MESSAGE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

“WhyHunger�has�always�believed�that�

partnerships�are�at�the�root�of�solutions�that�will end hunger and

poverty in�our�world.” — Bill Ayres

Dear Friends,As we look back on 2011, we are reminded about the challenges faced by so many families in the US and abroad during this recession. We listened to the individual stories of thousands of National Hunger Hotline (1-866-3-HUNGRY) callers, struggling after losing their jobs, their homes and their pensions, who we were able to connect to emergency food and government nutrition programs. And we celebrate the successes of communities who are reshaping their local food system and improving access to healthy food for all. From the very beginning, WhyHunger has always believed that partnerships are at the root of solutions that will end hunger and poverty in our world. Once again, we are reminded that it is through partnership with folks like you that we are able to make a difference and continue to build the movement to end hunger and poverty.WhyHunger is a grassroots support organization that works with more than 8,500 community based organizations all across the country and dozens more around the world. These grassroots organizations are developing some of the most innovative approaches to addressing food insecurity in their own communities. They are working to build local economies, connect people to healthy and affordable food, develop new leaders, cultivate self-reliance and transform the very systems that keep so many of their neighbors disenfranchised. We have traveled the country for dozens of years and have built relationships with thousands of these community leaders, supporting them in building organizations, developing impactful programs and policies and joining the movement to end hunger and poverty.This past year alone we’ve partnered with close to a hundred community-based organizations, helping them to tell their stories, learn from one another, develop networks, change policies, promote opportunities for people to grow and market their own food and form new local coalitions that work together to improve the quantity and quality of food throughout their community. We work with them to get stronger, reach more people and acquire more resources.In 2011, we helped form the Delta Fresh Foods Initiative which has increased the number of church gardens to some two hundred in just a few years, started a farm to school program and supported local farmers as they transition to sustainable agriculture in the Mississippi Delta. We have worked with the Tohono O’odham Community Action organization (TOCA) in Sells, Arizona where the epidemic of diabetes

per capita is the worst in the world. Farmers there are successfully growing native crops for the first time in fifty years in desert conditions and changing the diets of the tribe, especially the children. We are also working in a migrant community in California to empower the school food directors to introduce fresh fruits and vegetables which are bountiful in the region into the schools.In our fourth year of the “Imagine There’s No Hunger” global campaign, WhyHunger, Hard Rock International, Yoko Ono Lennon and thousands of supporters have helped communities grow enough food to provide 5.5 million meals for children in need from 15 countries around the world. And to ensure a future without hunger, we support sustainable agriculture training programs for children and their families at 26 grassroots organizations across the globe.We are promoting food sovereignty, the right for all people to determine the kind of food they grow and eat, and will be a host this October in New York for the fourth annual Food Sovereignty Prize awarded to grassroots organizations from around the world that are practicing and promoting food sovereignty in their communities and regions.Bruce Springsteen is back on the road and supporting grassroots organizations in every city in the country as part of our Artists Against Hunger and Poverty program. Over the years Bruce has raised more than ten million dollars for our grassroots partner organizations. He started off the tour with a dynamic concert at the Apollo Theater which was a benefit for WhyHunger through a donation from our partners at Sirius XM.This has been a good year for WhyHunger. We have helped more hungry people than ever to access good food in their communities and we continue to partner with some of the hardest working most innovative people and organizations in America and around the world. We thank our major funding partners and all of you who have supported our work, and we look forward to an even brighter future with justice for all.

WhyHunger is a leader in building the movement to end hunger and poverty by connecting people to nutritious, affordable food and by supporting grassroots solutions that inspire self-reliance and community empowerment.

OUR MISSION

Founded in 1975 by the late musician Harry Chapin and current Executive Director Bill Ayres, WhyHunger is a grassroots support organization that works with more than 8,000 community-based groups across the country and around the world to fight hunger and poverty. What began as a simple commitment between two friends to make a difference has grown into an award-winning global non-profit, leading the movement to end hunger and poverty and creating a just and sustainable food system. From humble beginnings, WhyHunger remains committed to the belief that everyone deserves access to nutritious, affordable food and that together we can truly make a difference.

WhyHunger brings its unique assets and history to building a broad-based social movement to end hunger. Our set of core values rests on the understanding that solutions and innovation are often found in the grassroots. WhyHunger’s programs work to support these community-based organizations as they grow and develop, and bring new ideas and practices to creating a just food system that provides universal access to nutritious and affordable food.

