LETTER FROM THE BOARD CHAIRLETTER FROM THE BOARD CHAIR

Dear Friends,

Never before in my lifeti me has the need been so great for so many in Ohio. Though ti mes are extraordinarily tough it has been a year of great sati sfacti on for the staff and board of the Ohio Associati on of Second Harvest Foodbanks. We did more than we ever have before to get food to those in need. It is truly a privilege to be involved in this important work.

Moving 24.5 million pounds of Ohio food through our twelve member foodbanks was a monumental accomplishment in these trying ti mes. The many years of experience and dedicati on of the OASHF staff and the staff at the foodbanks was invaluable in maximizing the capacity of the $8.5 million received by the state of Ohio to fund the Ohio Food Purchase Agricultural Clearance Program.

Our partners in the fi ght against hunger can be proud of what we have accomplished together. To the elected offi cials, the farmers and growers, donors, government agencies and our many volunteers, please accept our sincere grati tude on behalf of the thousands of people who received nutriti ous food during their ti me of need.

As the home of The Ohio Benefi t Bank (OBB), OASHF is proud to report that more than $106,807,515 in tax credits and potenti al work supports were identi fi ed for 27,569 Ohio families, with food assistance (SNAP) representi ng nearly twenty percent of that amount. In additi on, OASHF is pleased to report that in partnership with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, e-gateways were established in SFY 2009 that allow OBB to submit completed and legible work support applicati ons to every county Department of Job and Family Service. With 436 new sites established and 2,666 counselors trained in SFY 2009, alone, the Ohio Benefi t Bank is becoming accessible to every Ohioan in the neighborhoods where they live, work, play and pray.

We are all proud of what we have made possible with your help. It was a successful year and there is more hope for the future as the general assembly has wisely invested even more in our eff orts to feed the hungry for FY2010-11. I thank everyone who helped to make it possible for the Ohio Associati on of Second Harvest Foodbanks to do so much for so many. We conti nue to need your support and involvement. Our work is far from fi nished.

Sincerely,

Anne Goodman, President Board of Trustees


Dear Friends of the Hungry,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our many partners for their help in meeti ng the challenges that The Ohio Associati on of Second Harvest Foodbank faced in SFY2009. This was not only a disturbing year for many Ohioans who lost their jobs, but also for our Legislators who had to make very diffi cult decisions, during a ti me in our state’s history where revenues are at their all ti me lowest and unemployment at its highest. Many safety net services were lost during this budget cycle and the Ohio Associati on of Second Harvest Foodbanks was fortunate to receive a modest $2 million increase per year in this biennium, with the increased demand for food averaging 30 percent at most Foodbanks, OASHF and its member foodbanks are challenged to meet that need.

The farmers, growers, producers, hunters and commodity processors have gone above and beyond in helping OASHF meet the demand for food. Stories are in this report that document their product donati ons ranging from produce to eggs to venison, to shipping boxes!

As budget cuts aff ected state and county offi ces, our work with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and the County Departments of Job and Family Services conti nued uninterrupted. We were able to achieve remarkable improvements in The Ohio Benefi t Bank (OBB) process, thanks to the teams at Soluti ons for Progress, Inc. and our government partners. Through the generous support of The Columbus Foundati on, OBB acquired a mobile van that has increased OBB’s capacity for outreach immeasurably. The George Voinovich School of Leadership at Ohio University, completed Phase I of The Ohio Benefi t Bank Assessment, concluding that The OBB is simplifying the way Ohioans access work supports and helps stabilize Ohio families. Phase II of the OBB study is in progress, and will report the longitudinal eff ects of The Ohio Benefi t Bank on its clients. Both studies made possible once again, by The Columbus Foundati on.

The additi on of members from the Nati onal Community Service Council has helped OASHF in a number of areas in SFY 2009. From increasing Summer Food Service Program parti cipati on by youth to training OBB users to being OBB Counselors, these programs have more than tripled OASHF’s human power.

OASHF thanks those in the media who brought life to the issue of hunger in Ohio in SFY 2009. The people who depend on food pantries to feed their families are not that diff erent from each other. Some have recently fallen on hard ti mes, while other families have lived in poverty for generati ons. Local and nati onal media have done a fi ne job of displaying this reality in their stories, reports and editorials. In additi on, thank you to the individuals and families who were willing to tell their stories.

