IMPACT REPORT2015

This summer I had the incredible opportunity to take a three month sabbatical from The Hunger Coalition. During this time, I visited Sister Joan, a mentor who helped shape the person I am today. I worked with her 19 years ago in Thailand. An Australian nun, she is now 83 years old and still living and working in the slums of Bangkok.
When I volunteered with her, we were up at dawn each day, providing infant formula for babies, and school uniforms and food for children whose parents had either died from AIDS or were barely scraping by. The living conditions were abysmal and the work was physically and emotionally exhausting. Despite the challenges, I loved it.
Revisiting her is one of the highlights of my life, renewing my inspiration in service to our community. Sister Joan’s commitment to children has never waned. She believes the key to their success lies in giving children the tools to create a better life through education. We couldn’t agree more.
This past year you helped us increase our children’s programs by 200%. This Impact Report shows snapshots of your support in action. We chose to focus primarily on kids in this issue because we, like Sr. Joan, recognize that a vital way to break the cycle of poverty is to give children the tools needed to become healthy, contributing adults.
Education is crucial, yet children struggle to learn without adequate nutrition. The programs you help to fund provide essential food, nutrition education and, ultimately, hope to children and families living in crisis.
Together, you make our community stronger. Thank you.
With Sincere Gratitude,
FROM ThE ExECuT IvE dIRECTOR jeanne l iston
We envision a community free from
hunger where all individuals are able to participate as healthy,
contributing members.
The Hunger Coalition strives to end hunger in our community by providing wholesome
food to those in need and by promoting solutions to the underlying causes
of hunger through collaboration, education
and advocacy.

Meet Eduardo Escalera. Instead of hanging out with his friends by the river during the summer, Eduardo spends his mornings volunteering at Lunch in the Park. Part of
our Summer Food Program, Lunch in the Park is an essential component to ensure that no child in Blaine County goes hungry. He’s an 11-year old with a big heart, a can-do attitude and our stand-out, star volunteer for the summer.
The Summer Food Program works in collaboration with the Blaine County School District to fill the nutritional gap for children who can’t access school meals
during the summer months. This program takes the burden off parents by supplying f r e e breakfasts and lunches during summer school, and free sack lunches in low income housing neighborhoods and at participating summer camps serving at-risk youth.
We are proud that the Summer Food Program has served over 45,000 free, healthy meals since its inception. Thank you to our partners: Blaine County 4-H, The Community Library, Bellevue Public Library, Environmental Resource Center and Hailey Public Library for providing crazy fun activities for the kids this year. We are thrilled to collaborate with our community to help feed the tummies and minds of so many kids!
IMPACT
To date, nearly 16,000 bottles
worth of infant formula have been distributed to babies in need through our Infant Formula Initiative.
The Summer Food Program served
4,533 breakfasts and lunches in the
summer of 2015 to local children in need.
Before lunch in the Park, my son was the pickiest eater. We had a hard time getting him to eat anything besides pizza. When we first started coming to the park, he didn’t want to try anything new. now his favorite day is Tuna Tuesday and he asks for snap peas at home!

“Many kids do a good job of disguising their hunger. They don’t want to draw attention to themselves.”

Michael Breen (Mr. Breen to the kids) is a calm, compassionaate high-school teacher in Carey. Over his 22 years of teaching experience, he has seen many students suffering in school from lack of food.
Michael recalls a student whose family situation was unstable—dad wasn’t around very much, and mom worked a lot, leaving him to fend for
himself for many meals. “He would come in some Mondays—famished,” said Michael. “One time he said to me, ‘I really need to eat something.’
Luckily, I could give him some granola bars and cheese and crackers from the Daily Bites pantry, to tide him over for a bit.”
Children in their developing years are heavily impacted by hunger. The long-term effects of chronic hunger and malnutrition in children include physical, mental, and emotional developmental and behavioral problems, a decreased ability to learn and perform well in school and increased frequency of disciplinary issues. That’s why we have our Snack Pack and Daily Bites programs, offering supplemental nutrition to children during the school year. “There is a need for these programs,” said Michael. “It makes it difficult to teach when kids are hungry, and I think it’s made a difference in many students’ lives, having this supplemental food.”
IMPACT
Over 51,000 healthy snacks were provided to
1,407 hungry kids through the
Daily Bites program in the 2015 fiscal year.
56% of the people we served in
fiscal year 2015 were children 18 and under .
A record high
5,058 Snack Packs were distributed to local school
children facing hunger in the 2014-15 school year!
i work with a population of teenage students who have severe learning challenges. i also have students who have very litt le food in their homes. due to poverty and other issues, many of my students eat their main meals at school. i have one student in particular who takes some of the healthy snacks provided and puts them in his backpack for evenings. his family situation is difficult and he is often not fed a meal at home in the evening.