WhyHunger provides capacity building services, technical support and access to information and financial resources to community organizations implementing new ideas and developing groundbreaking projects to transform their communities. We build networks of grassroots organizations that share a vision of healthy, sustainable and self-reliant communities leading to greater mobilization and stronger advocacy to end poverty and hunger.

ABOUT WhyHungerRecord-Breaking Year:WhyHunger’s�biggest�public�outreach�and�fundraising�campaign,�Hungerthon,�engages�listeners�through�more�than�a�dozen�radio�stations�including�all�the�CBS Radio stations�in�NYC�and�Sirius XM Satellite Radio.

The Global Movements program works through international and U.S. civil society networks to link WhyHunger’s domestic work on hunger and poverty to global movements for food sovereignty and the basic rights to food, land, water and sustainable livelihoods for all people.

The National Hunger Clearinghouse collects, develops and distributes information and resources to help build the capacity of emergency food providers to address the immediate needs of struggling families and individuals while promoting self-reliance and access to healthy food. The Clearinghouse includes the National Hunger Hotline, (1-866-3 HUNGRY or 1-866-348-6479), which refers people in need anywhere in the U.S. to food pantries, soup kitchens, government programs and model grassroots organizations.

The Grassroots Action Network provides capacity building services, mentoring, training opportunities and technical assistance to organizations that are actively forging new ideas to transform communities and end hunger and poverty. Together, with a network of more than 8,000 grassroots organizations, we share their innovations, mobilize resources and connect them to each other in order to support their work to build healthier, sustainable communities that develop local food systems and strengthen local economies.

Artists Against Hunger & Poverty enlists performing artists to raise funds and awareness for the most innovative and effective community-based organizations fighting hunger and poverty on the frontlines in cities, towns and villages all across the world. WhyHunger offers artists, the artist community and the music industry an opportunity to take a stand by using their voices and resources effectively – doing what they already do so well. Through music we can all make a difference in the world.CORE

Global MovementsImagine There’s No Hunger Campaign - Our on-going partnership with Hard Rock International and Yoko Ono Lennon raised $405,000 through the sale of Imagine wristbands in Hard Rock Cafes around the world. All of the money was awarded to grassroots organizations in nine countries that fed a total of 200,000 children, provided them with an education and taught them to sustainably grow food to increase their families’ ability to provide for themselves into the future.

US Food Sovereignty Alliance - In response to the global food crisis, WhyHunger brought together 75 organizations from across the country to form an alliance, promoting the right of people to have control over the food they eat, harvest, sell and produce. Together, in 2011, we worked to combat illegal land grabs and promote sustainable agriculture. The alliance links WhyHunger’s domestic work with the international movement for food sovereignty.

United Nations - WhyHunger works with the United Nations to effect change at the global policy level in support of our work to end hunger and poverty. In 2011, WhyHunger was selected to serve as the North American civil society representative to the UN Committee on World Food Security, an international body charged with addressing the current global food crisis and preventing future ones. In this role, we have been working to address the food price swings and land access for small-scale farmers.

National Hunger ClearinghouseNational Hunger Hotline - WhyHunger’s committed staff and volunteers at 1-866-3-HUNGRY helped more than 18,900 hungry Americans to find emergency food in their neighborhood and get connected to federal nutrition programs, especially SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and WIC (Women, Infants and Children Program). To combat childhood hunger, we registered 4,600 community-based locations for the USDA Summer Food Service Program and referred more than 2,400 low-income families to a site in their community to receive free, nutritious meals. During the summer months, when childhood hunger in the U.S. peaks, WhyHunger helps the USDA feed 2.2 million children.

National Hunger Clearinghouse - Sharing information and resources with thousands of emergency food providers, the Clearinghouse helps build the capacity of grassroots organizations to improve the quality of the food and services they provide to clients, while connecting them to news and resources from the USDA Food and Nutrition Service. Last year, we doubled the number of subscribers to our Clearinghouse Connection online newsletter that provides valuable USDA updates and other useful information.

Grassroots Action NetworkBuilding Community Power to Eliminate Food Deserts - We worked in the Mississippi Delta, southeastern Arizona and the central coast of California to organize multi-sector coalitions to increase access to healthy and nutritious food in areas known as “food deserts.” With funding from the WK Kellogg Foundation and Kresge Foundations, we brought together community stakeholders to build congregational and community gardens; develop demonstration farms and permaculture schools; grow farm to school programs and educate consumers, growers and market managers to develop and promote the local food economy.

