ANNUAL REPORT 2007

Dear Friends,

As the economy started to slump in 2007, the situation facing the 1,200 food pantries and soup kitchens represented by the New York City Coalition Against Hunger – and the 1.3 million low-income New Yorkers forced to rely upon them – went from bad to worse.

The Coalition’s annual hunger survey estimated that pantry and kitchen use spiked by 20% in 2007, on top of a 11% increase in 2006. Nearly two thirds of the agencies – a record number – said they lacked the resources to meet their growing demand, a sharp increase from the previous year. One in six city residents lived in households without enough money to buy food. That high level of food insecurity cost New York City’s economy $2.65 billion dollars due to increased health care costs, reduced worker productivity, and other hunger-related spending, according to the Coalition’s calculations based on a national study by Dr. Larry Brown of Harvard University.

The good news was that the Coalition’s growing success in tackling the hunger problem provided struggling New Yorkers a ray of hope. In just this one year, the Coalition:

• Won concrete policy victories at the federal, state, and local levels which hiked the minimum wage, improved access to food stamp benefits for working families, and boosted funding for pantries and kitchens.

• Expanded to a second neighborhood an innovative project that enables low-income families to obtain fresh, organic produce directly from small farms.

• Pioneered the use of electronic mapping systems to make it easier for families and social service providers to find summer meals sites for low-income children.

• Expanded its ground-breaking project that helps families apply for food stamp benefits online at pantries and kitchens.

• Launched a state-of-the art system to enable people to sign-up online for both short- and long-term anti-hunger volunteer opportunities.

And we accomplished all of that with only eight full-time employees, a team of AmeriCorps national service program participants, and budget revenues of only $1.1 million. These are indeed grim times, but the best way to keep hope alive is to fight back, and to do so effectively. With your support, the Coalition is doing just that.

Sincerely,

Daniel B. Ripps Joel S. Berg Chair, Board of Directors Executive Director

Executive Letter

New York City Coalition Against Hunger

The New York City Coalition Against Hunger (NYCCAH) was established in 1983 and represents the

more than 1,200 charitable soup kitchens and food pantries that exist in New York City, as well as

the 1.3 million low-income New Yorkers forced to rely on their services. The Coalition is committed

to meeting the immediate food needs of low-income New Yorkers while enacting innovative

solutions to help them move “beyond the soup kitchen” toward greater economic self-sufficiency.

The Coalition’s fight to end hunger relies on a threefold plan of action–Connect, Advocate &

Engage–which informs the Coalition’s ten innovative and interconnected programs.

The Emergency Food Action Center (EFAC) provides comprehensive, free-of-cost technical assistance to New York City’s 1,200 soup kitchens and food pantries to help them strengthen their infrastructures in order to provide more

and better food and help their clients move toward economic self-sufficiency. Through capacity-building workshops, one-on-one trainings, and specialized consultations, EFAC helps pantries and kitchens obtain more food and improve their operations in fundraising, financial management, nutrition education, technology, client service, and board and program development.

Emergency Food Action Center

� �

Since its inception, EFAC has provided technical assistance to hundreds of kitchens and pantries and has organized eleven NYCCAH-sponsored neighborhood-based networks of pantries and kitchens. Neighborhood Networks are successfully bringing together Emergency Food Programs for regular meetings to coordinate ser-vices, harmonize hours of operations, and plan joint opera-tional activities, such as Community Supported Agriculture projects and unified client tracking systems. In conjunction with the AmeriCorps*VISTA program, NYCCAH has helped these agencies secure funding to hold events such as nutrition classes and hunger awareness block parties and strengthen their outreach to the community.

Linking food pantries and soup kitchens to community coLLaborations, consuLting services and fresh, affordabLe produce

“NYCCAH is committed to helping those in need in our communities, making regular calls and scheduling site visits

in order to improve service and increase our capacity and effectiveness. Neighborhood Network meetings introduce

food service providers to each other, encouraging collaborations and provide information about resources.

The Apple’s Core Coffee House at Abounding Grace Ministries provides hot home-cooked meals and clothing to

those in need every Saturday evening. NYCCAH is always available to give advice and support in every effort to

reach all members of the community, providing volunteers and scheduling teams to clean and organize the serving

areas of the church during the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Serve-A-Thon. It takes many willing hands and caring

hearts to serve a community well. NYCCAH’s staff and volunteers help make everything possible.”