To those individuals who support OASHF through fi nancial contributi ons, I thank you. Each dollar you donate provides fi ve meals for a hungry Ohioan.

I thank the OASHF staff and Board of Trustees for working ti relessly to fulfi ll OASHF’s mission of providing food and other resources to people in need. We could not have been successful in SFY 2009 without the partners you will read about in this Annual Report.

Once again, please accept my humble thank you.

Lisa Hamler-Fugitt , Executi ve Director

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE D IRECTORLETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE D IRECTOR


The Ohio Associati on of Second Harvest Foodbanks (OASHF) is Ohio’s largest charitable response to hunger. OASHF represents 12 regional America’s Second Harvest Foodbanks that distribute food and grocery items to nearly 3,000 member chariti es statewide. These chariti es are comprised of food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, and similar non-profi t organizati ons. In State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2009, OASHF received $8.5 million in funding for the Ohio Food Purchase Agricultural Clearance Program (OFPACP).

Food purchased through the Ohio Food Purchase Agricultural Clearance Program, OASHF’s core program, helps regional foodbanks and member chariti es increase their fl exibility to supplement and enhance local food purchase programs, donated food items, The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and Commodity Supplemental Food Programs (CSFP), both programs of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The OFPACP program provides an even broader and more nutriti ous selecti on of food for families, individuals, seniors, and the millions of working-poor Ohioans frequenti ng local agencies. During SFY 2009, OASHF acquired and distributed over 24.5 million pounds of food, consisti ng of highly nutriti ous fresh fruits, vegetables, chicken, eggs, and other shelf-stable items.

Knowing that hunger is merely a symptom of poverty, OASHF took a leap of faith and provided a home to The Ohio Benefi t Bank (OBB) and is proud of its expansion in 2009. This web based service, operated by trained counselors, screens applicants for work supports, while simultaneously esti mati ng potenti al eligibility. Completed forms are submitt ed electronically to the local County Departments of Job and Family Services (CDJFS), which begin the determinati on process. Clients receive a copy of their applicati on and a list of required documentati on to submit to their CDJFS to process their applicati on. OBB is also an authorized IRS E-fi ler for both state and federal taxes, screening applicants for the Earned Income Tax Credit as well as other tax credits clients may be eligible to receive. More than 27,000 households, representi ng 48,000 people, received nearly $20 million in food assistance and over $16 million in tax assistance, helping to boost local economies. The Ohio Benefi t Bank and the services it provides is an integral part of Ohio’s economic recovery. As food prices, uti liti es, transportati on and housing costs rise, layoff s, company closures and housing foreclosures conti nue to plague Ohio in SFY 09. The number of Ohioans receiving Unemployment Benefi ts increased to 265,000. Jobs were lost across the state from the private sector to state and local governments. More Ohioans are turning to Ohio’s emergency food assistance network to meet their most basic needs, than ever before.

In partnership with the Columbus Foundati on, OASHF introduced the Ohio Benefi t Bank Mobile Express; a fully equipped Sprinter Van, taking the screening process and applicati on assistance across Ohio and making public benefi ts accessible to everyone. At the ribbon cutti ng ceremony, Douglas F. Kridler, President and CEO of The Columbus Foundati on, stated “This is a great example of our community’s concern for others, a defi ning att ribute of Columbus, Ohio.” In its fi rst few months, the OBB Mobile Express att ended 74 events and reached more than 1,700 Ohioans.

The Ohio Associati on of Second Harvest Foodbanks conti nues to expand programming and partnerships that help Ohioans meet their most basic needs in these devastati ng economic ti mes. In SFY 09, new partnerships were formed with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitati on and Correcti ons; Hunters and Farmers Feeding the Hungry; AARP Ohio; and the Ohio Department of Aging Senior Community and Employment Program.

OHIO AGRICULTURAL CLEARANCE PROGRAMOHIO AGRICULTURAL CLEARANCE PROGRAM

The success of the Ohio Agricultural Clearance Program (OACP) can be measured by its ability to leverage public-private partnerships for maximum impact. Formed 11 years ago, OACP links the Ohio General Assembly, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, the Ohio Associati on of Second Harvest Foodbanks, member foodbanks, the agricultural community, and Ohio growers and processors.

The program is nati onally recognized for its accomplishments and serves multi ple purposes:

• Provides fresh and nutriti ous Ohio-grown produce and processed food to clients.

