Harvest Solutions Farm is an innovative component of Second Harvest's strategy to provide food and nutritional security for all in Orange County. With Harvest Solutions Farm, we have strengthened operations and paved the way for a new focus on pursuing
planned nutrition based on consistent access to
fresh protein, produce and dairy —rather than
relying on situational nutrition driven solely by
donations. Our business model now focuses on
the weekly purchase, bulk donation, and now
harvesting of nutritious food.
Harvest Solutions Farm allows Second Harvest to
r7'1
mitigate challenges like rising food prices and
supply chain disruptions. The Farm's location, just
3.6 miles from the Food Bank, greatly reduces the
number of miles trucks drive to deliver ultra -fresh produce to our distribution center and thereby reduces the environmental impact. And, it drastically cuts the time from "farm to plate," providing children, families and seniors in our community with consistent access to the nutrient -dense food that can set them up for success in school, at work, and in life.
Farm Launch: August 2021
Partners: Solutions for Urban Agriculture, led by A.G. Kawamura, Board Chairman and former Secretary of the California Department of Food and Agriculture; and University of California South Coast Research & Extension Center (SCREC).
Location: The Farm is located at SCREC, a 100+ acre agricultural research center in Irvine. The availability of fields for use by Second Harvest Food Bank for Harvest Solutions Farm is based on SCREC's research projects and is revisited semi-annually. Throughout the year, Harvest Solutions Farm encompasses up to 40 acres.
Crop Selection: Crops are selected for Harvest Solutions Farm based on several considerations including:
soil and weather, availability, partner network interest, wide appeal among various cultures and ethnicities, and availability from bulk donation sources.
Crops
First planting in August 2021: 26,000 cabbage transplants Fall/Winter — Cabbage, broccoli, broccolini, cauliflower and spaghetti squash
Spring/Summer —Zucchini, bell peppers, watermelon, honeydew melon, yellow squash and green beans
Volunteer Support: Volunteers are key to the success of Harvest Solutions Farm.
• Volunteer shifts are open to participants 7+ years of age (volunteers 7-17 years old must be accompanied by an adult chaperone) • Volunteer shifts are generally 7:30-11:00am Tuesday through Saturday. During daylight saving time, Tuesday shifts move to 4:00- 6:00pm.
• Volunteer activities include planting, weeding and harvesting. • To date, we have averaged 170 volunteers per week.
"I love volunteering at
Harvest Solutions Farm
because I love being outside.
It's nice to be outdoors in
the quiet and experience the
peacefulness of the farm.
And it's an opportunity to
see first-hand how our
efforts are going toward
feeding people with every
piece of produce we
harvest. " -Steve Z.
Total Pounds: Since the project began, we have harvested almost 5 million pounds of produce for the community.

Partner Distribution: Produce from Harvest Solutions Farm is distributed to our network of over 300 partner sites throughout Orange County.
We will continue to cultivate crops that are used frequently in the community, and we will look to diversify our selection of produce as the project progresses. We are continuing to market our volunteer opportunities to audiences. We hope to inspire other food banks across the nation to use this model as a blueprint for providing fresh, nutritious produce to local communities.

A Beacon in Trying Times
THE CURE FOR ANXIETY AND WORRY
Two and a half years ago, Elizabeth's husband
was diagnosed with progressive, stage four colon
cancer and had to quit his job. Elizabeth also had
to leave her job to become his caregiver, and their
finances became very tight. That's when Elizabeth
found food distributions at Norman P. Murray
Community and Senior Center, a partner within
Second Harvest's valued Partner Network. This
much -needed support is invaluable to the couple;
Elizabeth says, "We have everything we need...
breakfast, lunch, dinner ... and it took away the
worry of 'What are we going to have tomorrow?'
[With my husband's condition] It's so important
that it's healthy. Everything we get is so healthy."
As senior citizens in Orange County, Elizabeth and
her husband are not alone. Financial insecurity is a
growing threat for seniors and, with inflation and
the cost of living increasing, access to food is a
source of stress that Second Harvest is addressing.
'With the help of Second Harvest, it's uplifting. We
have survived because of [Second Harvest] and it's
the generosity of this organization that has helped
us through life, day after day," says Elizabeth.
"With the help of the food and .Second Harvest, we have survived. It's all [so] healthy ... I hope that people [know] that there is help. God bless this organization."

