ANNUAL REPORT 2012

I am deeply honored to be

part of WhyHunger’s Artists Against Hunger & Poverty

Program. As a traveling musician, I feel I have a

platform and a social and moral responsibility to help

raise awareness and funds for community based organizations

that work to combat the ever growing and completely solvable problem of hunger

and poverty. The food banks in particular were an essential

resource for my own family and blessing in my life as a

child and young adult. I will never forget the kindness and humility shown to me and

my family. Now, it makes me so proud to be able to give

something back.”

MESSAGE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

“Movement building means growing

the numbers and commitment of people

who are engaged in the struggle to end hunger

and poverty at its root causes.”

— Bill Ayres Bill Ayres Co-Founder and Executive Director

Dear Friends,

2012 was a year of resiliency. We saw it in the work of our partners on the ground who helped thousands of families struggling after the devastation of Hurricanes Sandy and Isaac. We saw it in the stories of community power and perseverance at the Food Sovereignty Prize ceremony we hosted in New York City. And in the voices of hope from thousands of National Hunger Hotline callers connecting to local, nutritious food to feed themselves and their children.

Thanks to the combined efforts of the CBS Radio stations in NYC, Sirius XM Satellite Radio nationally and all our Hungerthon partners, we raised more funds and awareness than ever before through our signature Hungerthon campaign, allowing us to support, champion and serve as an ally to some of the most innovative community-based organizations. We have always believed that the most critical work to fight hunger and poverty in America happens at the grassroots. As a grassroots support organization, we work with thousands of organizations all across the U.S and the world. In 2012, we worked with 21 partners in the U.S., Asia, Africa and Latin America as part of our “Imagine There’s No Hunger” campaign in partnership with Hard Rock International and Yoko Ono Lennon. Through “Imagine,” we’ve helped to ensure that children have access to nutritious food today – over 7.2 million healthy meals - and for the rest of their lives by investing in long-term, sustainable solutions and agriculture training that rebuild local food and farm economies.

As you know, summer is the time when children are hungriest because they do not receive school lunch or school breakfast. Partnering with the USDA Food and Nutrition Services we registered 18,275 summer feeding sites, the most comprehensive listing of summer meals programs in the country, and connected thousands of families in need to nutritious, free summer meals for their children.

Since the founding of our organization 38 years ago, we have always taken a dual approach to ending hunger and poverty. We understand that it’s critical to get food to those who are hungry right now. That’s the short-term immediate work. And so we work to connect hungry people to nutritious food while helping emergency food providers to improve the quality of food they provide. And we understand that to end hunger we have to understand and work at the root causes. We partner with dozens of grassroots organizations that have innovative models to promote food justice, reinvent the food system and help people and communities get out of poverty. Through programs like our Community Learning Partners initiative, we connect organizations from different parts of the US to share and replicate their best, most innovative strategies, programs and techniques.

We continue on the path we began 38 years ago to fight hunger and poverty from the grassroots up by building a movement. For WhyHunger, movement building means growing the numbers and commitment of people who are engaged in the struggle to end hunger and poverty at its root causes. Successful movement building depends on forging trust and interpersonal relationships between those working together on a common goal. We are delighted to welcome new business partners, media partners, grassroots partners and individuals who joined us on this journey in 2012 and look forward to forging new relationships that help build the movement in 2013 and beyond. We hope you will join us in whatever way works for you.

Peace,

It’s not about the money. We would be doing what we could whether anyone noticed or helped support TOCA’s work. TOCA’s partnership with the “Imagine There’s No Hunger” Campaign is really precious. What’s priceless, what’s so precious, is the re-energizing and simply inspiring way that “Imagine” helps us keep on keeping on. This is not easy work, and there are no simple solutions. Some days are very difficult. So to be noticed, by people who we admire so much, and to be linked to folks across the globe who are working so hard on hunger issues in their communities: that is priceless.”

WhyHunger is a leader in building the movement to end hunger and poverty by connecting people to nutritious, affordable food and by supporting grassroots solutions that inspire self-reliance and community empowerment.

OUR MISSION

Founded in 1975 by the late musician Harry Chapin and current Executive Director Bill Ayres, WhyHunger is a grassroots support organization that works with more than 8,000 community-based groups across the country and around the world to fight hunger and poverty. What began as a simple commitment between two friends to make a difference has grown into an award-winning global non-profit, leading the movement to end hunger and poverty and creating a just and sustainable food system. From humble beginnings, WhyHunger remains committed to the belief that everyone deserves access to nutritious, affordable food and that together we can truly make a difference.

WhyHunger brings its unique assets and history to building a broad-based social movement to end hunger. Our set of core values rests on the understanding that solutions and innovation are often found in the grassroots. WhyHunger’s programs work to support these community-based organizations as they grow and develop, and bring new ideas and practices to creating a just food system that provides universal access to nutritious and affordable food.

