Dear friends of Feed More,

We are incredibly grateful for your continued support, compassion and generosity! Because of you, we’re able to collect, prepare and distribute nearly 21 million meals across our service area and help provide our neighbors with a hand up in their times of need.

As we reflect on this past year, there are many things to celebrate! We continued to see an increase in the amount of food we distributed through our Agency Network and programs to neighbors who face hunger. Most importantly, we’ve continued to increase the amount of fresh produce distributed throughout 34 counties and cities in Central Virginia. Our expanded services to the more rural localities of our service area is well underway. By strengthening our distribution operations and growing key programs, we are working closely with community leaders to improve food security for all of our neighbors. Please read the stories about our growing School Market program and our new 6,000 square-foot Pauley Family Cooler!

This year, we also launched a new look and feel for our hunger-fighting operations! Our organization has experienced a tremendous amount of growth since its inception and through the creation of our bolder visual identity system, we will strengthen our awareness, minimize confusion and connect all our programs under one simplified brand. Streamlining our messaging while infusing hope, empathy and human connection into our brand was a priority and we hope you enjoy seeing a fresh take on what we do here at Feed More.

Looking toward the future, we remain even more steadfast in our commitment to distributing nourishing food to our neighbors who need it most. You cannot be your best self or adequately provide for your family when you are chronically worried about your next meal. By increasing access to nutritious food and strengthening our distribution channels throughout our vast service area, we can help ensure our neighbors have the nourishment they need to lead healthy, happy lives. When you eat well, you feel good, and a healthy community benefits us all.

Grounded in our culture of continuous improvement and with our renewed brand woven in to all that we do, we are beyond excited to continue on our strategic journey! Through the investment in tools and technology that will support the streamlining of our processes and the strengthening of our data management, we will be able to work smarter, and more efficiently, to help our neighbors in their times of need.

With roots in our communities that date back more than 50 years, we are here for our neighbors when they need us most! Thank you for standing beside us and the passion you have for our mission. It means the world to us and our neighbors across Central Virginia who struggle with hunger.

In deep appreciation,

Douglas H. Pick President and Chief Executive Officer

Michael C. Morrell Chair, Board of Directors

There aren’t many people that can say they’ve worked at the same place for 20 years these days, but Feed More employee Sydney Robinson can! Sydney has been with our organization since March of 1999 and before that, she was a volunteer who did a little bit of everything.

As our Accounts Receivable Assistant, Sydney works in our Agency Shopping Area where she helps facilitate the distribution of fresh produce, nonperishables, bread and other food items to our network of close to 300 agencies. She is the first person our agency shoppers see when they walk in and the last person on their way out.

“I check everyone in when they arrive and check them out when they’ve finished,” said Sydney. “A lot of times agency members will need help finding something or have questions and it’s my job to help make their experience a good one each time they come.”

Dora Ellis, Controller at Feed More, has seen the compassionate and helpful way Sydney responds to questions or concerns from our Agency Network.

“Sydney has a great feel for the issues and concerns of our agency members,” shared Dora. “As they ask questions, she steers them to the right person who can learn what our agencies are thinking and how Feed More can better serve their need.”

One of the things Sydney loves most about working at Feed More is the relationships she’s been able to develop and nurture with all of our Agency Network members. In fact, one of our agencies, Faith, Hope and Victory Chapel, located in Ashland, awarded Sydney a 2018 Seasoned Senior Citizen award!

“I love talking to and catching up with the people from our agencies,” shared Sydney. “I’ll ask how they’re doing and what they’ve been up to since the last time I saw them. Having those friendly relationships is such a fun part of my job.”

When Sydney isn’t at Feed More you’ll find her visiting her three kids (who she proudly shared are all military veterans!), four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren in Texas and Oklahoma. Sydney is also an avid reader and loves to travel. She hopes her next big travel adventure takes her to the Grand Canyon!

A Lasting Commitment

Every year, thousands of kind souls donate their time, totaling over 150,000 hours, and talents to our mission.

One great thing about volunteering at Feed More is all the different ways you can get involved in our mission! From delivering Meals on Wheels to preparing food in our Bayard Community Kitchen to sorting donations we receive from our community, every volunteer is able to make a difference.

While food-centric activities like these are plentiful, we are also incredibly fortunate to have individuals who share their special talents with us.

One such generous, passionate and all-around awesome volunteer is Jerry Osborne, who in addition to playing an integral role in our packing and sorting sessions, has also become our go-to volunteer photographer.

“Jerry came to us three years ago with an amazing amount of energy and excitement,” said Elaine Esposito, Field Site Supervisor and Volunteer Coordinator at Feed More, with a smile. “From sorting perishable donations to running the tape machine for our Commodity Supplemental Food Program, Jerry has a special place in our hearts and his optimism and sense of humor are so very welcome and appreciated.”

With his intimate, behind-the-scenes knowledge of our operations, Jerry has photographed a little bit of everything for us, and always done it with a big smile on his face.

“Without question, Jerry is an honorary member of our team,” said Suzy Rohler, Director of Brand, Marketing & Communications at Feed More. “His ability to capture our day-to-day operations and help us visually tell the story of who we are and what we do is unmatched. We are so thankful to have Jerry on our team to help us tell Feed More’s story.”