-Jannie Wolff

Abounding Grace Ministries

The Benefits Outreach Program helps pantries and kitchens connect their clients with food stamps and Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) benefits; School Meals; Summer Meals; and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), greatly increasing their clients’ access to affordable, nutritious food.

The Food Stamps Paperless Office System (POS) Project - a partnership be-tween NYCCAH, HRA, Food Bank/Food Change and five emergency food programs - allows low-income New Yorkers to apply for food stamps online at food pantries and soup kitchens in each of the five boroughs. In 2007, over 700 applications have been processed with over 500 of those cases be-ing accepted. Over half of the applicants have qualified for a waiver which enables them to forego the in-person interview at the food stamps office, an overwhelming barrier for low-income working people unable to take time off from work to complete the application process.

United Way Food Card Access Project (FCAP) – NYCCAH has been a city-wide partner in FCAP since its inception in 2003. Our role is to identify appro-priate sites throughout the project catchment area where community-based groups can perform food stamps pre-screenings, inform individuals of their potential eligibility for food stamps and, if desired, schedule appointments at the local food stamps office. In 2007, NYCCAH has helped coordinate over 150 sites where pre-screening has taken place, including health clinics, schools, libraries, supermarkets, senior centers and banks, as well as soup kitchens and food pantries.

Benefits Outreach Program

NYCCAH has also created ‘Street Sheets’ - neighborhood-specific, comprehensive guides to local food resources, including detailed lists of local emergency feeding sites and food stamps and WIC offices. These Street Sheets have been translated into Spanish and have proven effective in increas-ing the participation of income-eligible New Yorkers in public benefit programs – with emphasis on the Food Stamps Program.

In 2007-2008, NYCCAH distributed over 145,000 of these Street Sheets, covering 10 distinct New York City neighborhoods, to over 400 community-based agencies and organizations.� �

NYCCAH’s policy and

outreach work has played a

key role in increasing Food

Stamp Program participation

in the City by 319,890 people

between January 2002 and

August 2007. As a result,

low-income New Yorkers will

receive at least $500 million

more in federal nutrition

assistance support this year

than in 2001.

The Farm Fresh Produce Project, a city-wide program model, connects small farms with low

and middle income New Yorkers, and increases the consumption of fresh New York State-grown produce in targeted neighborhoods, by enabling low-income residents to obtain the produce free or with their food stamp benefits and enabling other residents to purchase the produce at market rates. The centerpiece of the citywide program is a unique Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model which distributes both institutional shares of fresh produce to pantries and kitchens as well as family shares, a third of which are received by low-income people using food stamp benefits and scholarships.

The Farm Fresh pilot program–hosted in West Harlem from May to October 2007 - distributed a total of over 13,000 pounds of fresh produce, exceeding program expectations. After evaluating these outcomes, the project partners – NYCCAH, Hunger Action Network of New York State, Just Food, United Way NYC, West Harlem Action Network Against Poverty – will collaborate closely with local farmers, community organizations, and emergency food providers to expand the program to a second neighborhood in Long Island City in the coming year.

The Farm Fresh pilot program – hosted in West Harlem from May to October 2007– distributed a total of over 13,000 pounds of fresh produce, exceeding program expectations.

The Coalition Against Hunger’s Policy Research and Development Project studies the extent and

causes of hunger in New York City and America, while proposing innovative yet practical ways to tackle the crisis. To better advocate on behalf of the network of 1,200 soup kitchens and food pantries, the program conducts the City’s most comprehensive annual survey of pantries and kitchens, which documents the specific needs and overall trends of grassroots emergency food programs (EFPs). The resulting annual hunger report provides the necessary data to effectively advocate on behalf of New York City’s pantry and kitchen network and the 1.3 million New Yorkers who rely on them for food, while serving as the gold standard in hunger management data used by the media and elected officials.

According to NYCCAH’s 2007 annual hunger survey, entitled Rising Food Lines, Sinking Economy: Increase in NYC Hunger is Early Proof of Economic Slow-Down, the number of people served by the City’s charitable food pantries and soup kitchens rose by an estimated 20% in 2007, on top of an estimated 11% increase from 2006. Because the agencies were unable to obtain enough food, money, staff, and volunteers to meet this growing need, a majority (59%) were forced to ration food by turning people away, reducing portion sizes, and/or limiting hours of operation.

Each year, the results of the survey are compiled into a report and released at press conferences in each of the five boroughs during Thanksgiving week. The release of the annual hunger survey in 2007 resulted in a total of 76 press placements including The New York Times, National Public Radio, The British Independent, BBC News, Bloomberg Radio, and The Daily News.

