Second Harvest Heartland: Worthy Steward of Your Donations The largest ever capital donation came to Second Harvest Heartland this year from the charitable Frey Foundation. This donation enabled SHH to purchase one semi tractor, one straight refrigerated truck, a trailer and logo identifi cation for the vehicles. The shiny, new vehicles arrived with “zeros” on the odometers, replacing expensive leased and highmileage vehicles that were constantly breaking down. Six generous donors made the expansion of the cooler/freezer capacity at the Maplewood location possible. The 7,200 square-foot addition allows freezer space for an additional 483 pallets, a 265% increase, and an additional 194 pallets in the cooler, an increase of 162%. Again, savings were recognized immediately with the release of costly rental off-site freezer space. The expansion will move SHH closer to reaching our goal of a 20 percent increase in the distribution of nutritious frozen foods and enhancing the selection of products for our member agencies. These investments and countless others are hallmarks of the keen attentiveness to building effi ciencies and capacity that has become a driving force of Second Harvest Heartland’s mission to end hunger. These investments are only possible through the benevolence of donors who can vividly imagine our community as one with full access to nutritious food for everyone. 4 The 7,200 sq. ft. addition of the new cooler/freezer was funded by Cargill, Inc. and Sunny Fresh Foods; F.R. Bigelow Foundation; General Mills Foundation; Land O’ Lakes Foundation; Mardag Foundation and the St. Paul Foundation. 2001 - 2006 Timeline Purchased with funding from the Frey Foundation, the largest capital gift ever given to SHH, new trucks and trailers replaced leased and high-mileage vehicles. HUNGER IN AMERICA 2006 study shows hunger is increasing in the Heartland Hungry people are working families, seniors and children. Families and seniors face tough choices – buying food or paying for housing, healthcare or utilities. Demand for emergency food continues to rise. Those are just some of the fi ndings of the local data from the Hunger in America 2006 study, sponsored by America’s Second Harvest – The Nation’s Food Bank Network. The local study included nearly 500 in-depth individual client interviews as well as responses to an agency survey by member agencies.

SHH was put on alert and delivered 524,000 pounds of food, water and emergency supplies to survivors of Hurricane Katrina, thanks to our generous donors who responded to the Katrina disaster. SHH staff traveled to Louisiana for two 2-week stints at the request of America’s Second Harvest. Used with permission. Copyright Joseph Nickischer, Istockphoto International 2006 Hunger Awareness Campaign one of our most successful Minnesotans joined thousands of organizations and individuals to recognize National Hunger Awareness Day on June 6, 2006. Initiated in 2002 by America’s Second Harvest, this public awareness initiative was created to inform individuals, communities, corporations and policy makers that hunger is a serious domestic issue, but a solvable one. In addition to participating in the national effort to get out the word about ending hunger, Second Harvest Heartland kicked-off a local campaign when Governor Tim Pawlenty proclaimed June 5-11, 2006 “Minnesota Hunger Awareness Week.” Among the highlights of the week was a fi rst year partnership with Bremer Banks and the Otto Bremer Foundation. Bremer Banks throughout Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin raised $78,050.50, while an Otto Bremer Foundation’s Challenge Grant generated an additional $50,000 for SHH and the other fi ve America’s Second Harvest food bank network members serving Minnesota. “While many of us look in a full closet or a full fridge and say, ‘I have nothing to wear; I have nothing to eat,’ for nearly 500,000 kids in Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin, nothing is hunger. Without school lunches, hunger for kids is all too real.” This was the basis of the “Nothing” campaign, which was the inspiration for Bremer’s activities of the week. Events included a luncheon of saltines and water for corporate leaders; bank statement stuffers/donation appeals that were sent to more than 200,000 customers in May and June; “Changing Face of Hunger” video; and Public Service Announcements (PSAs) featuring comedian and former food shelf client Colleen Kruse that aired on local Hubbard Broadcasting-owned radio stations. Other highlights included The Rake’s Twin Cities’ Restaurant Week, Swenson Anderson Financial Group’s 3rd Annual Ice Cream Social, Cub Foods on Nicollet Mall and Cub Foods Community Cupboard Match.
