Helping Hand

Executive Summary

Helping Hand is a tax-exempt not-for-profit food bank that serves all of Johnson County, Washington.  Helping Hand’s goal is to alleviate hunger in Johnson County by soliciting, collecting, growing, and packaging food for distribution through a network of service agencies and programs that serve our target population groups.  Our services include food box programs, emergency food programs, and a youth farm that provides opportunities for self-sufficiency activities for “at risk” youth.  Helping Hand receives support from the county, charitable organizations and corporate sponsorship.

Approximately 20% of Johnson County residents qualify for assistance from Helping Hand.  Our client base is low-income people, mainly families, who need emergency help to put food on the table.  Nearly half of those served by the program are children.  Helping Hand operates a warehouse facility where we store donated or rescued food for distribution.  The program actively solicits food from local food growers, retailers, wholesalers, and processors.  In addition, Helping Hand collect food donations from restaurants for immediate distribution to service programs.

It is estimated that the number of children who need services from Helping Hand will increase during the next five years.  Johnson County is growing and a number of new families are entering the area to look for employment.  A number of programs exist to help transition these new families into the county.  Helping Hand is an important resource to these programs because we can respond quickly with the one of the most important resources these families need. Food!

Our services improves the ability of families to care for children and achieve goals of self-sufficiency. Helping Hand’s services, now, are a small investment in comparison to cost of ignoring the problem of hunger in the county and the influence it has on a number of health and crime issues.

Strategy and Implementation Summary

Helping Hand will focus on establishing an effective collection network with local growers, retailers, wholesalers, and processors.  Another primary goal will be the creation of a youth farm that will employ “at risk” youth.  The program will also start a fundraising campaign with area retail markets, banks and credit unions in order to raise an additional $100,000.

Helping Hand will advertise its services to the target populations groups through the agencies that serve these groups on a daily basis.

5.1 Marketing Strategy

Helping Hand’s marketing program will focus on increasing its visibility in the community. Participating food retail stores will carry information about Helping Hand and how stores like this one are helping the community.  Award plaques will be distributed to stores each year and the program will find additional methods to raise the profile of stores that assist the program. 

Program brochures will be distributed by local social service programs and agencies that serve the target population groups.  In addition, these programs and agencies will serve as advocates of using Helping Hand in response to the need for emergency food. 

5.2 Fundraising Strategy

Helping Hand will immediately start a Fall Fundraising campaign that will focus on using the local banks and credit unions to collect donations to fight hunger. Typically, food drives are started in October and November. Helping Hand will place donation bins in participating banks and credit union. In addition, customers in local retail food stores can donate money to Helping Hand at the checkout stand.

5.2.1 Funding Forecast

Helping Hand’s monthly revenues for the 2002-2003 calendar year will fluctuate based on the seasons.  During Fall the program will have its major fundraiser.  The summer months are anticipated to be weak food collection months.

The following are Helping Hand’s fundraising and food collection programs:

Food Collection (FC)
Participating retailers, wholesalers, and processors will donate food stuffs. These contributors will contribute donations of a monthly basis.

Fill the Bucket (FtB)
Each Fall, Helping Hand will run a fundraiser through local banks and credit union.  Small containers that will look like the larger Helping Hand food bins will sit at the counter of each teller.

Food Rescue Express (FRE)
Helping Hand will collect donated food from local restaurants to be immediately distributed to programs in the area that will in turn distribute the food to their clients.

Gleaning
Harvest leftovers and unsold produce from farmers’ fields will be collected by Helping Hand.  Every year thousands of pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables are left to rot or get tilled under the field.  Gleaning reduces waste while feeding people.  Helping Hand actually recruits gleaning crews from the local support program.

Youth Farm (YF)
The youth farm utilizes kids in diversion program or local program serving “at risk” kids to provide a learning environment that turn these kids life around.  The produce is sold by the youth farm crew members at a on-site produce stand.  All proceeds are used to support Helping Hand programs.
