Dear Friends,

It is with great pleasure that I present the 2011 Annual Report

for the Edmonton Gleaners Association: Edmonton’s Food

Bank.

I encourage you to read this document as it highlights the Food

Bank’s activities over the past year. The contents of this report

powerfully illustrate all that can be achieved when community

members and organizations work together for a common

purpose. On behalf of the staff and Board, I want to express our

deep appreciation for your continued support.

With your support, the Food Bank is responding to the

immediate food needs that face many people in our community.

The vision that inspired the creation of the Food Bank in 1981,

that all citizens will have an adequate supply of nutritious food,

continues to inspire and motivate Board, staff and volunteers.

We know, however, that the causes of hunger are complex. The

Food Bank is committed to working in and with our community to address the causes of hunger

and seek solutions to poverty. In addition to our core services (provision of food hampers and

meal and snack food), we are building relationships to support programs such as the Basic

Shelf Program and the Wecan Food Coop. We are and will continue to be engaged in

community conversations to find solutions to food insecurity in our community.

I wish to acknowledge and thank the dedicated volunteers, staff and Board of Directors who

make the work of the Food Bank so effective. All of us at the Food Bank are committed to

working hard to ensure the Food Bank continues to be a strong and responsive organization.

Sincerely,

Anne Smith

receive food from Edmonton’s Food Bank:

Aboriginal Student Services Centre

University of Alberta (ASSA)

environment that encourages full access,

participation and success for Aboriginal students. ASSA works with Aboriginal students attending the

U of A who are facing financial stresses. Edmonton’s Food Bank provides food for ASSA’s snack

program.

Eastglen High School

Most of the students attending Eastglen High School are from low-income households. The school’s

application to the Food Bank stated that: we believe that a full stomach is conducive to learning and that

learning is the way out of poverty. This school is accessing food from the Food Bank for their Breakfast

Club.

Edmonton Emergency Relief Services Society (EERSS)

This organization is dedicated to serving victims of fire or other disasters by providing basic supplies

such as household necessities, furniture, clothing, or other support. EERSS can order food hampers

from Edmonton’s Food Bank to respond to crisis situations. They can also access personal care items

2011 Annual Report Page 6

Highlands School

Seventy-five percent of the students attending Highlands School come from highly socially-vulnerable

homes. Food from Edmonton’s Food Bank is used at the breakfast program provided at Highlands.

Nyarkenyi Development Foundation of Alberta

Nyarkenyi Development Foundation of Alberta is a non-profit organization which supports the

Sudanese community. Because the organization does not have CRA status and other key governance

elements, they access food from the Food Bank under the umbrella of the City of Edmonton. In

partnership with Alberta Health and the City of Edmonton, the organization is offering a Collective

Kitchen program.

Alberta Hunters Who Care Program

(a.k.a. Wild Game Food Bank Donation Program)

This program began in 1996 and is administered by the Alberta Hunters Who Care Association.

Hunters are encouraged to participate in the program by sharing their harvest of white tailed, mule deer,

elk or moose. The program provides meat to the Edmonton Food Bank, which is distributed primarily to

soup kitchens and shelters. The program is conducted only in selected areas, and expansion to other

areas is subject to approval by the local health authority. Specific requirements must be met by donors

and recipient organizations to participate in this program. Please contact our warehouse manager if you

would like more information.

Wecan Food Basket Program

Goal

To increase people’s food security while reducing their need for hampers from Edmonton’s Food Bank.

The Wecan Food Basket Society is based on memberships which is currently $5 per annum. Once a

month, drivers pick up purchased food from suppliers and take it to the depots. The food is then

counted, sorted and packed for pickup. Members prepay for their food baskets by the first Friday of the

month at their nearest depot. They then return to the depot on the third Thursday of the month to pick

up their food.

The food basket offers 3 cuts of frozen meat, 3 types of fresh vegetables and 3 kinds of seasonal fruit.

The meat orders are $15, produce orders are $10 and a complete food basket is $25. Members are able to

purchase different combinations and multiples of the orders (ie. two meat and three produce).

Page 7: Me sssaage ffrroomm htthhee CChaaiirr · Provides warehouse space for our provincial organization, Alberta Food Banks. Is a recognized teaching facility for Concordia University’s

2011 Annual Report Page 7

Pilot Program

The proposal would enable intake volunteers and staff at Edmonton’s Food Bank to select suitable clients

to partake in the Wecan Program. The Food Bank will pay for the $5 membership and the initial food

basket at $25. It is our goal that people will use the Wecan Program rather than the Food Bank.

Edmonton Meals on Wheels

Goal

To assist vulnerable seniors by linking them to the services of Meals on Wheels.

Meals on Wheels is a non-profit agency

established in 1969 preparing hundreds of

meals daily and delivering them to

seniors throughout Edmonton.

Edmonton Meals on Wheels promotes

health, well-being and independence by

providing meal support programs

including “Heat N Eat” frozen food

program, Hot Meal program and the

Lunch Club program.

Pilot Program

Meals on Wheels will deliver up to five hampers per week for clients who have no support system to

assist them or when they indicate a hardship in picking up the hamper. The Food Bank will continue

with the intake process and will add screening questions for clients over 65 years. If a client indicates

that someone else drives them or if a family member can deliver the hamper, then this person does not

qualify.

Second Helping

The purpose of Second Helping is to glean food products from the service industry that has been

prepared but not served to the public.

This is in partnership with Dominion

Sports Services, Edmonton Oilers

Community Foundation, Rexall,

Fairmont-MacDonald Hotel, the Shaw

Conference Centre and Alberta Health

Services. Recipient agencies receive

product such as pork chops, steak,

hotdogs, roast and macaroni & cheese.

uses 472,320 feet of pallet wrap in a year.
