Dear Friends,
In fiscal year 2014, we experienced a time of collaboration and innovation at Feed the Children. We renewed our
commitment to do more together so that no child ever goes to bed hungry. The results were powerful.
Banding together with committed donors and visionary partners, we gave over $344 million in food, other
necessities, educational supplies, and medicine, impacting close to 9 million individuals in the U.S. and over 4.9
million individuals internationally, for a total of 13.9 million individuals globally.
None of this would have been possible without the help of you—
•
•
•
•
•
Generous donors who believe that we can end childhood hunger
Experts who diagnose the problem and innovate solutions
Unified partner organizations pooling their resources and expertise
Thriving local communities working together towards sustainable success
Leaders fighting to institutionalize change
With your help, we are pioneering programs that bring together the strength of both public and private partners.
We are building one of the fastest-growing child-sponsorship programs in the world. Your committed sponsorship
supported over 11,500 children in 2014, and we are adding new child sponsors every day.
Most importantly, millions of children’s lives are impacted by the work that Feed the Children does every day.
Children have been fed, cared for, educated, and—most importantly—shown that they matter.
It takes the power of many standing with children to fight childhood hunger. Thank you for uniting with us this year.
Thank you for committing to fight childhood hunger, not because it is easy, but because it is the right thing to do.
We are ready to take hold of the momentum built in fiscal year 2014, and to see even more success in fiscal year
2015. We invite you to stand with us to end hunger—one child at a time.
Thank you,
The Feed the Children Board

distributed 106 million pounds of food and necessities valued at $266
million to close to 9 million people in the United States.
• Total number of people impacted – close to 9 million
SUMMER FEEDING PROGRAM
For many children in the United States, school meals are the only
consistent food they get in a day. When the school year ends, so
do school lunches. Without school meals, kids across America go
hungry every summer.
In June 2014, Feed the Children launched the Summer Food &
Education Program (SFEP). The program combined Feed the
Children’s logistics and transportation experience with the support
of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Summer Food Service
Program. Through the SFEP, Feed the Children served approximately
195,000 meals with the help of public funds and private partners
to children at 11 sites throughout Oklahoma. With the help of our
partners, Feed the Children provided 900 backpacks and school
supplies and 19,760 books to children in the program. We were even
able to send groceries to hungry families on days when children
could not reach the meal sites in person.

“We at Really Big Coloring Books, Inc. were honored when Feed
the Children selected us last year to help with the Summer
Food and Education program. We created a coloring book to
help children understand the food groups and to help them
understand and make healthier food choices. The coloring
book is great for children of all ages—even small children
who cannot read can learn from the pictures. We value our
relationship with Feed the Children and look forward to
growing our partnership over the years to come.”
Kenneth Rich
Chief Operating Officer

“Across the U.S., millions of children struggle with hunger,
especially during summer months when free or reduced-price
school meals aren’t available. The problem is particularly
acute in Oklahoma, the state ranking last in serving summer
meals, with only 6.7% of its 300,000 young residents getting
the food they need at this particularly vulnerable time. PepsiCo
works to support and strengthen the health of communities
where we live and work. That’s why we’re proud to pair our
food and beverage delivery expertise with Feed the Children’s
established leadership in the fight against childhood hunger to
serve the children of Oklahoma.”

HEALTH & WATER
Feed the Children provides safe drinking water
to Guatemalan families. Latrines are built in
schools and community centers, children are
taught proper hand washing, and are provided
health care. Parents are also taught how to treat
their drinking water and improve hygiene in
the home to protect their children from harmful
parasites, diarrhea, and malnutrition. Our goal is
to more than double the amount of eneficiaries
supported through the planned introduction of
WASH promotion (i.e., washing hands with soap)
through Care Groups projects.

| EDUCATION
Education is one of the best ways to help children escape poverty. Feed the Children helps children attend and finish school by
distributing backpacks to homeless children and offering free books and supplies to educators through our Teacher Stores.
Since the launch of Feed the Children’s Homeless Education and Literacy Program (H.E.L.P.), we have distributed over 772,000
backpacks to American children who are homeless. H.E.L.P. provided close to 65,000 backpacks to children in fiscal year 2014
alone.
Feed the Children operates 3 Teacher Stores—located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Elkhart, Indiana; and LaVergne,
Tennessee—which offer free school materials and books to educators in Title I schools in all three states and a portion of
Michigan. In fiscal year 2014, Feed the Children hosted 18,000 teacher visits and gave away over $5 million in teaching supplies
and over 575,000 books, benefiting more than 397,000 students across 105 school districts.

| ADVOCACY
At Feed the Children, advocacy educates, elevates conversations, and promotes policies to address the systemic issues of
hunger and poverty. We seek to be a voice for the voiceless, and to partner with government agencies already engaged in
similar work both in the U.S. and around the world.
Feed the Children focuses on strategic policy reform and collaboration to end hunger in America, with a focus on the Federal
Agricultural Reform & Risk Management Bill (FARRM), the Food & Education Oasis, the Child Reauthorization Act, and the
Summer Food & Education Program.
FEDERAL AGRICULTURAL REFORM AND RISK MANAGEMENT BILL (FARRM)
In 2014, Feed the Children successfully advocated against a reduction in spending with the FARRM bill, which authorizes
and assigns federal funds to such programs as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as
Food Stamps.
FOOD & EDUCATION OASIS
Feed the Children laid the groundwork for a community grocery store—the Food and Education Oasis—in the Lower
Ninth Ward of New Orleans. The store will launch in 2015 and is designed and funded through federal grants like the Food
Insecurity Nutrition Incentive, created in lieu of the reduction in SNAP funding. The Food and Education Oasis will fill a
needed gap for New Orleans and will provide residents a store that maximizes and highlights the use of SNAP benefits.
CHILD NUTRITION REAUTHORIZATION ACT
In 2014, we advocated and educated members of congress and their staffs on the importance of passing the Child Nutrition
Reauthorization Act (CNR). The CNR authorizes federal funds to be assigned to such child nutrition programs as National
School Lunch, School Breakfast, Summer Food Service, and the Women’s Infants and Children program (WIC).
SUMMER FOOD & EDUCATION PROGRAM
Feed the Children cultivated a strong relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Food and Nutrition
Services (FNS) to launch the Summer Food & Education Program, serving 195,000 meals at 11 sites.

| DISASTER RELIEF
At Feed the Children, we work day in and day out to help create a world where no child goes to bed hungry. When natural
disasters strike, we also mobilize quickly to provide immediate aid to affected communities. Working with our local partners,
we make sure children and families impacted by natural disasters have the food and necessities they need to survive.
In fiscal year 2014, Feed the Children distributed over $11.6 million worth of food and other necessities to disaster-affected
regions around the world, including $9.6 million of domestic disaster relief and $2 million of international disaster relief. Feed
the Children delivered nearly 3,340 disaster pallets to those affected by natural disasters in fiscal year 2014 alone.

| DISTRIBUTION EVENTS
Feed the Children can’t fight poverty alone. We need the help of public and private partners. Together with companies like
PepsiCo-Frito Lay and Teleperformance, we were able to provide food to hungry children and families in the U.S. and around
the world. One of the most tangible ways that our partners contribute is through food-distribution events. Through these
events, our corporate partners give free food and other necessities to hundreds of people at a time.
