Messages from the Chair and Executive DirectorYour commitment to Second Harvest Heartland is vital to hunger reliefefforts in our community. As we share the work of Second Harvest Heartland inthis annual report, please know that none of it would be possible without thededication and contributions of our many stakeholders.Donors, agencies, volunteers, staff and board members have workedtirelessly to feed more hungry people. All of this has been accomplished in themidst of moving from merger planning to implementation.New possibilities and opportunities to support our community abound.Dedicated staff is working to streamline the two food banks. Our agenciesremain on the front line, meeting the needs of people in the cities, suburbs andrural communities in western Wisconsin and half of Minnesota. Donations offood and dollars are being used in new and creative ways to support and strengthen the mission of SecondHarvest Heartland.On behalf of all of our stakeholders, to all of our stakeholders, thank you for making effective hungerrelief possible. There is much to celebrate; yet there is more to be done. With your support, our seniorswill remain healthy, our children will grow to be strong and nutritious food will not go to waste.I thank you in advance for your continued support of Second Harvest Heartland.Michael Griffin, Chairman of the Board of DirectorsIt is with humble respect for my predecessors, the Reverend Richard (Dick)Goebel and Cheryl Landgre, that I take on the awesome responsibility for feeding the hungry today while working to end hunger for a better tomorrow. Dickand Cheryl's tenure as founder/directors of the Second Harvest Food Banks ofSt. Paul and Greater Minneapolis ended in 2001, but their dedicated servicehas left a legacy that will endure far into the future in the newly merged SecondHarvest Heartland.2001 was a year of unparalleled innovation by the two Boards of Directorsand their staffs as they worked through the myriad of details that led to themerger votes in June and the official merger on October 1. They had greatexpectations as they poured through documents and participated in endlessmeetings. Their goals are very clear: more food for the hungry and a stronger public voice to combathunger.We are all faced with the paradox of the existence of hunger in the richest country in the world. We arelearning more about the devastating mental, emotional and physical impact that poor nutrition has on ourchildren. We hear of our older citizens faced with the impossible choice of buying food or purchasingneeded prescription drugs. We see the faces of frightened adults who have lost their jobs and need to turnto food shelves for the first time in their lives in order to feed their families. And we know that we have workto do.Second Harvest Heartland is blessed with dedicated donors, volunteers, agencies, board members andstaff. The tasks ahead may at times be daunting, but taken one at a time and spread across the manywilling hands, we will accomplish the goals and fulfill the vision that we share with America's Second Harvestof realizing a hunger-free nation. Your on-going involvement is needed and deeply appreciated.R. Jane Brown, Executive Director