• Enhances the capabiliti es and operati ons of the emergency food assistance network to feed hungry individuals.

• Prevents waste and assists farmers, growers, and commodity producers in recovering their producti on costs for surplus and/or unmarketable agricultural products.

The food provided through OACP is a criti cal component of the network’s ability to serve families and individuals living at 200% below the Federal Poverty Level, including low to medium-income seniors, adults, and children. The type of produce off ered and quanti ti es available through this program vary from year to year, primarily due to weather.

The program offi cially began in State Fiscal Year 2000 with a $760,000 allocati on from the Ohio General Assembly. Since incepti on in the State Fiscal Budget, over 109 million pounds of food, representi ng more than 85 million meals, has been distributed to hungry Ohioans.

Total Pounds Purchased 20,267,744 Meals Provided 15,834,175 Average Cost per Pound $0.2166

Total Food Cost $4,447,264 Storage & Distributi on $440,000 Transportati on $31,903 Total Program Cost $4,919,167

During State Fiscal Year 2009, the $4.9 million provided by the Ohio General Assembly allowed the OASHF to purchase and distribute more than 20 million pounds of over 45 diff erent fresh and processed fruits and vegetables, from over 150 of our Ohio partners in the farming community. This equals 15.8 million meals at an average cost of $.2166 per pound to families across Ohio.

OFPACP Outreach and EducationOFPACP Outreach and EducationOFPACP Outreach and Education


OASHF promotes the Ohio Agricultural Clearance Program (OACP) in a number of ways through outreach, educati on, and parti cipati ng in Agricultural/Trade events, such as the Ohio Produce Growers and Marketi ng Associati on’s Annual Event. Being seen at these events and meeti ng new vendors is vital to the viability of this program. OASHF publicati ons are distributed and the OACP is discussed with potenti al partners. The Ohio Food Purchase Agricultural Cleatrance Program Manual, which is an overview of the core food programs, and other educati onal materials are distributed.

Farm tours are given throughout the year for Member Foodbank and OASHF staff , where growing, picking, and packing methods are discussed, as well as the safe handling of items moving through the system. Informati on on the nutriti onal value of food and preparati on of these items is off ered through OACP and is made available at the pantry level.

New partnerships were formed in SFY 09 as a result of outreach and educati on. They are: The Lions Club of Amanda, Ohio and the Ohio Department of Rehabilitati on and Correcti ons (highlighted on the next page).

OASHF is visited by other states, who want to learn more about the Ohio Agricultural Clearance Program, with hopes of replicati ng it in their state. With OASHF’s help, God’s Pantry, located in Kentucky, is now purchasing produce from local farmer’s produce aucti ons to feed Kentucky residents who are in need of help.

OHIO FOOD PURCHASE PROGRAMOHIO FOOD PURCHASE PROGRAMDuring State Fiscal Year 2009, the $3.1 million provided by the Ohio General Assembly allowed the OFP to purchase and distribute over 4 million pounds of 40 diff erent shelf stable, frozen and protein items, from 12 local and nati onal partners, equalling over 3 million meals at an average cost of $.6828 per pound to families and individuals across Ohio.The Ohio Food Purchase Program (OFP) makes nutriti ous shelf stable, frozen foods, and protein items available to foodbanks to complement products acquired through The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), donati ons, and Ohio's Second Harvest Foodbank network’s local purchase programs. In State Fiscal Year 2009, the $3.1 million provided by the Ohio General Assembly allowed the OFP to purchase and distribute over 4 million pounds of shelf-stable food throughout Ohio's 88 counti es. The food provided by OFP alone, represents the equivalent of more than 3.3 million meals to hungry Ohioans.

The program began in State Fiscal Year 1998/1999 with a $1.5 million allocati on from the Ohio General Assembly. Since incepti on more than 51 million pounds of food, representi ng over 40 million meals, has been distributed to millions of hungry Ohioans.

The Ohio Department of Rehabilitati on and Correcti ons (ODRC) recently launched a new community service project that will allow ODRC inmates to grow fresh fruits and vegetables for hungry Ohioans.

Through ODRC’s community service program, inmates raised and harvested crops, including sweet corn, watermelons, squash, cantaloupe, cucumbers, winter wheat and soybeans on the Department’s farmland at faciliti es across the state. The food then was donated to OASHF’s 12 member foodbanks and emergency food assistance providers.

