THIS YEAR SAW A CONTINUED INCREASE IN THE DEMAND FOR SERVICES. FOR THE FIRST TIME WE DISTRIBUTED OVER 1,000,000 POUNDS - 1,252,796 POUNDS TO BE EXACT. WE SERVED APPROXIMATELY 58,000 INDIVIDUALS (DUPLICATED), AN INCREASE OF 72% COMPARED TO 2022-2023. APPROXIMATELY 34% OF THOSE SERVED ARE CHILDREN AND 7% ARE SENIOR CITIZENS. OUR FOOD SHELF IS SET UP AS A CHOICE-MODEL AND HAS RECENTLY TRANSITIONED TO A SUPERSHELF. INDIVIDUALS MAKE APPOINTMENTS AND CHOOSE FROM A VARIETY OF FOOD THAT FITS THEIR DIETARY, CULINARY, AND CULTURAL NEEDS. FOOD THAT IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE INCLUDES FRESH AND NON-PERISHABLE PRODUCE, DAIRY, PROTEINS, AND GRAINS. ON AVERAGE, FAMILIES RECEIVE APPROXIMATELY 20-25 POUNDS OF FOOD PER INDIVIDUAL. SHOPPERS ARE WELCOME TO VISIT TWO TIMES PER MONTH. IF ADDITIONAL FOOD IS NEEDED IN BETWEEN, WE ALSO HAVE EMERGENCY BAGS. THE SUPERSHELF PROGRAM IS GROUNDED IN THE VALUES OF GOOD FOOD, RESPECT FOR ALL, AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES. WE RECEIVED OUR SUPERSHELF CERTIFICATION TWO YEARS AGO AND ARE FOLLOWING ITS SIX-STEP METHODOLOGY BASED ON BEHAVIOR ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES. WE HAVE REORGANIZED OUR SPACE AND RECEPTION AREA, PAINTED THE GROCERY AREA IN BRIGHT AND WELCOMING COLORS, PURCHASED NEW FREEZERS, AND PAINTED SHELVING. AN ATTRACTIVE FRUIT AND VEGETABLE AREA IS FEATURED. THESE CHANGES ARE HELPING TO MAKE US MORE CLIENT-CENTERED WHILE ALSO PROVIDING A DIGNIFIED EXPERIENCE IN A GROCERY-STORE LIKE ENVIRONMENT.OUR FOOD RESCUE PROGRAM IS A CLIMATE-FRIENDLY OPTION IN SUPPORT OF OUR FOOD SERVICES. VOLUNTEERS COLLECT FOOD THAT WOULD OTHERWISE GO TO WASTE FROM LOCAL BUSINESSES. ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES PAST ITS "BEST BY" DATE, THIS FOOD STILL ADHERES TO USDA GUIDELINES FOR FOOD SAFETY. RESCUING AND USING IT NOT ONLY CURBS FOOD INSECURITY BUT ALSO REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF DANGEROUS GREENHOUSE GASES CREATED BY DECAYING ORGANIC WASTE IN MINNESOTA'S LANDFILLS. 475935 361677 0 IN JULY 2023, WE OPENED AN ADDITIONAL FOOD SHELF LOCATION IN COLOGNE, MN. DUE TO THIS YEAR'S INCREASED DEMAND, WE INCREASED OUR HOURS TO BE OPEN THREE DAYS A WEEK (3-HOUR SHIFTS). THIS FOOD SHELF IS MARKETED TOWARDS INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES LIVING IN THE CITY OF COLOGNE AS WELL AS THOSE LIVING IN THE HANCOCK, BENTON, SAN FRANCISCO, AND DAHLGREN TOWNSHIPS. NEIGHBORS FROM SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES WELCOME AS WELL. 144316 0 0 OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH MI CASA HAS OPENED OUR FOOD SHELF FOR ADDITIONAL HOURS EACH WEEK TO SPECIFICALLY CATER TO THE LATINE POPULATION. WITH THE SUPPORT OF BOUNTIFUL BASKET STAFF, MI CASA STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS MANAGE THE FOOD SHELF ON CERTAIN EVENINGS, INCLUDING SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS, GREETING FAMILIES, AND ASSISTING THEM THROUGH