A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Every so often we receive a phone call, an email, or a note scribbled on the back of a cheque from someone detailing a past experience of

receiving food from the Ottawa Food Bank. One such experience involved me personally during the Christmas holidays. After a concert held to raise funds for the Ottawa Food Bank, an older gentleman approached me as I made my way to the door. I had been asked to speak to those attending the concert about the food bank and he had watched me return to my seat. He recounted a story of when he was a child and his family needed a food bank – an experience that he said not only provided them food, but also hope for the future. Hope that he remembers to this day. His handshake disguised a $50 bill, a donation he said, to help someone else like him.

We talk a lot – admittedly, maybe too much – about the number of people our organization helps every month. While the number, approximately 50,000 every month, is important to demonstrate the scale of the need in our community, I want to take a few moments to talk about who you are helping. The people we help are people like you. Yes, people like you. People who have families and homes and cars and jobs and bills, but then something unexpected happens.

You lose a job, and unemployment benefits run out, and you still can’t find work. At first your savings keep you afloat, but they too run out. You begin to buy groceries with your credit card, but that too will only work for so long.

You are diagnosed with cancer. Your benefits cover you for a while, but your treatment is lengthy. Your fight with the disease continues, you are simply too sick to work and there is no money coming in.

You fight to finally escape the violence of civil war and make it to the shores of Canada. You’re finally safe in your new home, but finding work is difficult. You have an apartment but the rent takes up 65% of your income every month leaving little money for anything else.

Our goal is to move people beyond hunger, taking care of them when they need it, while giving them hope for a better future. That’s where you come in. Because of your generous support, the Ottawa Food Bank is there, ready to help, ready to provide food to families and individuals, no matter the cause of their need.

The report that follows will tell you more about how your gift of food or money to the Ottawa Food Bank was used to help families pay their rent and heat their homes without going hungry. It illustrates how the hours you spent volunteering helped a child eat breakfast and how your donation allowed us to provide food to a senior living alone on a fixed income.

The Ottawa Food Bank continued its focus on enhancing the food we make available to people in need, making strategic investments in our Community Harvest farm project which yielded over 100,000 pounds of locally grown fruits and vegetables. We launched a new program called reFRESH last calendar year, which will provide fresh fruits and vegetables to families during the winter, a first in our 31-year history. We were also able to continue to leverage your donations and our buying power, turning each dollar donated into $5 worth of food.

On behalf of the Ottawa Food Bank and those we serve, thank you for your generous support in 2015.

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD

In a perfect world, everyone able to work would earn a living wage; everyone hungry for a meal, could provide for herself or her family. But this is not a perfect world. We are remarkably blessed to be in Canada, but those blessings are not enjoyed by every Canadian. Many cannot make ends meet.

By helping put food on the table, the Ottawa Food Bank and its member agencies enable people to pay their utility bills and to provide for their children. Families can sit down together over a meal. Young people can stay in school, seniors can face the day with less worry or anxiety. A small amount of help provides a great gift of hope.

Part of the Ottawa Food Bank’s mission is to make life better for those in need. As Chair of the Board, I congratulate the Ottawa Food Bank team for their efforts and their results. To them and to our member agencies, and to our thousands of donors and volunteers, all of whom play a vital part in the cause, I say simply this: thank you.

The Ottawa Food Bank is the central food collection, storage, and distribution centre for a network of approximate 140 emergency food programs throughout Ottawa. These programs, our member agencies, include community food banks, food cupboards, meal programs, multi-service programs, and school breakfast and snack programs. Based on each agency’s need, we fairly distribute

donated and purchased food as efficiently as possible. Our member agencies adhere to guidelines including the fair, respectful, and confidential treatment of beneficiaries, and high standards of food handling and distribution.

KICKSTART SCHOOL BREAKFAST, SUMMER CAMP, AND AFTER 4 SNACK PROGRAM provides nutritious, daily meals and snacks for school-aged children from low income families, allowing them to focus on education and play without the distraction, lessened energy, and health impacts related to dealing with hunger. Through our member agency school meal programs and after school clubs, KickStart provides delivery of nutritious food items to children who may come to school or go home hungry. KickStart also supplies lunches to day camps throughout the summer when school meal programs are unavailable. Close to 50% of food delivered to program participants is fresh and includes nutritious items such as eggs, milk, cheese, juice, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. KickStart has grown significantly since its launch in 2007 and last year supported over 5,000 children in 49 high needs schools and camp programs; serving 341,500 breakfasts, 102,400 snacks, and 13,534 summer camp lunches.