They’re known as “The Dreamers”. These feisty, fifth-grade kids are a part of the local I Have a Dream Foundation Idaho. Last year these dreamers participated in The Hunger Coalition’s cooking classes, Cooking Matters®, and learned—in a fun way—about healthy cooking and nutrition education. In collaboration with the Idaho Foodbank, Cooking Matters® is a national cooking-based, nutrition
education program that teaches families and children how to prepare healthy, tasty meals on a limited budget.
The Hunger Coalition also brings entertaining, nutrition-packed workshops to summer camps, after school programs and community groups serving at-risk youth. This summer, kids lined up to spin the nutrition wheel and learn something new at our Lunch in the Park. “The wheel was a big hit and really got the kids excited to participate,” said Krista Felton, Summer Food Program manager. “Activities like Fruit & Veggie Critters gave kids knowledge and skills to make healthier decisions in a truly fun setting.”
Children and teens are the most vulnerable populations impacted by hunger and poor nutrition. Your support of our nutrition education programs improves the health of the entire community by helping vulnerable populations make healthy food choices today and for generations to come.

During the 2014-15 school year, the VOICE II students committed to volunteer at The Hunger Coalition once a week for a full year. Led by rock-star special education teacher, Jamie Ellison, the VOICE II students (kids with disabilities aged 18-21) lit up our warehouse every Wednesday. With the tunes cranked and projects outlined, they were ready to get down and dirty.
“The Hunger Coalition allowed for realistic, hands-on learning
opportunities in which students learned by doing. This helped streamline students’ success from school to employment after graduation by allowing a safe, realistic, and fun environment in which to practice and apply vocational skills before they are out in the ‘real’ world doing it on their own,” said Jamie.
“I’ve learned how to cook with many new foods such as leeks,” said VOICE II graduate, Dacota Ratcliffe. “I didn’t really know what a leek even was before coming to The Hunger Coalition . One day we sorted some, and I was given a recipe to make Potato Leek soup,” said Dacota. “The next day at VOICE II, I made the recipe and it was super good—I will definitely make it again.”

910 bags of cat and dog food were distributed through
Paws for Hunger in partnership with the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley.
Teofila was diagnosed with an extremely rare autoimmune disease last year, and was encouraged to eat a steady diet of fresh fruits and vegetables. The disease forced her to relinquish her place in the work force and caused her to lose a dangerous amount of weight. In order for her to recover strength and good health, her nutritionist put her on a high-calorie diet. This past spring, she participated in our Grow Your Own program,
providing her the opportunity to care for herself while receiving support from our services during this time of crisis.
“My parents were farmers, but this is my first time to grow my own fruits and vegetables,” she said. “Because I cannot work, gardening helps me not become depressed. It’s a great occupational therapy for me. It keeps me active. I hope my story motivates others to participate in Grow Your Own if they are struggling with depression or their own health.”
Teofila appreciates that this program involves the entire family. “Now my daughter has become accustomed to healthy food—when she eats unhealthy food she tells me that she notices how it makes her feel different.”
Teofila first heard of The Hunger Coalition when she was a volunteer at St. Luke’s Wood River Hospital several years ago and shortly after became a volunteer at The Hope Garden. Teofila was one of The Hunger Coalition’s first graduates of our cooking and nutrition classes in 2012.