THEIR SHOPPING EXPERIENCE. ADDITIONALLY, THEY HELP INDIVIDUALS IDENTIFY OTHER COMMUNITY RESOURCES. THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN SERVING 30-50 FAMILIES IN A THREE-HOUR PERIOD, AND WE ARE NOW SEEING MANY MORE LATINE INDIVIDUALS COMING TO OUR FOOD SHELF DURING NORMAL HOURS OF OPERATION AS WELL. 42988 0 0 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH VOLUNTEERS, SOUTHWEST TRANSIT, CARVER COUNTY, AND NEW BEGINNINGS, FOOD IS DELIVERED TO INDIVIDUALS WHO, FOR VARIOUS REASONS, CANNOT VISIT OUR FOOD SHELF. VOLUNTEERS BRING FOOD TO SENIOR RESIDENTS AT TWO LOCAL SENIOR APARTMENT BUILDINGS EVERY MONTH. THERE IS A SPECIFIC PROGRAM FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE HOMELESS AND LIVING IN NEARBY MOTELS. THAT FOOD IS CONVENIENT TO EAT AND DOES NOT REQUIRE A FULL KITCHEN TO PREPARE. FOOD IS BROUGHT TO YOUNG MOMS WHO ATTEND THE NEW BEGINNINGS PROGRAM. THIS FOOD IS FOR THEIR OWN CONSUMPTION AND TO LEARN HOW TO COOK THROUGH CLASS PROGRAMMING. 42988 0 0 3070549 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 MN X STACEY DOUVILLE 9525560244 1600 BAVARIA ROAD CHASKA MN 55318 JOAN NELSON CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ANNELIESE MAYER VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 SCOTT DAKE TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 TAMI NORTON SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DUNCAN CHOWDHURY MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 KELLY KNUTSON MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 BARB PAGE MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 SYDNEY WOLF MEMBER (THRU 9/24) 1.00 X 0 0 0 PATTI SINYKIN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 89505 0 7984 89505 0 7984 0 0 0 0 0 15646 47590 3152578 2594817 3215814 51820 51820 9923 15646 14849 -4926 -4926 3262708 0 0 46894 2581571 2581571 110484 28016 82468 103476 103476 18143 10752 7391 25500 25500 34332 23360 10972 1873 1873 104610 76833 27777 10175 2903 7272 13627 13627 1441 1441 8379 8379 FOOD 211250 211250 VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION 6574 6574 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE 2367 2367 3233802 3070549 137753 25500 1278492 1262587 2795 5453 0 69647 0 16061 13420 0 0 13420 100 100 1281387 1367268 24801 24639 24801 24639 X 1256586 1342629 0 0 0 0 1256586 1342629 1281387 1367268 28906 57137 0 X 0 0 0 X 789195 754237 712690 2048693 3215814 7520629 789195 754237 712690 2048693 3215814 7520629 1173026 6347603 72 10335 51820 62227 7582856 0.83710 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 13420 13420 13420 X X X X X 1 AMPLIFY DMC 1375 ST ANTHONY AVE SUITE 201 ST PAUL MN 55104 GRANT PROSPECTING AND WRITING SERVICES 0 10757 25500 -14743 10757 25500 -14743 MN SILENT AUCTION 25569 15646 9923 13246 1603 25569 15646 9923 13246 1603 14849 -4926 1 FOOD SHELF ASSISTANCE 58797 2581571 FMV OF DONATED FOOD BOUNTIFUL BASKET RECEIVES DONATIONS OF FOOD FROM THE VARIOUS GROCERY STORES.
