Dear <strong>Second</strong> <strong>Harvest</strong> Community,<br />
We would like to thank you for an unprecedented level of<br />
participation and support this year when we needed you<br />
more than ever.<br />
It has been a challenging year. The United States is<br />
weathering the largest unemployment surge in 20 years<br />
and we have experienced the biggest jump in the cost of<br />
food in 18 years. As a result, we have seen a nearly 28%<br />
increase in the number of people needing food and the<br />
gap between need and resources is growing.<br />
Despite the tough economic times, we have had a<br />
remarkable year and an overall increase in community<br />
support. Most notably, we have expanded the <strong>Food</strong><br />
For Children program from 27 to 41 sites. With this<br />
increased outreach we have been able to deliver more food<br />
to underserved areas and groups.<br />
Our community really came together to raise over $4.3<br />
million for the facility expansion campaign and new<br />
produce cooler, which will be operational this summer.<br />
The cooler will give us the space we need to store and<br />
distribute more fresh fruits and vegetables to needy families,<br />
while the expanded and more efficient distribution<br />
center will give us more space to store and distribute basic<br />
staples. New truck docks and storage racks will double<br />
our efficiency and help us move the food more quickly to<br />
those in need.<br />
With the new cooler, <strong>Second</strong> <strong>Harvest</strong> has been able to<br />
create our newest program, “Passion For Produce,” to<br />
deliver beautiful bags of fresh produce and nutrition<br />
education to low-income county residents on a weekly<br />
basis. These sites will include food pantries, migrant<br />
education programs, and local health clinics.<br />
As we look forward to <strong>2008</strong>-2009, we face increased<br />
opportunities and challenges, but with your continued<br />
partnership and participation, we will be able to continue<br />
our commitment to provide excellence in programs and<br />
food distribution. Thanks to your ongoing support and<br />
participation, we will 1) continue to improve <strong>Second</strong><br />
<strong>Harvest</strong> infrastructure for improved food quality and<br />
distribution, 2) expand our <strong>Food</strong> For Children program<br />
and further develop the Passion For Produce program to<br />
address the growth in demand for food, and 3) continue<br />
to deepen our partnership with our many friends in the<br />
community to strengthen food bank services.<br />
Our challenge is clear, and together with your help and<br />
that of our energetic Board, staff, and volunteers, we will<br />
continue to build the momentum to end hunger and<br />
malnutrition in our community.<br />

CHEF'S DINNER<br />
The 7th <strong>Annual</strong> Santa Cruz Chefs’<br />
Dinner, held on Thursday, September<br />

THE big event of the Santa Cruz<br />
culinary season. The Chefs’ Dinner<br />
was a unique opportunity to enjoy a<br />
remarkable dining experience while<br />
supporting <strong>Second</strong> <strong>Harvest</strong> in the<br />
fight against hunger.<br />

Californians.<br />

cu. ft. fresh produce cooler.<br />
PASSION FOR PRODUCE<br />
ADVOCATES MARCH AGAINST<br />
HUNGER IN SACRAMENTO<br />
On Wednesday, May 7, <strong>2008</strong>, over 300<br />
statewide anti-hunger advocates met with<br />
their elected officials in Sacramento to ensure<br />
that all residents have access to affordable,<br />
healthy foods. Organized by California<br />
Hunger Action Coalition (CHAC), the<br />
Central Coast was represented by over 50<br />
anti-hunger advocates. Volunteers and clients<br />
asked elected officials to support a number<br />
of bills to strengthen food security to the<br />
neediest Californians.<br />
Y E A R I N R E V I E W<br />
<strong>Second</strong> <strong>Harvest</strong> initiated the<br />

