As an essential service, our staff and volunteers never paused their work on the front lines. Their selflessness and dedication were on display right from the start as they feverishly reconstructed every aspect of program delivery. Sometimes multiple times in one day! After each food distribution, we debriefed: how could we do better? Keep people safer? Store more food, pack more food, get healthier food out faster? Our partners and our community--who are always supportive-- stepped up in some unique and amazing ways, helping us reach hundreds of people who found themselves in need of our services for the first time. We worked with an array of pop-up pantries in and around our community lending a helping hand or logistical advice, deploying extra food or volunteers, so that no one fell through the cracks. We deepened our community outreach and advocacy to encourage legislators to increase public funding for hungry families in desperate need. Through it all, we’ve remained focused on the four pillars of our organization: Hunger Relief, Nutrition and Wellness, Sustainable Food Solutions, and Hunger Free Communities. STAY CONNECTED: @GoBeyondHunger @GoBeyondHunger @GoBeyondHunger @GoBeyondHunger www.GoBeyondHunger.org Harnessing the power of communities to end hunger. Board of Directors


Direct Hunger Relief OPRF Food Pantry • Summer Meals • Home Delivery • Food4Thought When the pandemic hit, we acted fast. Our main goal was to keep our guests and volunteers safe, so we moved our food pantry operations outside to a drive-through model. Volunteers now load boxes of food directly into car trunks--over 75 pounds (62+ meals!) of fresh produce, pantry staples, toilet paper--even toothpaste and reusable masks. For those without cars, a pedestrian pantry offers a socially distanced shopping experience for participants to select their own food. We never stopped serving our community with dignity. Throughout these pandemic months, we’ve remained laser focused on nutrition, knowing that now more than ever people need the healthiest food possible. Our Home Delivery program has served vulnerable community members for years. But when the pandemic hit, the defi nition of vulnerability changed. Whereas before only individuals who were physically unable to leave their homes participated in this program, we immediately saw the need of people whose health or age made leaving home dangerous. So, within two weeks, and through the power of strong partnerships, we tripled the number of people enrolled in Home Delivery—a level of service that will continue into the future. “Again and again as I’ve asked if there’s anything you want to tell us about our program, clients have also told me how much they appreciate the deliveries and the volunteers.” – Natalie, Tyson Summer Intern Tripled Home Delivery Traffi c Changes “Came by for the fi rst time today, and we are just shocked with the amount of food we unloaded from the car. I was blown away by all the fresh fruits and vegetables. Thank you so much” - Darrel “I was grateful to continue offering assistance to people over the phone throughout the pandemic when we weren’t able meet in person. I missed connecting with people though, and I am thankful to see them in person again. The masks and barrier help to keep us both safe while allowing us to personally connect. And some services can only be completed in person. I hope we’ll be able to continue to meet in person. But at least we have the tools to operate remotely if needed.” – Amanda, Social Services Coordinator Coalition Building • Advocacy • Financial Literacy • Social Services Hunger Free Communities It’s About Connection Our Social Services team remains focused on connecting more individuals to resources that can end hunger permanently for their households.


Contributions from Beyond Hunger’s “Grow-A-Row” community of schools, congregations, and backyard gardens tripled! Sustainable Food Surplus Project • Rescue Program • Grow-a-Row • Farmers Market Double Bucks Week after week, volunteers pick up fresh produce and other products as part of our rescue relationship with area grocers. Fortunately, our food rescue partners never stopped contributing to Beyond Hunger, even as food distribution channels became uncertain throughout the pandemic. In fact, as lockdown approached, the store manager from the Oak Park Trader Joe’s reached out personally to let us know that they would continue donating goods-- even with national food shortages. And it isn’t just rescued food that makes a big impact. Rescued fl owers continue to bring a spark of joy when each pantry family can choose a fresh bouquet during many of our distributions. Growing Commitment Nutrition Education • Cooking Classes • Grocery Store Tours • Health Screenings Nutrition & Wellness One thing our Nutrition Education team knows for sure: preparing and breaking bread together creates a special sense of community. So, when in-person cooking classes became impossible, the team quickly got to work offering virtual programming to keep those vital connections. A series of Facebook Live Cooking demonstrations was coupled with monthly recipe-focused e-newsletters. Dietitians and interns came to food pantry distributions just to greet people and remind them they were here. Recently, Zoom Cooking Classes have been a welcome way to connect with pantry families. “Everyone was delighted to see each other.” remarked Maria Delis after the first Zoom class, “We’ve all really missed the opportunity to be together.” Cooking Classes Go Virtual! “This seemed like the perfect way for me to give back. She was especially happy to get the fl owers. She didn’t expect it and it brought a tear to her eyes.” - Amelia, picking up for a friend
