Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina

Kay’s Message

3

As a na&ve Carolinian, I have to confess that I am proud of our area. I love living here, I love working here, I love the people and I cannot imagine living anywhere else. I believe when most na&ve Carolinians think about our two states, they think of all the good things. They think about beau&ful mountains and beau&ful beaches, great colleges and universi&es, booming technology and banking centers.

Intertwined with everything good about the Carolinas are some pre?y harsh reali&es. I suspect that as a rule people try not to dwell on these reali&es. At the Food Bank we are in the unique posi&on of being confronted by these reali&es on a daily basis.

Part of our responsibility is to help others in the community understand that for many of our neighbors, the reality can be pre?y grim.

The Food Research and Ac&on Council is one of the most respected organiza&ons when it comes to the collec&on of valid sta&s&cal informa&on on hunger and poverty. They recently released their 2010 Food Hardship in America Report. This report focuses on a very simple ques&on and that is how many people in America at one or more points during the past 12 months did not have enough money to provide food for their families.

The results are absolutely staggering. South Carolina had the 4th highest rate of food hardship and North Carolina did not fare much be?er with the 6th highest rate. The average rate of food hardship in the two Carolinas was 23.9%. Imagine that almost 1 in every 4 people in our two states reported having been unable to pay for food for their family at some point in the last 12 months.

When you drill the data down to consider the effect the economy is having on our children, it breaks my heart and it should break everyone’s heart. North and South Carolina both rank in the 10 worst states in the % of children who are lacking food on a regular basis. North Carolina (along with Louisiana) leads the na&on with the highest % of children under 5 years of age who are food insecure on a regular basis. One in every four children under 5 years of age is at high risk of hunger on a regular basis.

I do not have enough space in this message to expound on what that means for the future of these children and the future of the Carolinas. The long term effects of hunger on small children are devasta&ng and when I reflect on these sta&s&cs, I suddenly become less proud. I also become more determined than ever to make a difference for as many of these children as I possibly can.

Summer is headed our way and children will lack access to school meals. This heightens the risk and makes your support more important than ever. Imagine how proud we would all be if every child had enough eat every single day. Please help us help them – they are coun&ng on us.

NASCAR’S MARTIN TRUEX, JR. AND RYAN NEWMAN TEAM UP TO SUPPORT SECOND HARVEST

Thanks to two of NASCAR’s best drivers, hungry children and their pets in Iredell County are being fed. The MarNn Truex, Jr. FoundaNon has provided close to $50,000 to provide 200 backpacks per week to students in need at Troutman Elementary.

The Backpack Program is designed to provide backpacks full of nutriNous food on weekends and holidays when school meals are not available. Second Harvest Food Bank now has backpack programs at 82 different sites in 14 different counNes.

The program at Troutman Elementary is unique among all our backpack sites t h a n k s t o t h e R y a n N ewman FoundaNon. Ryan’s foundaNon focuses on animals and thanks to their parNcipaNon, the children’s four legged family members are also being provided with special “pet packs”.

Each child parNcipaNng in the backpack program who has a cat or dog also receives “pet packs” of food for their animals. This program is being piloted at Troutman with plans to expand the pet component at other backpack sites.

On February 8, 2011, MarNn, Ryan and members of their pit crews and foundaNon staffs arrived at Second Harvest to fill 1,000 backpacks. Thanks to our favorite two NASCAR drivers, we are ending child hunger and pet hunger in Iredell County.




The Mar&n Truex Jr. Founda&on, created in 2007, is “hooked on helping” and dedicated to working with nonprofit charitable o r gan i z a&ons w i th l im i t ed name recogni&on and limited budgets, who strive to posi&vely impact the lives of children in need.

In it’s brief history, the Mar&n Truex Jr. Founda&on has made a major impacted in the lives of thousands of needy children in New Jersey and North Carolina.

The Ryan Newman Founda&on strives to provide philanthropic efforts that will enrich the lives of people and animals throughout the na&on. The mission of the founda&on is to educate and encourage people to spay/neuter their pets and to adopt dogs and cats from animal shelters to educate children and adults about the importance of conserva&on so the beauty of the great outdoors can be appreciated by future genera&ons; and to provide college scholarship funding through the Rich Vogler Scholarship program to students interested in auto racing careers.

IREDELL COUNTY HUNGER FACTS13% of the popula&on in Iredell County lives at or below the poverty level.

This represents almost 21,000 individuals.Almost 7,400 of those living in poverty are children.

This represents 18% of the total children living in Iredell County.

The Food Bank provided over 700,000 pounds of food to agencies feeding the hungry in Iredell County last year.

The Food Bank’s goal is to provide over a million pounds of food to Iredell County this year.
