2002 Annual Report From the Executive Director A heartfelt "thank you" goes out to all of the partners who contributed to the success of Second Harvest Heartland during our first fiscal year, 2002. From the individuals, corporations and foundations who provided financial support and volunteer help, to the companies, civic organizations and families that donated grocery products; from our more than 700 member agencies that directly serve those in need, to the board members and staff who have effectively dealt with the daily realities of a newly merged organization, thank you all for helping us fight hunger in the Heartland. It has been an incredible year of challenges, change and accomplishment for this organization, and it is through all your efforts that we were able to implement a merger and still distribute over 29 million pounds of grocery products to the agencies and individuals we serve during the 2002 fiscal year. During the year, our overriding priority has been to keep all of our services going in all of the programs; in other words, we needed to keep the food moving into and out of our warehouses. Meanwhile, meeting the mandates of the merger meant unifying the organization which brought about the challenges of consolidating staffs and boards, inventories, policies, facilities and cultures. It has been a year of assessing needs, identifying functions, analyzing/developing processes, seeking efficiencies/economies, updating systems, achieving compliance, rightsizing staffing, conducting feasibility studies, implementing controls, training and more. The results of an in-depth feasibility study brought about a significant decision last summer, when the board and staff determined that it would be possible to consolidate all inventory into the larger of the two existing warehouses. By modifying the Maplewood warehouse for maximum space efficiency, numerous benefits would be realized; most significantly, all of our agencies would have access to the entire inventory. We have also received grants to computerize our financial, warehousing and ordering systems. These systems will increase ordering accuracy for our agencies and reporting accuracy of our warehouse inventory. When fully converted, we will be prepared to install an on-line agency ordering system that should become available through America's Second Harvest by late 2003. All of these internal improvements are being implemented with the goal of making Second Harvest Heartland a more efficient and more effective hunger-relief organization. The current slumping economy is driving an ever-increasing demand for our services, and donations are not keeping pace with that demand. We must continually strive as an organization to be frugal, innovative and dedicated to improving the means and methods by which we fight hunger. We count on, and greatly appreciate your continued support of Second Harvest Heartland. With Gratitude, R. Jane Brown Executive Director 2 Second Harvest Heartland From the Chairman of the Board Dear Friends of Second Harvest Heartland, Celebrate accomplishments, but we can always do better! In December 2000 the boards of Second Harvest Heartland's predecessor organizations voted unanimously to "move toward merger." That historic vote signaled important leadership for strengthening hunger relief in our communities and doing the hard work necessary to accomplish great things. Celebrate accomplishments, and we are doing better! As Second Harvest Heartland reached its first birthday on October 1, 2002 and there was much to celebrate! Over 29 million pounds of food have been distributed in the past year through the incredible work of donors, volunteers and a dedicated staff. Celebrate accomplishments, but we must do even better! There are still too many hungry people for any of us to rest on our accomplishments. The faltering economy means that our donations are down when demand for services is up! Second Harvest Heartland will need the expanded support of all of our partners in hunger relief if we are to meet the growing demand in our communities. With your help we will be well positioned so that the historic vote two years ago will make historic progress in helping hungry people today, and in the years to come. Sincerely, Michael P.