Community Learning Project - Rooted in our core value that many of the best ideas and programs come from the grassroots, WhyHunger launched a co-mentoring experience bringing together community-based groups from different parts of the country to share and replicate their best, most innovative model programs and techniques. In 2011, we worked with fifteen organizations in six teams, spanning eleven states.

Food Security Learning Center - WhyHunger offers comprehensive research materials, profiles and resources related to food security, hunger and poverty. In 2011, by launching a new digital platform, we expanded the user experience with customized information portfolios and an in-depth exploration of more than twenty topics including the newly launched Youth in the Food System; Food, Faith and Spirituality; the Food and Farm Bill; and an update to Race and the Food System.

Harry Chapin Self-Reliance Awards - Created in 1985 and inspired by Sandy Chapin, the annual awards support the most innovative and successful community based food, hunger and poverty programs in the U.S. Over the years, we have awarded over $700,000 to 150 grassroots organizations. In 2011, ten winners each received $7,000 to support unique programs ranging from sustainable agriculture-based youth programs and farmer training programs to food pantries serving locally-produced healthy whole foods for low-income and immigrant communities.

Artists Against Hunger & Poverty Artists Against Hunger & Poverty - WhyHunger partners with artists and their fans to raise awareness and funds to support effective, community -based organizations working to combat hunger and poverty worldwide. In 2011, the program raised more than $100,000 through auctions, artist ticket sales, merchandise sales and per ticket concert donations. Over the years, founding member Bruce Springsteen, Michael McDonald, Jackson Browne, Chicago, Earth, Wind and Fire, Natalie Merchant, Papa Roach, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels and others have raised $12 million to help more than 500 organizations. In 2011, artists Bleu, MojoB, Carolyn Wonderland, Burlap to Cashmere and more joined our roster.

2011 ACCOMPLISHMENTS

FROMTHE GRASSROOTS UP

FROMTHE GRASSROOTS UP

FROMTHE GRASSROOTS UP

WHAT-WhyHunger’s policy and track record of partnering with major funders to support grassroots hunger and poverty programs throughout the U.S. and in 25 countries in Asia, Africa and South America.

WHY-Much of the most cost effective, innovative and successful work to combat hunger comes from grassroots organizations that are often under resourced, under staffed and over worked.

HOW-We tune into the assets and challenges of the partner community, especially dedicated individuals and grassroots organizations already working in the community. We do not bring solutions from the top down or from the outside, but rather we work with the community and bring needed resources to complement their work and to discover together additional resources and solutions.

The Community Learning Project for Food Justice,a national peer-to-peer capacity building and mentorship program to support community-based learning in the food justice movement, was launched in 2011. In its inaugural year, fifteen organizations worked in teams to share complementary resources, develop skills and technical expertise and implement specific food and hunger related community programs. Participants brought a tremendous amount of knowledge and expertise to the program, ranging from developing a worker owned farm cooperative and building a successful distribution system for small minority farmers, to storytelling through multimedia and community organizing. Each organization received a small stipend to support their work and have benefited from professional development trainings, technical assistance, regional site visits and national gatherings.

The US Food Sovereignty Alliancewas officially launched at its first annual assembly on November 9th in Oakland, CA. The Assembly was attended by a diverse group of 75 people from seven regions of the US , as well as Canada, Brazil, and Mexico, representing five different sectors of the food system - fishermen; farmers; urban gardeners and food justice activists; food and farm workers; and allies. Through an intense, day-long group process, the group arrived at common priority areas for 2012 as well as a commitment to openly addressing power and race dynamics in order to forge a stronger, more unified movement aimed at ending poverty through rebuilding local food economies.

The Building Community Power to Eliminate Food Desertsproject welcomed the Central Coast School Food Alliance to its network. The Alliance is working with food service directors and others that are working to improve school food especially for the institutions serving migrant workers’ children. Meanwhile, the Delta Fresh Foods Initiative and Somos la Semilla continue to build supply, create markets and increase demand for healthy and nutritious food in the Mississippi Delta and southeastern Arizona.

grassroots partners and seen firsthand the needs of families worldwide, families that even in 2012 are

going hungry. Through the IMAGINE campaign Hard Rock and WhyHunger have helped communities
