help them build a pathway out of poverty and
into stability.
Given the Feeding America network’s reach
into low-income communities and the scale
of our nationwide system, we are uniquely
positioned to galvanize government, business,
research, advocacy and charitable partners to
join us in more comprehensively addressing
the root causes of hunger.
This year, Feeding America elevated the
conversation by participating in the Clinton
Global Initiative CGI America 2014, engaged
potential national partners, including Goodwill
Industries International, and began building
national and local network capacity to engage
in this type of work. In the year ahead, Feeding
America will focus on developing a population level
outcomes framework, establishing a theory of action
for local collective impact, continuing to build food
bank capacity and determining a governance
structure for the collaborative initiative.
We cannot fight food insecurity on our own, or
with food alone. Through collective impact and
collaborative work with people and partners like
you, we can truly solve hunger.

INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY FOUNDATION PARTNERS
WHY I SUPPORT FEEDING AMERICAI believe there is nothing more powerful than a family gathering around the table to talk, laugh and share a meal. When families come together around food, they not only nourish their bodies, but also enrich their minds and spirits. I believe that every family deserves that opportunity.
When people do not have the food they need, they lack the foundation to build a life. Hunger is more than a physical need. It affects the way a family relates and can cause tremendous stress for parents trying to give their children what they need to learn, grow and thrive.
I built my business around the vision that someday families all around the world will know the joy and rewards of gathering together in the tradition of family mealtimes. Professionally, this has been my drive. Personally, I am committed to working with Feeding America to make this vision a reality for struggling families.
I have been involved with Feeding America and my local food bank for more than 20 years. I am so proud of the work we have done together.

A FATHER OF THREE, DEREK WORKS NIGHTS SO HE CAN BE THERE FOR HIS KIDS DURING THE DAY. EVEN THOUGH HE WORKS FULL TIME AND IS DOING WELL, BETWEEN PAYING FOR CLOTHES, INSURANCE AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES, HE REGULARLY COMES UP SHORT.
“When I first started raising my children, there were
a lot of times when I wondered where I would get the
food to feed them. Sometimes I’d only eat once a day
so I could make sure they had three meals. The pantry
gives me healthy food to feed my kids. Since I found
the food pantry, I’ve never had to worry about my
children going hungry.”

DAVID HAD A GREAT JOB THAT ENABLED STEPHANIE TO STAY HOME TO CARE FOR THEIR CHILDREN. THREE YEARS AGO, DAVID WAS LAID OFF AND BOTH HAVE HAD A HARD TIME FINDING STEADY, STABLE WORK SINCE.
“We first found out about the food pantry
while I was volunteering at my children’s school.
I had never ever heard of a food pantry before—
nevertheless been to one. We began volunteering
at the pantry and also taking food home to feed
our children. We get fresh fruits and vegetables
that would be hard to afford otherwise, and are
critical to giving my children the energy they
need to continue to do positive things like play
sports and succeed in school.
I know that soon our family will be out of this
tough time, but I will always be grateful that the
food pantry provided us with extra help when
we needed it most.”

FATHER TO THREE YEAR OLD ALEX, DAVID VISITS FOOD PANTRIES ON AND OFF TO HELP SUPPLEMENT THE FOOD HE PROVIDES FOR HIMSELF AND HIS SON.
“The food pantries are a tremendous help. If I didn’t have
places like these to help me—to give me food—I honestly
don’t know where I would be. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able
to take care of my son, to feed him.
I am so grateful I don’t have to worry about that though.
I’m grateful that food pantries exist to help me ensure my
son has enough to eat. My son is all I have. As long as he
has everything he needs, I’ll be fine too. ”