“This fi rst-of-its-kind eff ort provided an additi onal source of desperately needed fresh produce for hungry Ohioans,” said Lisa Hamler-Fugitt , Executi ve Director of the Associati on. “As the recession deepens and unemployment rates rise, OASHF is very thankful for this new partnership and support.” Hamler-Fugitt said that demand for emergency food assistance has increased by more than 30 percent since last quarter, while the cost of food has increased by more than 26 percent in the last two years.

“Having fresh, nutriti ous food on the table is something all Ohio families should enjoy,” said Terry Collins, ODRC director. “ODRC is honored to work with Ohio’s foodbank network to provide wholesome fruits and vegetables, while allowing our inmates to give back to our local communiti es.”

OASHF supplied ODRC with seed, ferti lizers, chemicals, insecti cide, boxes and fuel that was used to plant, harvest and package the crops for distributi on. ODRC provided inmate labor, use of approximately 100 acres of farmland and needed equipment. Proceeds from the growth and sale of winter wheat will help fi nance next year’s crops.

In March 2009, a group of farmers, processors and foodbank representatives

came to Columbus to discuss the effectiveness of the Ohio Food Purchase

Agricultural Clearance Program with members of the Ohio General Assembly.

To those individuals, and those who made their voices heard across our great state

via “paper plates,” phone calls, and letters, the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Foodbanks would like to thank you for

your continued support.

The rising cost of food continues to be one of the

biggest concerns of the Ohio Food Purchase Agricultural

Clearance Program. With an average increase of 25 percent over the past five

years, OASHF’s purchasing power has declined; yet, the demand for food has

increased as much as 107% in the last five years, as

experienced by the Second Harvest Foodbank of Southeastern Ohio.

ASSOCIATION OF SECOND HARVEST FOODBANKS 14

Wal-Mart Foundation Donates $300,000 to Ohio’s Foodbank NetworkWal-Mart Foundation Donates $300,000 to Ohio’s Foodbank NetworkIn December 2008, the Wal-Mart Foundati on awarded a $300,000 grant to the Ohio Associati on of Second Harvest Foodbanks (OASHF). The contributi on was announced during an event held at the Mid-Ohio FoodBank with Ohio Governor Ted Strickland and Jason Wetzel, representi ng Wal-Mart Stores. As part of Wal-Mart’s new State Giving initi ati ve, this donati on allowed the state’s foodbanks to obtain nearly 260,000 pounds of food that was distributed in all 88 Ohio counti es.

“The contributi on from Wal-Mart is a true example of the essenti al role that corporate partners have in supporti ng the non-profi t community,” said Ohio Governor Ted Strickland. “By infusing the state’s foodbank network with such a large contributi on, Ohioans who are having a hard ti me making ends meet can get much needed help. The donati on will boost the buying power of state funds used to purchase nutriti ous Ohio agricultural products and shelf-stable foods.”

“While hunger is a year-round problem, we recognize that right now our local communiti es are facing greater hunger needs than ever before, with more families seeking assistance from their local foodbanks,” said Jason Wetzel of Wal-Mart. “Our partnership with Ohio’s foodbanks refl ects our corporate commitment to doing more to help the organizati ons that help Ohioans in need.”

“Without a doubt, this donati on comes at a ti me when our network of hunger relief is under enormous strain,” said Lisa Hamler-Fugitt , OASHF Executi ve Director. “Wal-Mart’s response to what we are facing – long lines throughout our network, job losses and rising costs for essenti als like food and uti liti es – will help address our current food shortage and enable us to meet the basic needs of many vulnerable Ohioans. While the contributi on is a signifi cant response to increasing demand, the long lines at distributi on sites and growing need for emergency food illustrates that much more must sti ll be done.”

Ohio foodbanks are facing unprecedented demand. OASHF‘s network of providers served more than 1.6 million Ohioans between July 1 and September 30, 2008 (duplicated counts). Of those clients served, more than 213,000 are seniors, and nearly 618,000 are children. Many are employed but cannot make ends meet; one out of three households have at least one adult who is working.

“Hunger is a complex problem and requires a collecti ve approach to solve it – corporate partners are invaluable to that eff ort – parti cularly during the economic crisis that has led to unprecedented demand for emergency food,” said Matt Habash, Executi ve Director, Mid-Ohio Foodbank. “We thank Wal-Mart for their leadership in joining the fi ght against hunger, especially as too many Ohioans struggle to put food on the table this holiday season.”