Second Harvest Heartland is the Upper Midwest’s largest non-profit hunger-relief organization. We collect food and personal care products and distribute them through a variety of innovative programs. Reaching beyond the trucks, warehouses and food safety systems, Second Harvest Heartland serves the community by helping our neighbors in times of trouble. Our programs support needy children, expectant mothers and seniors. They rescue nutritious food from being dumped into landfills. And our programs create new opportunities for people who have none. The people we serve include the working family, single parent households, the elderly and disabled. According to "Hunger in America 2001", a nationwide survey by America's Second Harvest, 78% of the households we serve are either working, retired or have someone with a disability in the household. Second Harvest Heartland supports more than 700 human service agencies throughout 61 counties in central and southwestern Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Our agencies include food shelves, homeless shelters, on-site meal programs, childcare centers, group homes, after-school programs, battered women's shelters and senior programs. By soliciting, warehousing and distributing donations of all sizes from corporations, distributors and individuals, Second Harvest Heartland can provide a variety of nutritious and culturally specific food to fight hunger. Second Harvest Heartland unveils our new look! Staff and board members have been diligently working with a team from the Yamomoto Moss design firm, and are now proud to present the new logo for Second Harvest Heartland. The creation of our new identity is a product of a thorough process that incorporates the organization's mission, strengths and goals into a simple, elegant and descriptive graphic. Along with the logo, new marketing materials will also be designed as part of the Community Building Program grant that provides our organization up to $100,000 in pro bono services from Yamamoto Moss. The new logo will soon be incorporated into all the venues which currently display the Second Harvest Heartland image. 4 Second Harvest Heartland Financial Statements Second Harvest Heartland Financial Statements Statement of Financial Position As of September 30, 2002 Assets: Current Assets: Cash and cash equivalent Investments Accounts Receivable Inventory in Kind Other Current Assets Total Current Assets Land, building, and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation Other Assets Total Assets Liabilities: Current Liabilities: Accounts payable Current maturities of long-term debt Fiscal agent payable Accrued expenses Total Current Liabilities Long Term Debt, net of current portion Total Liabilities Net assets: Unrestricted Operations Food Bank Temporarily restricted Total Net Assets Total Liabilities & Net Assets Statement of Activities and Change in Net Assets For the Period 10/1/01-9 9/30/02 2002 $ 1,292,224 401,066 476,792 3,072,983 40,466 5,283,531 1,604,650 9,955 $ 6,898,136 $ 108,527 38,422 114,617 210,970 472,536 1,049,133 1,521,669 2,238,775 3,072,983 64,709 5,376,467 $ 6,898,136 Financial Information for the Fiscal Year 10/1/01-9/30/02.

The Food Bank forms the foundation of our food distribution system and supports the additional programs we operate. Produce In order to facilitate nutritionally balanced diets, the Food Bank also places a special emphasis on receiving and distributing fresh produce. Fruits and vegetables are received from wholesalers, distributors and farmers. This highly nutritious food is provided to member agencies or distributed directly to lowincome recipients through neighborhood community partners. In 2002, nearly 4 million pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables were distributed. The Food Bank Approximately 80% of the more than 29 million pounds of grocery products distributed by Second Harvest Heartland in the fiscal year 2002 were distributed through the Food Bank. This core program of Second Harvest Heartland is a clearinghouse for dry, refrigerated and frozen foods, personal care items and Purchase Program other non-food products. Food Bank staff solicit Second Harvest Heartland buys grocery products at large volume donations from the food industry, in reduced prices through the purchase program, and addition to receiving food drive products from organ- offers these products to member agencies at low cost. izations and the general public.