As a grassroots support organization WhyHunger provides capacity building services, technical support and access to information and financial resources to community organizations implementing new ideas and developing groundbreaking projects to transform their communities. We build networks of grassroots organizations that share a vision of healthy, sustainable and self-reliant communities leading to greater mobilization and stronger advocacy to end poverty and hunger.

ABOUT WhyHungerCombating Childhood Hunger:

During the summer months, when childhood hunger in the U.S. peaks, WhyHunger helped the USDA connect 2.2 million children to free, nutritious meals in their communities. We increased the number of community-based locations for the USDA Summer Food Service Program registered in our database to 18,275 and referred more than 4,300 low-income families to a meal site in their community, nearly doubling the call volume from 2011.

CORE PROGRAMSThe Global Movements program works through international and U.S. civil society networks to link WhyHunger’s domestic work on hunger and poverty to global movements for food sovereignty and the basic rights to food, land, water and sustainable livelihoods for all people.

The National Hunger Clearinghouse collects, develops and distributes information and resources to help build the capacity of emergency food providers to address the immediate needs of struggling families and individuals while promoting self-reliance and access to healthy food. The Clearinghouse includes the National Hunger Hotline, (1.866-3.HUNGRY or 1.866.348.6479), which refers people in need anywhere in the U.S. to food pantries, soup kitchens, government programs and model grassroots organizations.

The Grassroots Action Network provides capacity building services, mentoring, training opportunities and technical assistance to organizations that are actively forging new ideas to transform communities and end hunger and poverty. Together, with a network of more than 8,000 grassroots organizations, we share their innovations, mobilize resources and connect them to each other in order to support their work to build healthier, sustainable communities that develop local food systems and strengthen local economies.

Artists Against Hunger & Poverty enlists performing artists to raise funds and awareness for the most innovative and effective community-based organizations fighting hunger and poverty on the frontlines in cities, towns and villages all across the world. WhyHunger offers artists, the artist community and the music industry an opportunity to take a stand by using their voices and resources effectively – doing what they already do so well. Through music we can all make a difference in the world.

≈ Hungerthon:WhyHunger’s biggest public outreach and fundraising campaign engages listeners through more than a dozen radio stations including all the CBS Radio stations in NYC and Sirius XM Satellite Radio nationally, and an online auction with over 150 unique experiences and memorabilia from top musicians, athletes and personalities. In 2012, we broke 27 years of Hungerthon history, raising more than $825,000 and reaching millions of people on the radio and through top-tier print and social media.

≈ National Hunger Clearinghouse:Sharing information and resources with thousands of emergency food providers, the Clearinghouse helps build the capacity of grassroots organizations to improve the quality of the food and services they provide to clients, while connecting them to news and resources from the USDA Food and Nutrition Service. In 2012, we released Cooking Up Community, a comprehensive capacity building guide to nutrition education programs across the country, which was shared with over 4,000 unique users and has received extensive praise from food bankers, nutrition educators and academics. WhyHunger is leading the charge to get nutritious food into America’s emergency food system.

≈ Community Learning Project:In this second year of WhyHunger’s mentoring-based project that brought together 15 community-based groups from different parts of the US to share and replicate their best, most innovative strategies, programs and techniques, we deepened the learning relationship between organic farmers in Arizona and New Mexico working on developing community-based training programs and a food justice network across the southwest border. Additionally, WhyHunger is building strategic alliances between farm-laborers and small farm owners through an on-going partnership between the Coalition of Immokalee Workers in Florida, Food for Maine’s Future in Maine and Family Farm Defenders in Wisconsin.

≈ National Hunger Hotline:WhyHunger’s committed staff, interns and volunteers at 1.866.3.HUNGRY helped more than 22,000 hungry Americans to find emergency food in their neighborhoods and get connected to federal nutrition programs, like SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and WIC (Women, Infants and Children Program). Together with our grassroots partners in communities all across the country, we are helping seniors, veterans, working families, children and individuals in need access nutritious food all year round.

≈ Artists Against Hunger & Poverty:In 2012, AAH&P raised more than $113,000 dollars through auctions, artist ticket sales, merchandise sales and per ticket concert donations. WhyHunger’s partners at SiriusXM Satellite Radio celebrated their 10 year anniversary with a concert to kick off Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s Wrecking Ball tour at the Apollo Theater in New York City and raised over $1 million for WhyHunger and our grassroots partners. For the remainder of Springsteen’s tour, WhyHunger connected him with our local grassroots partners fighting hunger in every market, allowing local groups to raise funds and awareness at each show. In 2012, artists Trampled By Turtles, Brandi Carlile, Davy Knowles, Blurred Vision and more joined our roster.