The $300,000 was made possible by the Wal-Mart Foundati on’s new State Giving Program (SGP), which awards grants at the state and regional levels to support unmet needs. To help facilitate this process, the Foundati on created individual State Giving Advisory Councils made up of associates who represent a wide-range of internal business units.

The Ohio Associati on of Second Harvest Foodbanks is grateful to the Wal-Mart Foundati on for their generosity.

More than 33,550 Pounds of Venison Donated More than 33,550 Pounds of Venison Donated Ohio deer hunters have donated more than 33,550 pounds of venison to local foodbanks during the 2009 deer season, according to Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife.

The 33,550 pounds equals approximately 134,000 meals for needy Ohioans. Last year, FHFH collected 20,902 pounds of venison throughout the enti re year. With 17 of the 27 FHFH chapters reporti ng, 671 deer have been donated, with more deer hunti ng opportunity left in the 2009 season.

“The confl uence of economic events over the past year have stressed the ability of chariti es to keep up, as more people in crisis turn to our network for help. This partnership means our food pantries will receive the nutriti ous meat they so desperately need to feed their needy neighbors,” said Lisa Hamler-Fugitt , Executi ve Director of the Ohio Associati on of Second Harvest Foodbanks.

Hunters have a weekend of deer-gun hunti ng, six weeks of archery season, and a month to hunt with a muzzle loader.

The Division of Wildlife has collaborated with Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry in an eff ort to assist with the processing costs associated with donati ng venison to a foodbank. A $100,000 subsidy grant was provided in two $50,000 allotments that is matched with funds generated or collected by OASHF and FHFH. The ODNR Division of Wildlife is subsidizing this year’s FHFH operati on as an additi onal deer management tool.

Venison that is donated to foodbanks must be processed by a state inspected and insured meat processor that is parti cipati ng with FHFH. Hunters wishing to donate their deer to a foodbank are not required to pay for the processing of the venison as long as the program has funds available to cover the cost. There are currently 43 meat processors across the state parti cipati ng. A list is provided at www.fh fh .org.

Owens Corning Masonry Products Donation Owens Corning Masonry Products Donation

In coordinati on with Rich Eschelman, Eschelman’s Orchards, Andy Morelli, Owens Corning Masonry Products, the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank and the Ohio Associati on of Second Harvest Foodbanks, Owens Corning Masonry Products donated over 450 pallets of cardboard boxes to Ohio’s foodbanks. Many ti mes the “simplest” of items like boxes to distribute food in can make the biggest diff erence at a foodbank. This donati on helped save Ohio’s foodbank’s collecti vely more than $250,000.

The Ohio Associati on of Second Harvest Foodbanks thanks Owens/Corning for their generous support in the fi ght against hunger.

Ohio Farm Bureau Federation Partners with Cabbage Growers to Provide Hunger Relief Ohio Farm Bureau Federation Partners with Cabbage Growers to Provide Hunger Relief

The Ohio Farm Bureau Federati on (OFBF) completed a major volunteer donati on eff ort on Friday, November 14, 2008 that provides relief to hungry Ohioans through 12 foodbanks throughout the state. The event was part of OFBF’s new “Farmers Feed our Needs” campaign, which will provide Ohioans safe, abundant and healthy food through year-long initi ati ves.

OFBF and Ohio’s cabbage growers are fi lling the tables of many local families at a ti me when Ohio foodbanks are facing unprecedented demand. More than 110,000 pounds of fresh cabbage, valued at more than $14,000, were donated by area growers to The Ohio Associati on of Second Harvest Foodbanks’ (OASHF) 12 member foodbanks.

“This gift from the Farm Bureau and Ohio’s cabbage farmers is an extraordinary opportunity for our foodbanks and pantries to make a diff erence, when several of our clients are struggling to keep food on their tables,” said Lisa Hamler-Fugitt , OASHF Executi ve Director. “The availability of high-quality, nutriti ous meals now – or at any ti me of year – is criti cally important for families in our community.”

“Having food on the table should be an expectati on, not a luxury, for Ohio’s families,” said Jack Fisher, OFBF Executi ve Vice President. “Our farmers are honored and humbled to help some Ohioans in need make that a reality.” Fisher said the donati on is part of OFBF’s new campaign, “Farmers Feed Our Needs” to provide Ohioans safe, abundant and healthy food through year-long initi ati ves.

