We Asked. You Gave.Thank You

Thanks to your support we were able to reach our Annual Campaign goal this year. Because of your generosity, KLF is better equipped to tackle food insecurity in Kalamazoo County, particularly during the

late winter/early spring months when donations taper off, but demand is still high. Thank you for believing in our mission and allowing us to

continue the fight to end hunger today and for future generations.

Thanks to the support of Presenting Sponsor Maple Hill Auto Group and co-hosts Gazelle Sports and Kalamazoo Area Runners, the 2015 Run Through the Lights was a festive success! Nearly 1000 participants generated 819 pounds of food and over $8,500 in proceeds for KLF. The event contributed enough donated food and funds to provide food for 26,182 meals for people in need during the holiday season. Were looking forward to the 2016 event and the colorful fun it will bring!

Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes was recently the recipient of a new electronic sign thanks to the generosity of SignArt located at 5757 E. Cork Street in Kalamazoo. The new sign will allow KLF to better inform Kalamazoo residents and visitors about programs, news, and events as they drive by our 901 Portage Street location. SignArt has been a fantastic community partner over the years, and were thankful for their support in allowing us to get our message out in a new way. Give us a honk the next time you drive by our snazzy new sign!

Most people sitting in a business meeting with Becky would never suspect that she relied on Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes to put food on the table for her and her family in the past. With a resume that boasts impressive job experience and two masters degrees, shes not what many envision as someone in need of a helping hand.

Im quick to remind people not to confuse who I am with what I look like on paper, Becky says with a slight smile.

A Kalamazoo native, Becky grew up with a single mother who worked tirelessly to provide for her children. While money was always tight, Beckys mother consistently stressed the importance of getting an education and persuing goals with tenacity. She landed her post-college dream job amidst an ailing U.S. economy only to be laid off eight months later. After moving a handful of times for work and living paycheck to paycheck, she found herself unemployed, applying for benefits, and feverishly looking for work again.

In 2013, with a new husband and new baby, Becky moved back to Michigan to

pursue job opportunities after realizing her current employment wasnt a good long-term option. Finding work in Michigan was tough, so Becky applied for various state benefits hoping to utilize them to bridge the gap while looking for a job, but, for a variety of reasons, was always denied.

I felt like I was constantly under a microscope, Becky recalls. I felt trapped. That feeling of failure, of feeling responsible for that failure, is horrible.

Becky was thankful when she received a referral to Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes for groceries. The volunteers were so kind and so helpful. It was a relief to have that resource when and if I needed it.

Today, Becky cant help but approach her work from the lens she looked through for so many years and feels the challenges shes faced allow her to develop more equitable projects. While she and her husband still live on a tight budget, shes incredibly thankful to not only have a job, but also one that now allows her to give back to organizations that helped her when she needed a hand.

HUNGER WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT YOUR GENEROSITY!

FEBRUARY/MARCH 2016

Diversity and inclusion. These words are heard often in our society; however, as sometimes happens when words are used frequently and broadly, we often begin to gloss over them or forget the depth of their meaning. At Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes, we make a concerted effort not only to talk about diversity and inclusion, but also to integrate these practices into every aspect of our organization. We grew out of the belief that everyone, regardless of individual differences and life circumstance, deserve to have their basic needs met. And while our name derives from Judeo-Christian beliefs, we remain a secular organization that does not believe anything should come between hungry people and food.

KLF serves a diverse clientele. From ethnicity and religion to age and socioeconomic status, we see people from all walks of life coming through our doors each week. Because hunger doesnt discriminate, its important to us to make sure our shelves are stocked with food that can meet the dietary, cultural, and preferential needs of anyone coming to us for help. However, we know there is more we can do to serve our diverse community so we recently dove into local training workshops and seminars to explore ways to expand or tweak services to reach unmet needs.

In 2013, KLFs Diversity and Inclusion Taskforce was formed (pictured above). Our internal taskforce is charged with helping the organization put its commitment to diversity and inclusion into action. The taskforces work currently includes providing training for staff, discussing barriers and racial inequalities in the work of food security, and reviewing KLFs policies and procedures. Over the course of the next year, well be exploring a number of options to make our organization more inclusive for all clients, volunteers, donors, and staff. We have lofty goals, but were not ones to set the bar lower than our caliber.

Were proud of the progress weve made and hope youre proud to support an organization that is so strongly committed to diversity and inclusion.

NOTE FROM JEN COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: WALTHER FARMS

Family owned and operated since 1946, Walther Farms has been perfecting the art of potato cultivation for 70 years. Headquartered in Three Rivers, Michigan, the company produces spuds for some of the top potato chip processors in the country as well as local grocers.

Founders Leonard Walther, Sr. and his wife Regina always believed in sharing the blessings bestowed upon them with others, and that foundation of giving is at the core of Walther Farms mission today. A portion of our profits go to supporting local organizations that help people in the communities we work and live in, said Chad Cottingham, Director of Employee and Community Relations.

Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes is grateful to receive a weekly donation of fresh potatoes from Walther Farms, which totaled over 40,000 pounds in 2015 alone. Those potatoes are then packaged and distributed to KLF clients who need help filling their cupboards. Walther Farms generosity also touches the lives of 360 Three Rivers school district students each week through their independently-run Paw Pack program. We grow food to feed people, Cottingham said, We feel compelled to give some of what we have to ensure people in our community arent going hungry.

Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes is proud to partner with Walther Farms and is so grateful for their support in working toward a hunger-free Kalamazoo County.

A local company that believes in growing people by growing potatoes.

CONSIDERING A MONTHLY GIFT?

Poverty is the main cause of hunger worldwide, and Kalamazoo County is no exception to that statistic. Nearly 40,000 residents, including 10,500 children, are food insecure in our community. Because stretching an already stretched budget is no easy task, many of the individuals and families have to make the tough choice of purchasing a small amount of fresh produce or a larger amount of processed food. Sadly, some arent even fortunate to have that choice, oftentimes running out of funds before a grocery budget is allocated.

The affects of food insecurity dont end when someone has a full stomach. A prolonged lack of access to nutrient-dense food negatively impacts healthy growth and development and can lead to compounded health issues later in life. According to a recent study conducted by the Bread for the World Institute, hunger and food insecurity increased health expenditures in the United States by $160 billion in 2015. Many chronic diseases depression, cardiovascular disease, asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure - are directly linked to poor diet.

Solving this issue is not as simple as replacing a few cans of ready-made ravioli with an armful of fresh carrots and oranges. Over the last 30 years, prices for fresh fruits and vegetables have risen at a higher rate than any other food group1. The incentive to spend your last dollars on fresh food simply isnt there when that money can purchase double the amount of groceries if spent on ready-made or processed foods. Its for this reason that Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes (KLF) works hard to source fresh produce, dairy and meat products for clients each week.

Each week KLF clients have the opportunitiy to grab fresh food from our pantries, knowing that these types of groceries allow them to spend time cooking with their children or provide what they need to create multiple meals from just a few items. Fresh, unprocessed foods add more than food to bellies they provide sustenance for healthier lives, healthier families, and an overall healthier Kalamazoo County. 1 Bread for the Word Institute.
