2012 ANNUAL REPORT

Page 2: 2012 WCFB Annual Report

During an Olympic year, the passing of the torch unitesthousands of runners across thousands of miles withinthe expansive community of the host nation to achievea simple, symbolic purpose: To share and then ignitethe flame of promise and hope at the bi-annualOlympic games.

At the Westmoreland County Food Bank (WCFB), this isan apt metaphor for the changing of the guard at ourexecutive leadership level this year.

Because when that flame is tipped forward to meet thetorch of the next bearer, it is implicitly understood thefire will be kept burning, the tradition of the past willinform the journey of the future, and the weight bornepreviously now rests in equally secure hands.

All of us at the WCFB join with our partners in FeedingAmerica and The United Way to bid fond farewell toformer CEO Marlene Kozak, while welcoming new CEOKris Douglas to our collective mission of support for areafamilies in need.

the passing of the torch-ceo’s message

At the end of 2012, the Westmoreland County Food Bank family was both overjoyed and saddened for the retirement oftwo of our longest tenured and hardest working employees.

Marlene Kozak, our Chief Executive Officer for the past 12 years, announced her intensions in January to retire at the endof 2012. During her tenure, she was directly responsible for many great things happening at our organization. Marlenewas hired as CEO in November 2000. Under her leadership, our ability to serve our community has greatly expanded. Infact, we recently ranked third in the nation for providing pounds of food per person in poverty. Fundraising now supports60% of our operating budget, which was $3.4 million in 2012. We now employ 23 full time staff and engage over 6000volunteers to help provide food-assistance to roughly 7000 households a month. In 2012, those volunteers distributedover 6.8 million pounds of food. In 2009, we launched the Outreach/Expansion Project in Jeannette, which wasrecognized by Feeding America as the 2010 Agency Capacity Program of the Year. Also in 2010, we were named Non-Profit of the Year by the Westmoreland County Chamber of Commerce. In 2011, the Food Bank received certification fromthe Pennsylvania Association of Non Profit Organizations (PANO) for achieving excellence in our programs, managementpractices, fundraising, fiscal management, and ethical practices. In addition, we have also received a four-star rating fromCharity Navigator for the past several years. In 2012, our Push Method of Food Distribution was named DistributionProgram of the Year by Feeding America. A lot of the credit for these outstanding achievements and for the stellarreputation our organization now enjoys goes to Marlene. Her dedication and passion for taking care of the less fortunateis commendable. We were blessed to have her at the helm of our organization these past years and we wish her only thebest in her retirement. She will be truly missed by all!

Glenn Cavanaugh also decided to retire at the end of 2012, a second time for him. Glenn came to the WestmorelandCounty Food Bank in 1999 after retiring from the Derry Area School District as an admired teacher. He was to fill a parttime position that quickly evolved into full time and then some. Glenn held the position of Agency Relations Director and

was responsible for the formation of many exceptional food pantriesand agencies throughout our county. Glenn was also a

passionate hunger advocate and a truly caring person. He toowill be missed by all and we wish him the best in his futureendeavors.

I consider it both an honor and a privilege to take over the helm of the Westmoreland County Food Bank from these twoshining examples of great leadership. Today, our organization is truly blessed with passionate employees, dedicatedvolunteers, and generous donors. All three are important parts of the equation and if you remove any one, we would surelyfail in our mission. I feel blessed to be taking over the organization at a time when we are in such good financial shape.Again, this is a testament to Marlene’s leadership. We continue to be good stewards with our donor’s and the public’smoney. I am proud of the fact that 95 cents of every dollar we take in goes back out to help those in need. It is a testamentto our efficiency and one of our strongest selling points when it comes to soliciting donations.

As we look ahead to 2013 and beyond, I am filled with both excitement and sadness at the same time. I am excited tofurther develop and refine our programs and services and take them to the next level. I am excited at the prospect ofgetting out and serving a larger portion of the roughly 40,000 additional food insecure people in our county that have yet toreceive our services. I also am excited to work with so many fine people, not just in Westmoreland County, but throughoutthe State of Pennsylvania, and the Nation as a whole who are trying to address the problem of hunger. I am very saddenedhowever, that an organization such as ours even has to exist in the first place , in one of the richest nations on the planet. Itbreaks my heart to see so many in need in our communities throughout Westmoreland County. This is especially true whenit comes to the children I see standing in line with their parents and grandparents when at a pantry distribution orOperation Fresh Express. We sometimes forget how lucky we are to have enough to eat and a shelter over our heads. A lotof the time, we take for granted just how good we really have it. Seeing hungry children in person can really drive that pointhome. While we may never be able to completely eliminate hunger, we must do all we can to reduce it as much as possible.Even one person who is hungry is one too many.As long as the need remains, the WestmorelandCounty Food Bank will continue to be there tohelp the less fortunate in our community! GodBless you and yours and thank you for yourcontinued support of our organization, it is trulyappreciated!

food pantry distributioN programThe core of Westmoreland County Food Bank's work is to acquire food and household necessities and to distribute itto needy people throughout Westmoreland County. In 2012, WCFB distributed nearly 7 million pounds of fooditems through a network of 71 partner agencies in Westmoreland County. Partner agencies are primarily comprisedof food pantries, which distribute monthly food boxes to eligible recipients through the Food Pantry Distribution

Program. Agencies also include community meals/soup kitchens and on-site feeding programs that provide daily or weekly hot meals to

recipients. The Food Bank regularly monitors its partneragencies to ensure that food is properly stored,

distributed and/or served, and that all clienteligibility requirements are met.

Approximately 7,000 households areserved each month. The Food Bank

also functions as a distributionpoint for other human service

agencies to provideinformation on the

services they provide.

Awards/AchievementsConsol Energy Community All-StarsThe Westmoreland County Food Bank was chosen as one of ConsolEnergry’s Community All-Stars this past year. WCFB was honored at aluncheon at the Consol Energy Center and also received tickets to aPenguin Game. It was truly a privilege to be recognized.

2012 Feeding America Distribution Program of the Year Recognition for its “Push Method” of food distribution

The Westmoreland County Food Bank [WCFB] was named the 2012Distribution Program of the Year winner at the annual Feeding AmericaNetwork Summit in Detroit. The award is given to the year’s mostoutstanding distribution program from the 202 food banks across thenation in the Feeding America network.

The Push Method is a radically different, “whole-system” approach totraditional food banking that streamlines the ordering process for WCFBfood pantries. This efficient model requires less employees to manage theordering, picking, and inventory processes, freeing up staff for otherduties.

“The Westmoreland County Food Bank continues to show why it’s a leaderin our Network,” said Vicki Escarra, former President and CEO of FeedingAmerica, the nation’s largest hunger relief charity. “This distribution program award shows the innovation andcreativity of the food bank’s staff to help fight hunger in their community.” The Push Method easily allows theWestmoreland County Food Bank to design distributions three months in advance, meaning the smallest foodbanks can leverage tools like bulk purchasing, collaborative purchasing, and timing of donations.