Policy Research and Development Project

Engaging food pantriEs and soup kitchEns in policy dEbatEs and community action

The Interfaith Voices Against Hunger Feed the Solution Program (IVAH) engages religious and

civic leaders, people of diverse faiths, and clients of emergency food programs in advocating for intensified governmental and economic actions to alleviate hunger and poverty in New York City. IVAH works to expand and simplify access to food stamps and other government nutrition assistance programs, support the adoption of a living wage, increase government support for food pantries and soup kitchens, improve child nutrition programs, and support the ability of low-income people to develop the assets to move towards financial independence.

Interfaith Voices Against Hunger Program

IVAH has also engaged key government officials in the effort to increase participation in free or reduced-priced breakfast programs among low-income public school students. In Newark, where public schools have in-classroom breakfast programs, participation is 93%; in New York, where school breakfast program participants are relegated to separate rooms at meal time, participation is 29%. Of the country’s major urban centers, New York is ranked second to last in school breakfast program participation. IVAH leadership has successfully persuaded key government officials to create a pioneering in-classroom, universal school breakfast pilot project in 20 public schools, and will continue to work closely with school principals and City officials to expand access to in-classroom school breakfasts.

In keeping with NYCCAH’s deep commitment to advocating for strategic anti-hunger policy, in the past year IVAH brought together Senator Charles Schumer, Council Speaker Christine Quinn, and New York City anti-hunger advocates for a widely publicized press conference to call for a strong nutrition title in the Federal Farm Bill. In addition, this past year, IVAH leadership engaged public officials and anti-hunger leaders to effectively advocate for the creation of the first-ever New York City Food Policy Task Force and full-time Food Policy Coordinator to oversee the City’s food policy issues. In addition to this City-level coordinating body, NYCCAH joined other anti-hunger groups to successfully campaign for the creation of the New York State Council on Food Policy. IVAH also led a winning campaign that convinced the Governor and the State Legislature to increase State funding for pantries and kitchens by 50% in 2007.

� �

The strength of the anti-hunger movement depends on the effective communication of the hunger

issue to the community. NYCCAH’s Communications Initiative uses mass media, the Internet, newsletters, and other creative ways of message delivery to inform anti-hunger advocates, the network of food pantries and soup kitchens, and the greater New York community about hunger and the concrete ways they can help address it. NYCCAH uses media coverage to advance its anti-hunger policy and advocacy agenda.

In 2007, NYCCAH launched a new highly interactive and state-of-the-art website, www.nyccah.org, which provides comprehensive information for our network and its clients, as well as information on NYCCAH’s response to hunger in New York City. The site features a daily “Hunger Blog” on hunger-related news items as well as the fully automated volunteer match system, which matches individuals and groups of volunteers to one of the 1,200 soup kitchens and food pantries in the City.

Always eager to use technology to communicate in new and innovative ways, NYCCAH has begun using Web 2.0 technology through YouTube and Facebook to expand our message to new audiences of supporters. In addition, the Coalition further expanded our communications base by sending an electronic monthly newsletter, Hunger Headlines, and a quarterly print newsletter to key NYCCAH supporters.

Communications Initiative

As a result of our consistent and

persistent communication of the urgent

needs of the 1.3 million people without

enough food in New York City,

NYCCAH was highlighted in a total of 102

press venues in 2007 – including

40 international, 12 national and

50 local placements.

� �

NYCCAH’s groundbreaking Hunger Mapping Project– the first of its kind in the nation– allows users to access a comprehensive database of food programs across the City and locate soup kitchens and food pantries by zip code, keyword or borough.

The Volunteer Matching Center annually connects highly-skilled volunteers with agencies in need of direct assistance. These professional volunteers help agencies build their capacity, create new programs,

strengthen existing programs, and introduce new and innovative methods to help their clients move towards self-sufficiency, and ensure long-term organizational sustainability. The Coalition Against Hunger’s Volunteer Program also places over 700 volunteers at soup kitchens and food pantries to help meet basic needs such as stocking shelves and serving customers.

Volunteer Matching Center

In the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King’s commitment to community action, NYCCAH coordinates a three-day citywide Serve-A-Thon event, which connects volunteers, food pantries and soup kitchens around the City. This year we recruited over 250 volunteers, the majority of whom were from New York City corporations and law firms, for the fourth annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Serve-a-Thon event in January 2007. Volunteers spent the weekend cleaning, painting, packing pantry bags, and distributing food stamps materials to grocery store customers. Each year, the Dr. King Serve-a-Thon has generated increased press and media coverage and raised public awareness about the hunger problem in

our City.