The Ohio Benefi t Bank (OBB) is a public–private partnership with the Governor’s Offi ce of Faith-Based and Community Initi ati ves, Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, Ohio Department of Development, Ohio Department of Aging, Ohio Department of Mental Health, the Ohio Department of Correcti on and Rehabilitati on, The Columbus Foundati on, the George Gund Foundati on, the Ohio Department of Educati on and more than 1,000 community and faith based organizati ons.

This web-enabled soft ware program simplifi es the applicati on process for work support programs such as:

• Electronic Filing of Federal and State Taxes • Ohio’s Best Rx and Golden Buckeye

• School Meals • Health Coverage through Medicaid

• Child Care Assistance • Cash Assistance

• Senior Community Service Employment Program • Extra Help with Medicare Expenses

• Free Applicati on for Federal Student Aid • Supplemental Nutriti on Assistance Program (SNAP) (formerly known as the Food Stamp Program)

The Ohio Benefi t Bank is being deployed across Ohio to help families and communiti es stabilize themselves and move towards self-suffi ciency. The Ohio Associati on of Second Harvest Foodbanks serves as the lead agency for The Ohio Benefi t Bank and its partners are strategically establishing the program statewide through a network of AmeriCorps*VISTA Members placed at each Foodbank as an Ohio Benefi t Bank trainer and organizer. In 2009 The Ohio Benefi t Bank established 436 Ohio Benefi t Bank sites and trained 2,666 new counselors ready to serve Ohioans. These trained counselors served more than 27,569 households and ulti mately returned up to $106,807,515 to Ohioans in need and our local communiti es. Since incepti on in 2006, as of the end of State Fiscal Year 2009, The Ohio Benefi t Bank helped Ohioans access potenti ally $131,843,831.

Additi onally, in State Fiscal Year 2009, in partnership with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, the resource test for the Food Assistance Program was eliminated and Ohioans were provided their fi rst opportunity to sign and submit their applicati ons electronically for Food Assistance and Medicaid programs using The Ohio Benefi t Bank. We truly thank the Department of Job and Family Services for this monumental achievement.

State Fiscal Year 2009 also marked the implementati on of the fi rst statewide Ohio Food Assistance Outreach Plan. This plan provides a reimbursement from the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutriti on Service for outreach acti viti es conducted around the Food Assistance Program. OASHF currently is partnering with six foodbanks to do outreach with nine food assistance outreach counselors. These nine counselors have come into contact with and adverti sed to 75,466 Ohioans and educated 21,790 Ohioans about the Food Assistance Program.

In partnership with the Ohio University Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Aff airs, The Columbus Foundati on, and the Governor’s Offi ce of Faith-Based and Community Initi ati ves, an assessment of the economic impact of The Ohio Benefi t Bank was conducted. Full results of the assessment can be found at www.oashf.org. The assessment found that The Ohio Benefi t Bank:

• Stabilizes Ohio families;

• Brings economic resources into the State of Ohio;

• Builds strong public/private partnerships; and;

• Promotes the modernizati on of Ohio’s social service delivery system.

• Between January 1, 2008 and October 31, 2008, The Ohio Benefi t Bank potenti ally saved or created 453 jobs.

COLUMBUS FOUNDATION SPECIAL RECOGNIT IONCOLUMBUS FOUNDATION SPECIAL RECOGNIT ION

The OBB Express was unveiled at the Ohio Statehouse during a ribbon-cutti ng event on April 22, 2009. The OBB Express was funded by the Columbus Foundati on and built by Farber Speciality Vehicles of Reynoldsburg. The new mobile unit allows counselors to set up a Benefi t Bank site anywhere in Ohio, helping Ohioans access free income tax service and work supports.

“In Ohio, many working families and individuals struggling to make ends meet are not aware that they may be eligible for work support and public benefi ts,” said Lisa Hamler-Fugitt , executi ve director for the Ohio Associati on of Second Harvest Foodbanks, the OBB lead agency. “In fact, each year, more than $1.6 billion in tax credits and other work supports go unclaimed by eligible Ohioans who do not apply, and more than 95 percent of those credits are federal dollars.” Hamler-Fugitt said the OBB Express will make it even easier for needy Ohioans that do not have access to transportati on to qualify for help in their local communiti es.