The Hunger Coalition’s cadre of committed donors make our work possible. We are honored to highlight Charlotte Unger, whose generous support brings hope to a multitude of children and families in need.
“When I consider philanthropic investments in this community, I make it a priority to fund those organizations that are effectively meeting a
community need, have programs that help people to help themselves, and are fiscally responsible with strong volunteer support. All of these factors put
The Hunger Coalition right at the top of my list of organizations to fund.
With a staff that is small but mighty, Jeanne, Naomi and the rest are sensitive, caring, and practical in providing help and guidance to their clients. They take each case, without judgment, and provide each person—adult and child—with hope. They instill confidence and a sense of self-reliance by giving their clients the tools to improve the situation they are in. Their fierce commitment to efficiency and resourcefulness results in high productivity. I feel confident that my investment is well spent and directly impacts the vulnerable citizens in our community.” —Charlotte Unger

With more than 40% of food wasted in America, The Hunger Coalition is committed to reducing food waste in our county by recovering usable food before disposal—that’s why we created our Food Rescue program. Divided into three parts, the Food Rescue program recovers: harvest from farms and gardens, food from local grocery
stores, and fruit from local trees.
During the summer and fall, volunteers and students from The Sage School canvass the valley collecting excess fruit from bursting fruit trees. Many area farms and orchards with surplus fruits and vegetables generously donate to The Hunger Coalition. Our local grocery stores are important partners in the Food Rescue program. Atkinsons’ Markets, Albertsons and Main Street Market provide rescued food weekly to our food bank distributions.
Thanks to these partnerships, we distributed over $106,000 worth of rescued food to families in need last year!

45,851 pounds of food were

it ’s great to see clients’ eyes light up at the food distributions when they see the beautiful rescued fruits and veggies offered—and the satisfaction the farmers and volunteers get from donating and picking food that may have otherwise been wasted is heartwarming.

At each of our monthly Board Meetings, we receive a Staff Impact Report—a compilation of synopses from each of The Hunger Coalition staff members about the work they are doing, how they are implementing programs, and how they are responding to the many faces of hunger in our community. These stories are invariably a blend of the great challenges we face, and the power and hope behind all of the people who work together to make a difference.
Recently we learned something new. From north of Ketchum to Bellevue, in various trailer parks and small housing developments, there is a population of children effectively stranded. Not only are many of these children hungry, but they also lack access to so many of the services and amenities we take as given in this community: recreation, access to the library, children’s camps and programs, and simply interacting with different people.
This discussion was hard to hear and difficult to be a part of. The fact that there is hunger in our community often shocks people. Stories like this continue to highlight the depth and complexity of hunger in our valley.
The upside to learning about this hidden population of children is what is evidenced in this publication—the support and resolve of this committed group of people.
The generosity of our community enables us to move from discovery to action: learning about kids stranded in the summer; recording increasing numbers of students needing snacks to make it through the school day; uncovering the needs of our community through the Community Food Assessment (see inset). We are able to greet each of these discoveries with action.
You have supported The Hunger Coalition generously. You have put this organization in the position to respond to meet the daily hunger of our clients, to uncover hidden pockets of hunger, and to envision and implement future programs that will help kids left alone in the summer, meet the needs of struggling working families, and provide for the basic needs of all of us.
There will be more evidence of this work in the months and years to come. I look forward to being a part of the work the we are doing together, and to being able to pick up the phone, or write the words I so often feel when this community comes together- Thank you.
With the deepest sense of gratitude,
FROM ThE bOARd harry weekes, president
The Blaine County Food Assessment, led by The Hunger Coalition, wraps up in October

Food has always played an important role in our family. From our early days working our way through college in restaurants to cooking and baking together as a family and most importantly sitting down to dinner together. Food not only nourishes our bodies but also serves as a way to show that we care for one another. It breaks our hearts to think about individuals and families who struggle with something so essential and significant.

The “Daily Bites” program has provided our kids with snacks when they need them the most —the need is far larger than we had expected. Because of the Daily Bites program, we have tons of kids coming in each week to grab a snack from our office, who would otherwise go hungry from noon to at least 6pm. Unintentionally, the Daily Bites program has given us the opportunity to meet some younger kids and create a relationship where they come in and ask about drug tests and different substances.
—Stephanie Miller, former Programs Director for The Drug Coalition

We have been thrilled to partner with The Hunger Coalition this year. As part of that partnership we’ve been able to provide “Daily Bites” a snack program for kids in the Wood River Valley. It has been very rewarding to provide the children with a safe place to be where they can read and learn but also provide a snack to meet a real physical need. We would not be able to provide this service without the help and support of The Hunger Coalition and its supporters.