Building our Base of long-term partners in the fight to end hunger

AmeriCorps State ProgramThe AmeriCorps State Program places national service participants in full-time or part-time service at food pantries, soup kitchens, and anti-poverty organizations throughout New York City. NYCCAH’s AmeriCorps members provide direct service, recruit volunteers, and develop community resources to build the capacity of grassroots organizations.

AmeriCorps State members provide services that are essential to keeping these hard-pressed agencies operating on a day-to-day basis. Limited fundraising is built into each team’s performance measures to garner additional private support and diversify funding streams for their specific projects. Additionally, recruiting and maintaining volunteers enhances the

capacity of organizations to meet demand for their programs and bolster support from the communities they serve by actively engaging New Yorkers in their work at little cost to the agency.

In addition to helping sponsoring agencies, the program develops young leaders to be more aware of, sensitive to, and involved in anti-hunger work.

In the 2006-2007 program year, AmeriCorps State members have: recruited, trained or supervised over 560 volunteers that completed 4,003 total hours of service; conducted 21 nutrition education workshops which educated 789 participants; and wrote or assisted in writing grants, some of which were ultimately funded.

In the 2006-2007 program year,

AmeriCorps State members have:

recruited, trained or supervised over

560 volunteers that completed

4,003 total hours of service.

In 2007, AmeriCorps State members served in soup kitchens and food pantries across the five boroughs, helping with the daily tasks of maintaining individual emergency food programs by packing and distributing pantry bags and conducting client intake. In order to strengthen the long-term stability of these programs, AmeriCorps state members also recruited and trained volunteers and created new client tracking databases.

“Having an AmeriCorps member on site is extremely helpful because I am the only person here now and I need help to keep operations running smoothly,” said J.D. Clarke, Director of Community Ministry at St. Bartholomew’s, who sponsored AmeriCorps member Kristin Reirson. “Kristin will see something that needs done and she’ll go attack it and get it done. That’s true of all the AmeriCorps members I’ve had.”

The AmeriCorps*VISTA Program is a federally funded program that places full-time developing leaders at pantries

and kitchens in all five boroughs of New York City for a one-year term of service. Through its VISTA program, NYCCAH places and coordinates 15 members to provide full-time capacity building assistance to improve the daily operations and address long-term needs of host anti-hunger agencies. Members also help initiate sustained community action by organizing and facilitating cooperative neighborhood networks, which allow feeding agencies to come together to share ideas, collaborate on joint projects, and develop new initiatives to fight hunger.

As NYCCAH’s experience with its completed VISTA program years has shown, many VISTA members continue their careers in public service fighting hunger and poverty. New York City’s struggling neighborhoods will continue to benefit from the contributions of these highly skilled civic leaders and community organizers.

AmeriCorps*VISTA Program

12 13

In the 2006-2007 program year,

VISTA participants: recruited over

450 unpaid volunteers; obtained

$533,172 in funding for pantries and

kitchens; and organized networks of

pantries and kitchens in 10 different

neighborhoods, enabling agencies to

harmonize their hours of operation,

coordinate their services; and conduct

joint projects.

October 2007 marked the passing of a strongly committed anti-hunger community organizer whose life focused on ending hunger in New York City and throughout the nation. While working with the New York City Coalition Against Hunger and the neighborhood-based coalition, the West Harlem Action Network Against Poverty, Craig Murphey passed away in a fatal bike accident leaving a tremendous void – we lost a family member, a friend, a fellow “hunger fighter”.

In the spirit of Craig’s life, the New York City Coalition Against Hunger worked with the West Harlem Network Against Poverty to begin the Craig Murphey Fellowship Fund to support a fellowship program focused on anti-hunger, community-based work. Each year, a Craig Murphey fellow will carry on Craig’s commitment to community action by facilitating collaborative advocacy and local action among West Harlem emergency food programs while working to build a citywide consortium of self-sustaining, grassroots anti-hunger neighborhood networks. The fellow will also work to coordinate a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program in West Harlem that connects low-income community members to fresh, affordable produce from upstate farms.

To designate a gift in Craig’s honor, donations can be made directly to the New York City Coalition Against Hunger, with designation for the Craig Murphey Fellowship Fund.
