DEAR FRIENDS,
In Ohio, more and more people are worrying about how they’ll feed their families. In fact, 1 in 6 people in Ohio don’t always know where their next meal will come from, and 1 in 4 are children. Sadly, hunger is more than just missing a meal. It can be a feeling of hopelessness, and can lead to nutrition and nourishment taking a back seat to just getting by. When a hunger crisis hits, we respond by reaching out to one another, making sure our neighbors aren’t suffering. It’s why we do what we do at the Akron–Canton Regional Foodbank.
Our community is worth it. Delivering massive amounts of food to hundreds of different agencies across the region; donating and collecting millions of pounds of fresh produce; saving that same produce from being turned over in the field—it’s all worth it. As for our recent award—the Feeding America 2012 Member of the Year—it belongs to the community, to our invaluable volunteers, incredible staff, tireless Board and to every agency that believes their community is worth the very best.
TOGETHER, WE’RE NOURISHING HOPE IN OHIO.
Daniel R. Flowers George SarkisPresident & CEO Chairman, Board of Directors

THE STRONGEST LEADERSHIP IS BUILT ON TRUST
4
It’s people like George Sarkis, our Board Chairman, who believe their community is worth the hard work and dedication that make the Foodbank the success that it is.
IT DIDN’T TAKE US LONG TO FIGURE OUT THAT, IN ORDER TO DELIVER AS MUCH FOOD AS POSSIBLE TO OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED, WE’D NEED TO PUT OURSELVES IN A POSITION OF LEADERSHIP. So when
the Foodbank received the Feeding America 2012 Member of the Year
Award, we didn’t applaud ourselves. We did, however, feel pretty good.
We felt good because we knew how many lives had been changed after
being lifted out of hunger. We felt energized, knowing this was the time
to enhance our role in the community, having been recognized as the
most efficient and innovative food bank in America. And we felt a sense
of responsibility knowing this was an opportunity to do it again and
again, until the burden of hunger no longer holds Ohio back from reaching
its full potential. For our staff, volunteers, board of directors and donors,
the best award isn’t a trophy. It’s realizing we’re one of the best and most
trusted when it comes to doing what’s right for our community.

FRESH PRODUCE NOURISHES MORE THAN JUST HOPE
Terry Gram of Arrowhead Orchard is one of many local partners in the Ohio Agricultural Clearance Program, which provided the Foodbank with more than 4.5 million pounds of fresh produce in 2012.
6
ONE OF THE MANY SAD TRUTHS ABOUT HUNGER is that when it
becomes a reality for someone, fresh fruits and vegetables are often
overlooked, usually because price and quantity take priority over quality
and proper nutrition. The goal of the Foodbank isn’t only to end hunger,
but also to properly nourish those in need. This means fresh produce
is critical. In 2012, we set the daring goal of supplying at least 5 million
pounds of fresh produce to agencies across the region—but we surpassed
that goal by a whopping 28 percent, ultimately delivering 6.4 million
pounds. Clearly we’re delivering a very healthy portion of fresh produce
to our hungry neighbors. We’re nourishing more than just hope in Ohio.
We’re nourishing health, too.
6.4MILLIONpounds of fresh produce were distributed in 2012.
7
OUR NETWORK EXISTS BECAUSE OF VOLUNTEERS
8
Once the storm of hunger passes, people often want to give back. If they can’t give back with donations, they give their time, which is equally valuable, and is a vital part of what makes the Foodbank possible. What goes around comes around.
YEAR AFTER YEAR, THE SUCCESS STORY IS SO OFTEN THE SAME. A client finds themself in a hunger situation, then is lifted out of hunger
and lands on their feet because of donated food. Then, whether
it’s to balance their karma or just to lend a helping hand, they give
back and pay it forward. Many frequently donate their time to the very
agency that helped them in their time of need. These volunteers are the
people who make it happen. The Foodbank is carried, supported and
elevated in large part because of the heartfelt dedication of volunteers.
Amazingly, of the 500+ programs currently fighting hunger in our area,
the vast majority operate on donated time. In fact, the Foodbank alone
would require 17 full time employees to match the jaw-dropping total
of 36,000 hours donated by our volunteers in 2012. Nothing nourishes
hope in the heart of someone facing hunger more than an act of
kindness from a complete stranger.

FOOD BELONGS ON THE TABLE NOT IN A LANDFILL
10
Each year a typical household throws away an estimated 474 pounds of food. In Ohio, that’s enough to cover an entire football field stacked as high as the Empire State Building. Our goal is to re-route that food to make sure it ends up doing what it was intended to do: be eaten.
#
FOOD IS PRECIOUS, BUT IT ISN’T ALWAYS TREATED AS SUCH. Every day, massive amounts of good, usable food are simply thrown out.
We’re ensuring this tragic waste is kept to an absolute minimum. In our
unyielding effort to end hunger in our community, we can’t rely on food
drives alone. We often work behind the scenes, collecting food in ways
many may not have considered. For example, food manufacturers and
retailers often end up with more food than they can possibly sell. Instead
of disposing of this good food, they donate it to the Foodbank. Our
timely and efficient system of pickups and deliveries was recognized
by Feeding America as a model for moving food from the threat of the
landfill to the nourishment of the dinner table.