BABY BASICS PROGRAM provides our front-line member agencies with essential, costly infant care items including baby food, cereal, formula, and diapers. The program targets the community’s most vulnerable population – infants whose parents lack the resources to adequately provide for them on a daily basis. Not only does Baby Basics relieve the burden on parents who may have to sacrifice their own nutritional requirements to meet their families’ needs, it also ensures that proper nutrition is consistently provided for the healthy development of infants. Last year over $102,902 worth of baby supplies were purchased. Purchases combined with donations enabled the Ottawa Food Bank to distribute 624 cases of baby food, 2,824 cases of diapers, 1,897 cases of formula, and 1063 cases of baby cereal to caregivers in need.

CHICKEN DONATION PROGRAM Since 2010, the Ottawa Food Bank has been the grateful recipient of over 10,136 cases of top quality chicken donated from the Chicken Farmers of Canada. Last year, thanks to this amazing partnership, the Ottawa Food Bank was able to distribute 1,358 cases of chicken that greatly benefited member agencies and the families and individuals they support.

FOOD AID is a vital community initiative that benefits local families and individuals in need by supplying them with a much needed source of dietary protein – ground beef (including halal). Protein shouldn’t have to be a choice – it should simply be part of everyone’s healthy diet. The Ottawa Food Bank’s Food Aid program makes that possible. With Food Aid, we raise money to buy cows from the local farming community that we process locally, freeze, and distribute to front line member agencies. Last year, with community support, the annual Food

Aid BBQ and radio broadcast raised over $132,000. Since its inception in 2005, Food Aid has purchased 1,821 cows, had 206 cows donated by individual beef farmers, and distributed over 1,167,522 lbs of protein rich ground beef.

FRESH HARVEST AND CITY HARVEST are the Ottawa Food Bank’s city-wide perishable food recovery programs. The Ottawa Food Bank’s Fresh Harvest truck stops at local grocery stores and picks up donations of fresh meat, produce, bakery, and deli goods. The food is then delivered the same day to a front line partner, typically a meal program or emergency housing shelter. The City Harvest program focuses on picking up prepared meals and food items from local restaurants, retirement homes, and food service providers. These items are also delivered the same day to a meal program. Both programs are excellent ways we obtain fresh, nutritious food with the help of our community partners, while reducing food waste in our city. This past year, a combined total of 656,390 lbs of food and prepared meals were collected and distributed.

COMMUNITY HARVEST provides fresh local produce to our neighbours in need across the city of Ottawa. Last year approximately 700 volunteers provided over 2,700 hours of farm labour at our seven acre growing project near Stittsville, ON. These dedicated volunteers, along with farm partner Tom Black who donated the farmland, helped to grow and harvest over 101,700 pounds of produce (potatoes, zucchini, squash, carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, cucumbers, beets, peppers, broccoli, onions, kale, eggplants, as well as cantaloupes). With the addition of donations from other local farms and discounted purchases from partners, the program brought in a record breaking 176,500 pounds of fresh produce last year destined for families and individuals in need.

The Ottawa Food Bank fights hunger by collecting millions of pounds of food each year which is distributed to 140 emergency food programs throughout the city. This food is generously donated by the public and food industry partners through community food drives, events, and the Red Cage Program which collects food donations at

local grocery stores. Financial donations allow the Ottawa Food Bank to make up for any shortfall in food donations as well as purchase nutritious perishable food such as eggs, yogurt, fresh fruits, and vegetables.

For the 2014 – 2015 fiscal year, the Ottawa Food Bank was responsible for helping to provide

food for upwards of 50,000 people per month, 37% of whom were children. The organization responded to this need by distributing $7,509,618 worth of donated food and $1,246,221 of purchased food. The items provided to people in need were broken down in distribution as laid out below.

FOOD DISTRIBUTION: FISCAL YEAR 2014-2015

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONDENSED): FISCAL YEAR 2014-2015

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the fiscal year 2014-2015 was a successful year for the Ottawa Food Bank in terms of revenue. Cash donations were up 9% compared to the previous year and food

donations worth $7,508,618 were distributed to our member agency food programs. The total food purchases combined with the value of distributed donated food was $8,755,839 or 71% of total revenue. Salary expenses and fundraising expenses represented respectively 10% and 6% of total revenue.

We are very grateful for the support generously provided by the community in time, food, and monetary donations. We wouldn’t be able to accomplish our mission without this support. We are looking forward to continuing engagement with community supporters and partners to better serve those in need in our community.