And with incredible individuals like Jerry on our hunger-fighting team, we are able to help ensure we are here for our neighbors, when they need us most, and have a pretty good time while doing it!

Our School Market

Reaches More Youth In September of 2017, Feed More launched the School Market pilot program at South Boston Elementary School in Halifax County. The program was created to help combat weekend hunger by distributing wholesome food for healthy meals to students and their families.

Lauren O’Grady, who worked at Feed More for a two-year assignment as a member of Feeding America’s Child Hunger Corps, conducted a thorough six-month Community Needs Assessment. Through her research, Lauren identified that one of the largest meal gaps for children is during the weekend, when school meals are not provided.

“Through the research and interviews I conducted, we found that if the child is food insecure, so is the family,” said Lauren. “The School Market addresses hunger from a household level and actively engages the students and their parents with the distribution.”

With the help of a generous grant from Morgan Stanley, the School Market has come to life and grown in the southern region of our service area. Arranged in a farmers-market style, buckets of apples, potatoes, carrots and healthy nonperishable foods line the tables with little hands scooping and counting out the produce their family brings home.

We have also been able to leverage partnerships with local organizations like the Virginia Cooperative Extension that provide food demonstrations where students can try easy-to-prepare, healthy meals like oatmeal with peanut butter or broccoli pasta.

During the 2017-18 school year, Feed More’s School Market was able to expand to additional elementary schools, one each in Halifax County and Mecklenburg County. This expansion allowed us to distribute over 49,000 healthy meals to more than 1,600 students and their families!

The School Markets have been a resounding success in both of the pilot counties. Greensville County Public School Superintendent shared, “My sincerest congratulations to the Feed More organization on the success of the School Pantry program. I am looking forward to our continued partnership in the future.”

This success has led the way for even more growth for the 2018-19 school year and we are pleased to include two more elementary schools in the School Market program.

Feed More’s Agency Network consists of almost 300 nonprofits organizations across our 34-county and -city service area, including food pantries, churches, soup kitchens and many more. These agencies help us further extend our reach and effectively and efficiently distribute food to our neighbors in need across Central Virginia.

Healthy Harvest Food Bank (formerly Northern Neck Food Bank) has been a member of our Agency Network since 2010, and has grown to become one of our most robust agencies! In April 2018, Healthy Harvest Food Bank, officially became Feed More’s first Partner Distribution Organization (PDO). As a PDO, Healthy Harvest helps distribute food to Feed More’s 24 agencies in the Northern Neck and Upper Middle Peninsula regions, and has taken on many of the regulatory and compliance responsibilities associated with this role.

A Healthy Investment in

Our Agency Network

“Healthy Harvest has had strong relationships with the agencies in their community for a long time, and by expanding their role as a PDO, they’re now directly communicating, coordinating with, regulating, providing support, training and distributing food to our agencies in the Northern Neck,” shared Erin Lingo, Senior Manager of Agency Relations at Feed More. “It was a good next step in our partnership with them and has been an exciting new venture that will allow us to better serve the people of Northern Neck and help Feed More continue to streamline our operations.”

Like Feed More, Healthy Harvest understands the important role fresh produce plays in fighting hunger and has created a robust agricultural program that’s become a signature for the organization.

Working with close to 20 farmers, Healthy Harvest’s volunteers work more than 1,000 hours each year gleaning fields – a process in which produce that is left in the fields after harvest is salvaged and moved through their distribution center to people in need. Once in Healthy Harvest’s distribution center, the gleaned produce is then sorted and distributed to agencies throughout the Northern Neck and Upper Middle Peninsula. Anything that can’t be distributed there is sent to Feed More to be distributed to agencies throughout the rest of our service area.

“For our agencies to have a local food bank that is part of their community, it helps ensure that the Feed More network is better working for them and their needs,”

On the Road

to Fight HungerWith our service area stretching across 34 counties and cities in Central Virginia, it is essential that we have a robust fleet of vehicles to help us collect, prepare and distribute food to our neighbors in their times of need.

Understanding the growing rates of food insecurity in the more rural localities of our service area, we are committed to distributing even more fresh produce and healthy food to these neighbors. By improving our ability to distribute perishable and nonperishable food products through our Agency Network, we can help ensure neighbors across our service area have access to healthy meals year round.

From tractor trailers to box trucks to smaller vehicles with temperature-controlled climates, we have been able to grow our diverse fleet due in part to the support we receive from our community partners.

Through generous donations and philanthropic gifts from corporate and retail partners like Food Lion, Kroger, Publix, Smithfield and Union Bank, we have strengthened our hunger-fighting convoy to meet the needs of the neighbors we serve.

With our growing fleet, we are on the road to fight hunger and feed more throughout Central Virginia!

This past spring, Feed More was fortunate to receive a new phone system, courtesy of Infotel, a locally-owned communications company specializing in voice and data technology.

“Our communications system had grown into a big problem, causing outages and costing us additional maintenance money,” said Julie Leatherman, Chief Financial Officer at Feed More. “After sitting down and talking to the team at Infotel about what we were looking for, they were able to help us pinpoint exactly what we needed.”

