Fiscal Year 2023 Annual Report In a world that can feel fragmented and divided, Beyond Hunger remains a steadfast beacon of connected community. This year, as we reflect on the invaluable support we receive from our generous donors and volunteers, we are reminded that we are not just feeding people; we are connecting communities for a hunger-free future. Over the past year, we have witnessed a remarkable surge in the number of regular visitors to our food pantry—people who shop more than 6 times a year. Last year that represented only 13% of guests; this year it is 25%. In part the rise represents increased need. But people tell us it is also a matter of trust—in our services, the quality of our work, and the welcoming atmosphere that reflects the deep connections we have established. These connections are not possible without support from you. Notably, this growing number of visitors encompasses a diverse range of individuals, including those who haven’t visited in many years, long-time guests, people who are currently unhoused, and those who are in the process of seeking asylum. We stand firm in our commitment to harness the power of communities to end hunger for all. The individuals coming to Beyond Hunger are more than just clients; they have become an integral part of our organization, and we are honored to serve alongside them. Initiatives like our Home Delivery and Health Ambassadors programs you’ll read about inside highlight the inherent dignity and value of listening to people who have direct experience with food insecurity. As our clientele increases, the quality of our services is unwavering. Participants can count on produce being fresh and seasonal. They know they can talk to a dietitian or obtain help in accessing federal benefits. They know they are valued members of our community. Our mission—harnessing the power of communities—is more than a motto; with your help, it is a living reality. With gratitude always, Harnessing the power of communities to end hunger.

Centering the voices of people within the communities we serve is integral to our values. As a result of that centering, we learned our Austin neighbors were deeply concerned with gaining better access to nutrition education— and so, our train-the-trainer Health Ambassadors Program was created. Health Ambassadors undergo comprehensive training in nutrition education, cooking skills, and diabetes management. They receive a stipend to conduct outreach and host healthy eating and diabetes management workshops in the community. Beyond Hunger has now graduated 12 Health Ambassadors who are already making a difference by addressing community need. In October, the Nutrition Education team hosted our first in-person cooking class since the pandemic. Health Ambassador Patty taught attendees how to read food labels— identifying and defining important nutrients in common grocery store items. Her expertise was appreciated, as one attendee reported: A Community Learning Together “Patty is very knowledgeable. This kind of thing isn’t easy to teach, and it’s not like they taught us how to look at the food we buy in school. It’s nice to hear from someone who knows what they’re talking about.” Community-driven initiatives such as the Health Ambassadors program remind us that the effort to end hunger is a collective one. The passion our Health Ambassadors show, and the care they have for their communities, is nothing short of inspiring. We are deeply grateful for their dedication and the positive impact they continue to make in fulfilling our shared mission to end hunger, one community at a time. A pillar of the Austin Community, Tracey Showers was also an avid participant in Beyond Hunger’s nutrition education programming. She was a founding member of the Client Advisory Council and an inaugural Health Ambassador, helping chart a framework for both programs that valued the wisdom of people with lived experience of hunger. Always looking for ways to improve life for everyone, Tracey channeled her passion for food and nutrition security into advocating for change locally and nationally. With her infectious enthusiasm and commitment to community outreach, Tracey embodied Beyond Hunger’s mission: harnessing the power of communities to end hunger.

Homebound older adults and individuals with disabilities can be particularly vulnerable to hunger due to health and mobility issues. For those unable to visit our Food Pantry themselves, we deliver groceries in Oak Park, River Forest, and the Austin neighborhood of Chicago. No matter the method used for getting folks the food they need, we ensure that groceries bolster the health and well-being of our neighbors. Our Home Delivery program is no exception. Participants receive fresh produce, meat, dairy, pantry staples, and hygienic items each month. In FY2023 we piloted an extension of the Home Delivery program for larger households in Austin, providing a second delivery of produce purchased from local vendors Forty Acres and Dion’s Chicago Dream. In a recent survey, participants report that they are more likely to eat nutritious and healthy foods because of the program, and they feel like their diabetes and other health conditions are more manageable. Reflecting the individualized care that goes into the program—including personal monthly phone calls—participants say they feel more connected to their community. Albert, told us he feels particularly supported by this program: “Retirement has been so fulfilling with Home Delivery. I feel like I can connect to a community outside of the senior center I’m living in.” Bob Haisman was a longtime volunteer and advocate for the mission and work of Beyond Hunger. In 2009, Bob served on the steering committee that established Beyond Hunger (then Oak Park River Forest Food Pantry) as a nonprofit organization. He served on the first Board of Directors, helping establish our governance framework and guiding principles. A social justice warrior, Bob’s deep commitment to ending hunger was the bedrock of his Board service for ten years. His keen perception, persuasive skills, stalwart dedication, and personal charisma were a constant uplift and inspiration. Board president, Donna Myers, remembers; “I will always be grateful for the time I had working with Bob, and I am forever shaped by how he showed up, the perspective he shared, and his kindness to others.” Community Heroes Nourishing Neighbors

Financial Report Fiscal Year 2023 The financial report below indicates both the robust health of Beyond Hunger and the strategic deployment of reserves to meet increased community need. While we maintain a 6-month emergency operating reserve and a fund for deferred facilities requirements, our strategic plan projects further intentional drawing down of reserves over the next three years. Your support helps ensures we are prepared for both our immediate and near-term fiduciary responsibilities.

Thanks to our generous rescue partners, surplus partners, and fresh produce donors, thousands of pounds of food are diverted from landfills and given to our neighbors in need. Grantor Spotlight: Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation (IICF) Support from our grantors is critical to helping us build solutions for hunger and nutrition security. This past year, we have been honored to partner with Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation (IICF) who supported Beyond Hunger through financial gifts and volunteering. Throughout the year, dedicated IICF volunteers have spent their Wednesday afternoons with us helping prep and load boxes during our Pantry distributions. We are truly grateful to work with great organizations like IICF that share our mission and are actively working to end hunger in our communities.
Harnessing the power of communities to end hunger. Nonprofit Organization US Postage Paid Permit #98 Oak Park IL FY2023 Impact In 1979, a compassionate group of Girl Scouts recognized a pressing need to address hunger in their community and responded with action. Starting with nothing but the generosity of their parents and peers, 45 years later, their legacy extends far beyond their original food baskets. With a variety of programs that work to address the root causes of hunger, we strive to expand on our humble roots to create lasting change. In 2024 we will be celebrating those 45 years in a variety of exciting ways so that we can continue to harness the power of communities to end hunger. Stay tuned for more details on how you can join the celebration!
