FY2017-2019 Strategic Plan

August 2016

• The intent is to provide each at-risk person in the service area one meal per day for a week each month.

• There are an estimated 39.7 million meals needed throughout ETFB’s 26 county service area.

• ETFB distributed 21.8 million meals in FY2016. This is equivalent to 46* meals per at-risk person or 55%* of the projected need.

• The remaining unmet need is 17.9 million meals. In response ETFB will grow its output to 39.7 million meals per year by FY2025.

Building Partnerships

Online Job Applications. Our first six-week series on Financial Fitness is

Community Food Pantry - Tool

Community Care Food Pantry - Athens

“Allows us to reliably offload the food we get, to handle higher capacities of food, and be able to reassign volunteers to the

actual distribution of food.”

Leon County Food Pantry - Jewett

“We will have more food available, including

refrigerated food”

“Able to offer classes and trainings such as Bridges out of Poverty”

MISSION MARSHALL: “The shopping carts that we purchased have made a huge

difference in our ability to serve clients quickly.”

NACOGDOCHES HOPE: “Our new freezer is energy

efficient and has more freezer capacity than the eight

(previous) individual freezers combined.”

MCCARY’S CHAPEL UMC : “The new room is just a few feet now from a paved driveway, so our older volunteers can unload within a short

distance of the addition – also making our work much easier.”

WESTSIDE CHURCH OF CHRIST:

“Because of the new deep freezes, we had freezer

space for frozen blueberries."

Economic Recovery is Not Translating

to Reduced Traffic in Pantries

Private Fundraising Trends Are Flat

Potential Effect of Income Tax

Legislation on Donations

Legislative Environment - Potential

effects on programs & client resources

Our Challenges

• Eliminates Broad-based Categorical Eligibility, A State Flexibility Through Which Thousands Of Texans Are Quickly Qualified For SNAP

• Expanded Work Requirements Will Make Life Harder For Texans Including A 1 Year Sit-out For Adults Who Cannot Find Work

Make Your Voices Heard - Farm Bill Legislation

The Need Is Great, BUT When Local Agencies Are At

Their Best The Sky Is The Limit!