Within a few months of meeting, Julie received the call from Chuck Broderson, owner of Infotel, informing her that they had decided to donate a new communications system, free of cost, to Feed More!

“As Infotel celebrated our 30th anniversary, we couldn’t think of a better way to honor the 50th

anniversary of Feed More’s Meals on Wheels program than by donating the entire phone system to Feed More,” shared Chuck. “We are thankful to be around for so long, and this donation was a way to recognize Feed More for all they do, and a way to thank our Richmond community.”

Since the installation was completed in March, our staff has noticed significantly improved reliability and remarkable improvements in their use of the phones. Upgrades to the voicemail system and new features like remote desk phones have become an essential part of how we work. Even voice quality improved dramatically.

Helping Us Make

a Better Connection

“For me, I love that I can quickly and easily get a call to the right person,” explained Jamaal Williams, Feed More’s front desk receptionist.

For our Operations team, being accessible while on the go is key to helping ensure their days run smoothly.

“In my position, when someone needs to get in contact with me, it generally means something has gone wrong, so having a wireless connection to my desk phone that I can be reached on any time helps me respond faster,” said Michael Geddes, Feed More’s Safety and Compliance Manager. “The sooner we are able to fix problems, the sooner we are able to get back to work.”

Our Meals on Wheels team relies on the phones more than many of our other departments. This team is in constant communication with our recipients and volunteer drivers. A dependable, easy-to-use system is a must to help ensure that the homebound seniors and disabled neighbors we help, along with our dedicated volunteers, are getting the service they need.

“The Infotel phones are very intuitive,” said Jess Goldberg, Client Services Operations Manager at Feed More. “With this gift, Infotel has made a tremendous investment to support the work we do with our recipients.”

It’s the generosity and giving spirit of businesses like Infotel that enable us to collect, prepare and distribute food to those in need in the most effective and efficient way possible.

MEALS DELIVERED BY FEED MORE’S MEALS ON WHEELS PROGRAM

A Golden AnniversaryOn October 16, 1967, eight homebound residents in the City of Richmond received a meal delivered by then-Richmond Mayor, Morrill Crowe and his wife, Katheryne, marking the official launch of the Meals on Wheels program. Since then, Feed More has delivered close to 7.8 million meals to homebound neighbors who are unable to shop for or prepare nutritious meals on their own.

“It is our duty and responsibility to take care of those who have given so much of themselves and I am so proud of the great work our community has done to support our region’s seniors,” said Doug Pick, Chief Executive Officer and President of Feed More. “For more than 50 years, our Meals on Wheels program has been delivering nutritious meals and peace of mind to our senior and homebound neighbors.”

Catering to a range of dietary needs, our meals are prepared fresh, and from scratch, in our state-of-the-art Steve and Sara Bayard Community Kitchen.

“We recognize that many of the neighbors we help struggle to manage diet-related diseases like diabetes or high blood pressure,” said Amory James, Director of Meals on Wheels and the Community Kitchen at Feed More.

“My team takes great pride in the meals made in our kitchen and we have worked hard to create nutrient-dense, medically-appropriate meals that are close to the comfort food we all know and love.”

From shepherd’s pie to barbeque pulled pork to Italian meatloaf with gravy, our delicious Meals on Wheels meals are hand-delivered by our caring volunteers neighbors across 14 localities in and around the Richmond metro area.

We rely on more than 100 Meals on Wheels volunteers each weekday, who provide our recipients with a friendly smile and that important safety check, making Feed More’s Meals on Wheels program extend far beyond the meal. We look forward to serving our community for another 50 years!

The Senate of Virginia Page Leadership Program led by Program Director Bladen Finch, who was recently recognized by Richmond’s Style Weekly as one of the Top 40 Under 40, has given back to our mission in a big way since 2013. Through donations of food, funds and time, this group has helped us provide more than 149,000 meals to our neighbors in their times of need!

Structured similar to a college preparatory class focused on developing future leaders, throughout the course of this seven to nine-week program, the 34 Pages have their plates full! From studying the Virginia constitution to learning the daily legislative calendar to assisting Senators during floor sessions and committee meetings, these young men and women do a little bit of everything during their time at the Capitol, all while keeping up with school work assigned by their home schools and helping Feed More!

A big component of the Pages’ Community Service Project is collecting food and funds to help us feed more, which the Pages do in a variety of ways. Whether it is setting up food donation boxes in the Capitol and legislative

The Blue Blazer Brigade buildings, seeking donations from lobbyists, legislators, family members and others they work closely with, we continue to be impressed by the creative and impactful ways each Page class supports our mission.

“We are so very thankful for our continued partnership with the Senate of Virginia’s Page Leadership Program,” said Tim McDermott, Chief Development Officer at Feed More. “By continuing to choose Feed More as their Community Service Project, they have helped make a significant difference in the fight against hunger.”

In addition to the financial support and donation of food, for the past few years the members of the Senate Page class have also come in to lend a helping hand at Feed More by sorting the food they have gathered.

The future is looking mighty bright with these young women and men leading the charge!
