Our MissionTo collect and distribute food to member agencies serving people in need in the Ottawa area.

Our VisionThat no one goes hungry in the Ottawa area.

The year 2010 proved to be a challenging one for the Ottawa Food Bank. During the past two decades, greater than 10% of our product, most of that fresh fruits and vegetables, has come from one supplier– a large east end warehouse– that supplies food to the region’s largest chain of grocery stores. With only one month’s notice, we learned that this warehouse was transferring most of its food distribution operations to Ajax, Ontario. As expected, this had a huge impact on the Ottawa Food Bank and the greater than 140 programs that we support. The organization was quick to counter this challenge, though, and immediately implemented a policy to increase the distribution of canned food items to member agencies by 10%. Certainly, this action was aided by the fact that we have experienced great success with record-breaking food drives over the course of the past fiscal year. And not only did we receive a commitment from our good friends at CFRA to proceed with the ground beef program, Food Aid, for another year, but a new partnership was developed with the Chicken Farmers of Canada. The Food Bank now receives 10 pallets of frozen chicken every quarter. On top of all this, a groundbreaking initiative commenced in the spring of 2010, in partnership with the Ontario Association of Food Banks, when the Ottawa Food Bank introduced Community Harvest Ontario to the region. We are now working with local farmers to not only glean fresh produce from their crop overages, but to also plant and harvest our own crops; all this as an effort to supplement the diets of food bank beneficiaries with fresh, locally grown produce. This program will continue to grow in coming years. On the financial side, our agencies and supporters can be comforted in knowing that, even during these challenging economic times, the Ottawa Food Bank has had another successful year in meeting most of its financial targets, ensuring there will be no changes to the services we provide. Yes, the loss of our single largest supplier of food had a huge impact on the organization, one that we may never fully recover from. But thanks to this great Board / staff / volunteer team that we have in place and, most importantly, thanks to this incredible group of community supporters who care for us each and every day, we look forward to the coming year with optimism, renewed energy and great pride in the work we do to assist those in need in our community.

Executive Director & President of the BoardMessages from

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our employees, volunteers, member agencies and community supporters for the seemingly limitless support that the Ottawa Food Bank (OFB) continues to receive from everyone involved in feeding the hungry in our community. I often remind people that our board is a governance board and not a management board. The Board’s role is to provide strategic direction to the staff and monitor their performance on the delivery and completion of the organization’s business plan. To do this we have adopted some best practices in organizational management:

• Eachfiscalyearweapproveabusinessplanandcreateacorporatecharterinwhichweidentifyallof themajorobjectivesandprojectsforcompletionduringtheyear.TheExecutiveDirectorupdatesthe Board quarterly using a dashboard report that outlines exactly how we are progressing on achieving our goals for the year. • TheBoardfine-tunedtheorganization’sVisionandMissionstatementsincludedinthisreporttobemore concise, focused and aligned with our intended strategy. • TheBoardalsoestablishedanumberofcommitteestoworkmoreintenselyonimportantissueslike fundraising, communications, by-laws and agency relations.

Food Distribution was down significantly from the previous year. Fiscal year 2009 – 2010 proved to be one of the most challenging years ever in the history of the Ottawa Food Bank in large part due to the closure of an east end warehouse that had provided us with greater than 10% of our product for more than twenty years.

Eventhoughtheorganizationsentoutmore‘A’(CannedGoods),‘B’(BabySupply)andFreshHarvest/City Harvest items than ever before, the loss of product from this supplier still left its mark on the overall operations.

Summary of Financial Statements (Condensed): Fiscal Year 2009-2010

Financially, fiscal year 2009 – 2010 proved to be another successful year for the Ottawa Food Bank. While our regular, staple fundraising activities – such as special events and direct mail campaigns – remain strong, it is encouragingto see growth in the areas of corporate donations and planned giving.

Food purchases continue to be the single largest expense item, even with savings on canned food purchases thanks to the success of the large food drives. As well, the addition of three new staff positions increased the salary expenses.

Community Harvest

The Ottawa Food Bank participated as one of four pilot locations chosen by the Ontario Association of Food Banks to partner with local farmers to dramatically increase the amount of fresh, healthy produce distributed to our member agencies and, in turn, local families in need. Through this program initiative, we are developing a strong network of local farmers who are setting aside land for growing projects, offering opportunities to Food Bank volun-teers to prepare beds, plant seeds, weed and pick produce, and donating left over produce which cannot be sold at market. This program brought in 35,000 lbs of fresh produce and will continue to grow in coming years.

Mobile Giving

In 2010, the Ottawa Food Bank was one of the first local charities to join the mobile giving revolution, offering donors another way of showing support by texting donations via their cell or smart phone. For example, you can text the word HUNGRY to 45678 and a $5 charge will show up on your next cell phonebill.DonationsareprocessedbytheMobileGivingFoundation(www.mobilegiving.ca)andaredirectedtothecharity.VisitorstoFoodBank’sweb-site (www.theottawafoodbank.ca) can also give by adding their mobile phone numberandserviceprovidertotheMobileGivingwidgetthatappearsonthehome page.