Child Hunger Second Harvest Heartland and 550 other agencies. Programs provides delivery service Currently, Second to our member agencies throughout a 61-county Harvest Heartland supplies food to more than 125 service area. Agencies can also pick up their orders at agencies that feed children. Based on a partnership our St. Paul warehouse and Minneapolis Service between America's Second Harvest and ConAgra, Center. Second Harvest sponsors a program known as Kids TM Product Recovery Volunteers in this program sort miscellaneous donations received from food drives and food distributors, and process grocery products that are categorized as unsuitable for retail distribution. They inspect each item, ensure it is fit for use by our agencies, and sort them into various categories. Finished products are then added to the Food Bank inventory. Volunteers processed approximately 1.3 million pounds of grocery products in 2002. Repack The Repack program handles donated food that is not ready for distribution. Often cereal, rice or pasta products are donated in bulk containers, and canned products are donated without labels. Second Harvest Heartland volunteers label and repackage bulk product into sizes suited for individual use. 6 Second Harvest Heartland Cafe at six agencies in the Twin Cities. At these sites, children prepare and eat family-style meals in a safe, nurturing environment that also provides nutrition education, academic assistance and recreational time. CACFP After School Snack Program The CACFP snack program is a federally funded after-school child nutrition program. Second Harvest Heartland provides USDA-approved snacks to agencies to serve to children after the end of the school day. The agencies then receive federal reimbursement from the MN Department of Children, Families and Learning for the snacks they serve. The agencies must also provide organized, structured and supervised enrichment or educational programming to be eligible for the CACFP. MAC/NAPS The Mothers and Children and Nutrition Assistance Program for Seniors (MAC/NAPS) provides monthly supplemental food boxes containing approximately 40 pounds of USDA commodities to income-eligible pregnant women and children up to their sixth birthday, and seniors 60 years and older. Each month volunteers assemble 11,400 food packages, deliver food packages to homebound individuals and assist clients who are picking up their packages. Twelve Baskets Food Rescue Program This program distributes prepared and perishable food donated primarily by the hospitality and grocery industries. USDA approved prepared foods are donated by hotels, restaurants and other food vendors and then distributed to social service agencies with on-site meal programs. Twelve Baskets operates five refrigerated trucks, receives product from more than 200 donors and delivers the product to more than 40 member agencies. In 2002, this program distributed over 1.2 million pounds of food. The Kitchen of Opportunities This program is both an innovative culinary training program and production kitchen. The Kitchen provides basic culinary skills training to low-income individuals seeking work in the hospitality industry. Coursework includes soft skills, financial skills (such as personal budgeting), food safety, cooking skills and culminates in a two-week apprenticeship. The students and staff prepare and package nutritionally balanced meals. Our member agencies can then serve these hot meals without the expense of their own commercial kitchen. Second Harvest Heartland Volunteer Program The Volunteer Services Office’s mission is to support all of Second Harvest Heartland’s programs and activities with volunteers. There are a variety of voluneer needs throughout the organization, including packing MAC/NAPS boxes, sorting salvaged food items, providing professional services and supporting off-site fundraising and special events. The SHH Volunteer Program supplies most of the programs listed above with approximately 5000 hours of service per month and is growing rapidly. Join in the Fight Against Hunger! Contribute Money Monetary donations are Second Harvest Heartland's largest source of revenue, and we depend on your financial support to help us serve our neighbors in need. Our efficiencies and buying power enable us to distribute nine dollars worth of grocery products for each dollar donated to Second Harvest Heartland. There are many ways to contribute money to our organization. You can become a member of the Harvesters, our monthly giving club, or contact your employer to set up a Matching Gift. Corporate and organizational fund drives are a great way to contribute. We also accept stock or planned gifts. It is safe and easy to donate online at www.2harvest.org or for more information contact our Director of Development, Newell Searle, at 651-484-5117. Donate Food and Grocery Items The agencies we serve need nutritional, non-perishable food items and many types of grocery products such as shampoo, diapers and toilet paper. Corporations, church groups, schools and other organizations conduct food drives throughout the year to help stock our shelves. Our warehouses accept donations in sizes ranging from grocery sacks to semi-truckloads. Donations are accepted at both of our warehouses in Maplewood and northeast Minneapolis. We can also arrange for our trucks to pick up large donations in our 61 county region. For more information on donating grocery products, see our website or call 651-484-5117. Give Your Time Volunteers are essential to the Second Harvest Heartland organization. Donations of time reduce administrative overhead and ensure that resources go to those in need. Each year, over 4,000 volunteers contribute nearly 30,000 hours of work. To learn more about current volunteer opportunities, call our Director of Volunteer Services, Tim Panchot, at 651-484-5117 or sign-up at www.2harvest.org. Raise Awareness Learn more about hunger in our community and share the information with your family, friends and coworkers.