O U R P R O G R A M S<br />
Without the aid of our extensive <strong>Second</strong> <strong>Harvest</strong> family of supporters, we simply could not feed the 47,000 people per month<br />
who depend on us for food. On the following pages, meet some of the people, partners, and organizations who helped us collect,<br />
organize, and distribute the more than 6.5 million pounds of food we placed in the hands of hungry families last year.<br />
Key to reducing childhood<br />
hunger in our community<br />
is <strong>Second</strong> <strong>Harvest</strong>’s <strong>Food</strong><br />
For Children program.<br />
Operating in 41 schools<br />
and low-income apartment<br />
complexes throughout Santa<br />
Cruz County, the goal is to<br />
provide fresh food and staples<br />
directly to families in need,<br />
at convenient locations, so<br />
that they do not need to miss<br />
work in order to get food to<br />
nourish their children.<br />
FOOD FOR CHILDREN<br />
EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE<br />
<strong>Second</strong> <strong>Harvest</strong><br />
supplies six USDA<br />
commodity distribution<br />
centers in<br />
Davenport, Live Oak,<br />
San Lorenzo Valley,<br />
Santa Cruz, and<br />
Watsonville. These<br />
centers provide lifeline foods like grains, protein, and<br />
produce to income-qualifying families in each area.<br />
OUTREACH, EDUCATION & HOTLINE<br />
<strong>Second</strong> <strong>Harvest</strong> staff provides cooking demonstrations<br />
and nutrition education to local schools and to<br />
the community at large to promote healthy eating<br />
and lifestyles. The Outreach Team gives informative,<br />
interactive presentations on food stamps, nutrition<br />
and physical activity, as well as other resources to<br />
low-income clients at highest risk for diabetes,<br />
obesity, and<br />
malnutrition.<br />
Our Community<br />
<strong>Food</strong> Hotline fields<br />
over 40 calls a<br />
day, and up to<br />
1,200 per month,<br />
referring families<br />
to local pantries<br />
for food and other<br />
services. <strong>Second</strong><br />
<strong>Harvest</strong> provides<br />
outreach and<br />
advocacy to local and state officials on the problems<br />
of hunger and malnutrition in our community.<br />
PARTNERS IN NEED<br />
The Partners in<br />
Need program<br />
allows low-income<br />
individuals<br />
to volunteer their<br />
time at <strong>Second</strong><br />
<strong>Harvest</strong> and<br />
receive a box of<br />
food each week<br />
for their families.<br />
This program respects the dignity and work-ethic<br />
of these volunteers, and their help aids <strong>Second</strong><br />
<strong>Harvest</strong> in involving everyone in the community<br />
to work to end hunger.<br />
AGENCY FOOD DISTRIBUTION<br />
AGENCY DELIVERY<br />
<strong>Second</strong> <strong>Harvest</strong> is a<br />
central distribution hub<br />
for healthy, affordable<br />
fresh produce and<br />
staples for 180 agencies<br />
and programs in our<br />
community, distributing<br />
more than 6.5<br />
million pounds of food<br />
per year. These agencies<br />
and programs, in turn,<br />
provide much-needed<br />
services in our community,<br />
such as supporting<br />
the elderly, providing<br />
after-school programs<br />
for kids, and operating<br />
soup kitchens,<br />
homeless shelters and<br />
recovery centers.<br />
The Agency Delivery<br />
program brings fresh<br />
food and staples<br />
directly to member<br />
agencies’ doors, saving<br />
them time and money.<br />
Agencies order the<br />
type and quantity of<br />
food needed through<br />
the internet, then<br />
we bring the food to them. This program helps us move more<br />
perishable fresh fruits and vegetables from our warehouse to the<br />
agencies and clients who need them the most.<br />

TOGETHER WE ARE BUILDING A WELL-NOURISHED COMMUNITY<br />
We did it! Through the efforts of many people and the donations of even more, we raised over $4.3 million for our expansion<br />
project. Thank you to all who made this happen!<br />
This past year we completed Phase One of our construction, expanding our warehouse by 18,000 sq. ft., installing a 21,600<br />
cu.ft. freezer, adding three distribution docks and space for a 30,000 sq. ft. cooler. This next year we will complete renovation<br />
of the warehouse with pallet racking, install our produce cooler, create a new agency distribution area, and add an office<br />
complex and volunteer space.<br />
As a separate, but related project, we also installed solar panels made possible by Jim Hayes and Friends. The solar panels<br />
provide the extra power needed for the new freezer and cooler.<br />
