Hungry for summer...

...should mean kids anticipating carefree summer


days. But for too many kids, it means a long, hungry
summer. Right here in America, nearly 1 out of
every 4 kids struggles with hunger; and when school
is out, kids miss out on school meals. Share Our
Strength makes sure kids get the summer meals they
need to stay healthy. NO KID HUNGRY. Help make
it happen by donating today at ab`S\UbV]`U
In the world’s wealthiest nation, no child should grow up hungry,
yet nearly 17 million children in America struggle with hunger.
That’s almost one in four kids whose families lack the means to
put enough nutritious food on the table every day. These kids
simply don’t have the food they need to thrive.

In an average month of 2009, a record 34.7 million Americans


received SNAP (food stamp) benefits. Half of them were
children. Food banks reported an unprecedented 30 percent
increase in service demand between the summers of 2008 and
2009. In some communities, the increase was nearly 50 percent,
and across the nation, demand continues to outstrip supply.

The funds raised through Share Our Strength’s Taste of the


Nation® events are more critical than ever. Even as our economy
progresses in what promises to be a slow recovery, the need for
food assistance will remain high and budgets will remain tight for
many organizations that are fighting hunger in our communities.

Share Our Strength’s Taste of the Nation is the nation’s premier


culinary benefit dedicated to making sure no child grows up
hungry. This year, funds raised through Taste of the Nation will
support No Kid Hungry™, Share Our Strength’s campaign to end
childhood hunger in America by 2015, and continue Taste of the
Nation’s long legacy of fundraising to fight hunger. Since 1988,
Taste of the Nation has mobilized thousands of volunteers, raised
more than $73 million, and funded more than 1,000 of the most
effective anti-hunger organizations. It is held in nearly 40 cities
across the United States and Canada, and attracts thousands of
attendees each year.

Thanks to our national sponsors American Express, Sysco, Food


Network, Brown-Forman Corporation, S.Pellegrino Sparkling
Natural Mineral Water and Stella Artois, and the commitment
of thousands of local sponsors and volunteers, 100 percent of
all ticket sales supports Share Our Strength’s efforts to end
childhood hunger. With your support, we have helped enroll
many more eligible children in school breakfast, after-school
and summer meal programs, and their families in SNAP. We
have brought community gardens and farmers markets to
low-income neighborhoods, and helped urban corner stores
find ways to provide a wider variety of affordable, fresh foods
to their customers. We have taught at-risk families how to plan,
shop for and prepare healthy, low-cost meals at home, and have
helped local food pantries, food banks and soup kitchens meet
their pressing demands. And by your very presence here tonight,
you are helping us spread the word about childhood hunger in
America, and how we can end it.

Thank you for helping us make sure that every child gets the
nutritious food they need to live healthy, active lives. Thank you
for sharing your strength in the fight to end childhood hunger.

Sincerely,

BILL SHORE
FOUNDER, SHARE OUR STRENGTH
generosity served here.

American Express congratulates Share Our Strength


on another successful year offi ghting childhood hunger and
is proud of our 19-year partnership with Taste of the® Nation
chefs, restaurants, and volunteers.

Dear Taste Guests,

Welcome to Share Our Strength’s Taste of the Nation San Francisco,


2010.

We know that there are many worthwhile causes to support in general


and here in San Francisco and we thank you for choosing to make
Share our Strength one of them. Your attendance tonight truly makes a
difference.

Food insecurity is a massive problem in the United States right now and
it disproportionately affects children. Often, it is unclear when or where
a child’s next meal will be. Share our Strength is focused on creating
programs and policies that will ensure that no kid in America grows up
hungry. In fact, SOS’s audacious goal is to create a hunger-free
generation by 2015, and, with your assistance, we are making
tremendous progress in achieving that.

Tonight would not have been possible without the many individuals and
organizations that are participating. A huge thank you goes to our
national and local sponsors; the chefs, bartenders and wine makers, who
have donated their time and goods; and the numerous in-kind
donations that we are all enjoying here tonight. With their generosity,
100 percent of your ticket tonight is going toward the war against
hunger.

The proceeds of tonight’s events go to three local beneficiaries:


Children of Shelters, Foodrunners and Playworks, each of which are
working to ensure that food insecure children get enough to eat here in
the Bay Area.

We want to extend a huge thank you to our amazing planning


committee for their tireless efforts over the last nine months to make this
event a reality. We wouldn’t be here without all of their hard work.

So, eat, drink and enjoy your evening, and, know how much we
appreciate your generosity.

Warmly,
Sharon Goldstein and Jodi Zwiebach

About Share Our Strength
Share Our Strength® is a national organization dedicated to ensuring that no kid in
America grows up hungry. We weave together a net of community groups, activists and
food programs to catch children facing hunger and surround them with nutritious food
where they live, learn and play. Share Our Strength makes a difference in the following
ways:

We raise funds through our pioneering culinary events and award grants to support
successful organizations across the country that work to provide children and their
families with the healthy food they need. Since our inception in 1984, we have raised
more than $265 million and provided support to more than 1,000 of the most effective
hunger-relief organizations around the globe.

We partner with leading corporations through strategic marketing programs that engage
their customers, employees and partners around the issue of ending childhood hunger in
America.

We award grants to organizations throughout the country whose efforts and successes
align with the 10 points of our national plan to end childhood hunger.

We convene partnerships with effective, influential non-profits that develop their own
plans modeled after Share Our Strength’s national plan to end childhood hunger. 

We provide education programming through Share Our Strength’s Operation


Frontline, our awarding winning nutrition education program that teaches families how to
prepare healthy, low-cost meals.

All of this work supports our strategy to end childhood hunger in America.

About Taste of the Nation


Share Our Strength’s Taste of the Nation is the nation’s premier culinary benefit
dedicated to ending childhood hunger in America.

Proceeds from Taste of the Nation San Francisco support the following three Bay Area
organizations:

Children of Shelters provides for the educational, physical and emotional needs of the
estimated 4,000 children living in or being served by transitional shelters in San Francisco
(www.cos-sf.org).

Food Runners helps to alleviate hunger in San Francisco collecting perishable and
prepared food from businesses and delivering it directly to shelters and neighborhood
programs that feed the hungry. Food Runners is currently delivering approximately 10
tons of food a week that would otherwise be thrown away (www.foodrunners.org).

Playworks is a national nonprofit organization that supports learning by providing safe,


healthy and inclusive play and physical activity to schools at recess and throughout the
entire school day (www.playworks.org).