Among the van’s key features are:

• Two fi xed work stati ons with monitors and laptops;

• Eight removable work stati ons including wireless laptops, two wireless printers, tables and chairs;

• Roll-out awning and pavilion tent for outdoor events; and

• Roof-mounted satellite for Internet access virtually anywhere in the state.

“The Ohio Benefi t Bank is a criti cal tool in the fi ght against poverty in our state,” said Governor Ted Strickland. “The program helps restore stability for our low- and moderate-income working families, and it helps the state to make bett er use of available federal funds while acti ng as an economic sti mulus to boost Ohio’s economy. I commend the staff of the Ohio Benefi t Bank and The Columbus Foundati on for their ti me and commitment to this successful collaborati on.”

“With so many families struggling to pay their bills and put food on the table in today’s economic environment, we want to do our part to strengthen the infrastructure of our local communiti es,” said Doug Kridler, President and CEO of The Columbus Foundati on. “Our partnership with the Ohio Benefi t Bank and the state’s foodbank network refl ects our commitment to doing more to help organizations that help Ohioans in need.”

The Ohio Benefi t Bank Mobile Express and two expert Benefi t Bank Counselors provide friendly experti se and convenient access to benefi ts for people in need across the state where they live, work, play and pray. Powered by The Columbus Foundati on, the fully equipped Sprinter van has been on the road since March 2009. Between March and June of 2009 they att ended 74 outreach and enrollment events and reached over 1,700 individuals about the work support programs and tax credits that may be available to them. The OBB Counselors have created a lively blog detailing their experiences: htt p://obbmobileexpress.blogspot.com/, and their insights into poverty, the eff ects of great need and sti gma, along with the sights, smells (and tastes) of an Ohio spring and summer are well worth following.

• AmeriCorps*VISTA is a one year Nati onal Service program that engages members in a variety of indirect service opportuniti es meant to increase the capacity and sustainability of their assignment sites, normally non-profi t organizati ons. OASHF has sponsored a statewide AmeriCorps*VISTA project since 2006 with the primary focus on expanding the OBB network. Most of the OASHF VISTA members are OBB Community Trainers, increasing the capacity of nonprofi ts across the state to serve their clients more holisti cally. The OASHF AmeriCorps*VISTA project has been widely recognized as a model project and was included in the Corporati on for Nati onal and Community Service’s (CNCS) Congressional Budget Justi fi cati on. Since 2006 the OASHF AmeriCorps*VISTA project has expanded from six members to seventy-fi ve, becoming the largest VISTA project in the eight-state CNCS region.

• AmeriCorps*VISTA Summer Associates is a six to eight week service opportunity that engages mainly college students in a summer of service. Unlike standard VISTA members, Summer Associates can be engaged in direct service. OASHF sponsored its fi rst project in 2008, placing twenty-fi ve members at OBB sites across the state. In SFY 09, OASHF placed fi ft y-fi ve summer members at twelve Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) sponsors to increase the capacity to feed low-income children during the school break. These fi ft y-fi ve short-term members brought an additi onal 4,000 parti cipants into the program and served over 100,000 meals during the six week project. Many SFSP sponsors reported that without the Summer Associates they would not have been able to operate their programs.

• AmeriCorps*State is a one year Nati onal Service initi ati ve that engages people of all ages in direct service opportuniti es such as tutoring, mentoring, community clean up, etc. OASHF was awarded its fi rst AmeriCorps*State sponsorship grant in June, 2009 for thirty members. Twenty of these members will be sub-granted to OBB sites where the members will act as full-ti me OBB counselors. The remaining ten members will be assigned to Foodbanks for general anti -hunger work. One slot has also been sub-granted to FIRSTLINK to work on the 211 Food Line.

• AmeriCorps*NCCC (Nati onal Civilian Community Corps) is a one year residenti al Nati onal Service opportunity for 18 – 24 year olds. Members travel the country in teams of ten to twelve members working on short-term projects such as disaster relief (economic and natural). OASHF sponsored its fi rst NCCC team in SFY 09, assigning ten members in teams of two to the fi ve Franklin County Job and Family Services offi ces off ering free tax assistance to clients at the CDJFS offi ces. Together the team assisted 360 clients to complete tax returns totaling nearly $605,000.