≈ Harry Chapin Self-Reliance Awards:Created in 1985, the annual award supports some of the most innovative and successful community based food, hunger and poverty programs in the U.S. Over the years, WhyHunger has awarded $870,000 to 170 grassroots organizations. In 2012, five winners each received $10,000 to support unique programs ranging from sustainable agriculture-based youth initiatives and farmer training programs to food pantries that work with their clients on self-empowerment and political advocacy skills.

≈ Partnerships:From grassroots groups and national nonprofits to influencers of all kinds, from the public sector to the private, WhyHunger is bringing folks together across industries to find solutions to hunger and poverty in America and around the world. In 2012, we launched partnerships with philosophy, Sesame Workshop, Bloggers Without Borders, PS It Matters, Times Square Alliance, Countdown Entertainment and Eyeball.

≈ US Food Sovereignty Alliance:In response to the global food crisis several years ago, WhyHunger worked with its national ally partners to convene almost eighty organizations from across the country and a the food system to form an alliance that addresses the root causes of hunger and poverty and promotes the right of people to have control over the food they eat, harvest, sell and produce. The Alliance helps grassroots groups support each other in their own local struggles and links their work with the international movement for food sovereignty. In 2012, WhyHunger worked with Alliance member organizations, shifted its leadership structure to include a majority of grassroots leadership and worked on national campaigns to raise the minimum wage for farm and food workers, while continuing to forge relationships with social movements worldwide such as La Via Campesina and MST in Brazil.

≈ Building Community Capacity to Eliminate Food Deserts:We continued our work in the Mississippi Delta, southeastern Arizona and the central coast of California organizing multi-sector coalitions to increase access to healthy and nutritious food in rural areas known as “food deserts.” With funding from the WK Kellogg and Kresge Foundations, we brought together leaders from each region, innovators in the national food justice movement and WhyHunger staff for three days of networking and training in community organizing tools.

Long Term Recovery: In the aftermath of national disasters like Hurricane Isaac and Hurricane Sandy, WhyHunger’s National Hunger Hotline 1-866-3-HUNGRY fielded calls from hundreds of families affected by the storms, connecting them with emergency food assistance, government programs and support in their communities to ensure they get the resources they need for today and the support to get back on their feet for tomorrow. In 2012, WhyHunger provided funds and support to many of our long time partners in the Tri-State area that have been on the front lines, providing food, water and critical services to their neighbors in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and working on long-term recovery.

Food Sovereignty Prize: For the first time, WhyHunger hosted the annual Food Sovereignty Prize ceremony to spotlight grassroots activists working for a more democratic food system. The ceremony was held in New York City and featured musician and activist Tom Morello: The Nightwatchman and UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food Olivier De Schutter, along with Prize honorees from South Korea, Sri Lanka, Honduras and the U.S. The event drew an audience of almost 400, with a live stream viewed around the world, active social media engagement and press coverage from The Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone and others. Though the annual prize began in 2009 as an alternative to the World Food Prize, 2012 marked the first time it has successfully been integrated into the mainstream discussion of hunger solutions.

“Imagine There’s No Hunger” & New Year’s Eve:Our ongoing partnership with Hard Rock International and Yoko Ono Lennon raised $275,000 in 2012 through the sale of “Imagine” wristbands in Hard Rock Cafes around the world. Launched at a large scale media event in NYC and culminating as the official charity partner of Times Square New Year’s Eve, the “Imagine” campaign reached new heights this year engaging millions of supporters, activating dozens of artist partners and changing the fate of hungry children though sustainable agriculture. In 2012, donations raised throughout the campaign supported grassroots organizations in seventeen countries, feeding 10,000 children and their families and providing children, families and communities with training in sustainable food production to increase their ability to provide for themselves into the future.

2012 WhyHunger National GatheringPhoto by: Michael Hanson

It is with great excitement that the learning and sharing during WhyHunger’s Community Learning Project, has given tools to assess the current culture for food, economic and health justice in our region. It is not only a process of stepping back to assess and move forward, it has been vital to learn face to face and hands on…that has given me clarity on the geography and positioning of the movement in our region that is invaluable for the strong steps forward that are being planned about.”

— Cesar Lopez Organic Farmer and Community Organizer, Southern, AZ

My partnership with WhyHunger through the “Imagine There’s No Hunger” campaign enhances my work because they continue to invest not only funds but by really participating and staying involved to assure we collectively end hunger from the roots up.”

— Michael Judd Project Bona Fide, Nicaragua

What was most useful to me about the Harry Chapin Self-Reliance Award Networking Day was having a space to express, listen, learn and grow- to see clearly how we are truly the solution we have been looking for.”