Simply Nourishing: Our
"No Lunch" Lunch
On Tuesday, November 21, among a room full of big-
hearted donors, volunteers, Board members, partners and hard-working employees, we provided a simple yet beautiful lunch. It included salad prepared by Bracken's Kitchen with lettuce grown at Founders Farm as well as soup, compliments of Antonello Ristorante, and served by proprietor Antonio Cagnolo and his team. Antonio has graciously donated the soup and his time since our very first "No Lunch" Lunch in 1984.
This years lunch offered the chance to connect, share and hear firsthand what our 40th year has held and what's to come. In addition, we debuted our 40th anniversary mini -documentary at the event and shared about food security, nutrition and our Farm programs - Harvest Solutions Farm and Founders Farm.
Thank you to all who attended.

Good Things are Growing
at Founders Farm
Founders Farm is a unique and innovative approach to driving our mission of providing dignified, equitable and consistent access to nutritious food. Named in honor of the Food Bank's founders, Daniel J. Harney and Tom Fuentes, the Farm pays homage to the individuals who started our organization from the ground up.
Originally founded in 2020 at Second Harvest's Distribution Center, Founders Farm recently relocated to a more ideal growing environment adjacent to Harvest Solutions Farm at the University of California South Coast Research and Extension Center (SCREC) in Irvine.
Since its founding, Founders Farm has cultivated and harvested romaine lettuce, green butter crunch lettuce, red sails lettuce and Swiss chard on 93 raised beds. We look forward to introducing more new crops at Founders Farm in 2024!
Founders Farm addresses many of the challenges that we face today. Beyond the obvious of providing our neighbors with access to nutritious food, Founders Farm is an answer to the shortage of available land on which to farm. The crops grown at the Farm are cultivated in soil above ground using regenerative organic techniques and cost-effective growing systems deployed over man-made surfaces. Additionally, with its Orange County location near the Food Bank, Founders Farm is locally grown not for from the more than 300 food distribution sites of Second Harvest's partners, ultimately reducing its carbon footprint by greatly lessening the number of "food miles" traveled. Founders Farm is made possible by a generous lead gift from Bank of America in 2021.

A LETTER FROM OUR LEADERSHIP
Dear friend of the Food Bank,
We marked the end of a momentous 40th year after commemorating our anniversary on October 24, 2023. While we recognize that food insecurity persists in Orange County, we want to celebrate the enduring spirit of community that has shaped Second Harvest. This spirit is embodied by people like our founders, Dan Harney and Tom Fuentes; our committed staff; dedicated board members and volunteers; the Harvesters and every sponsor and donor who has played a part in our story. Its not just the milestones, but the countless hands and hearts, that have come together over the decades that we honor now. We fondly remember with gratitude those such as Mark Wetterau, who laid the groundwork for our mission and paved the path we walk today. Please read more about Marks legacy on page 13.
We are indebted to Ralphs Grocery Company and Food 4 Less for their generous support in underwriting our 40th year. Further, the overwhelming response to our first -ever one -day giving campaign held to recognize our four decades of serving Orange County —The Great 24-Hour Nutrition Mission —was a testament to the strength and unity of our community.
The past year has been marked with meaningful moments when the community came together (and braved the construction in our areal), including the inaugural Legacy Society Breakfast in January, the heartwarming Volunteer Appreciation Lunch in April and the return of the Partner Gathering in May held in the Distribution Center. In September, coinciding with Hunger Action Month, our second annual Walk to Feed OC was a roaring success that raised $300,645, surpassing our goal.
With gratitude and hope for a brighter tomorrow,
Kathy Bronstein
Board Chair
We continue to be excited about our partnership with the OC Food Bank and Abound Food Care in the Orange County Hunger Alliance.
Together, we are addressing food insecurity while delving deeper into the root causes of poverty, such as healthcare barriers, educational challenges, job training, racial disparities and the shortage of affordable housing.
Despite this positive momentum, we cannot overlook the stark reality of the growing hunger gap. Recently published USDA statistics are alarming: 12.8% of households in the U.S. were food insecure in 2022, amounting to 17 million households. Shockingly, this encompasses over 13 million children. With pandemic -related benefits ceasing earlier this year and the fact that we are feeding a monthly average of 393,000 people here in Orange County who are food insecure, we realize our battle is for from over.
But where there's unity, there's hope. The vigor with which our community comes together, time and time again, is uplifting. As we close out our 40th year, we're inspired by the past and look forward with determination. Our mission conveys this importance of working together:
"In collaboration with our partners, we provide dignified, equitable and consistent access to nutritious food, creating a foundation for community health"
Thank you for being the force of hope and action. The legacy of the past 40 years is profound, and with you by our side, we will be able to serve Orange County for as long as were needed.

IN HER OWN WORDS: NEIGHBOR TESTIMONIAL
A beacon in trying times
When life's unexpected turns hit Elizabeth hard,
Second Harvest stepped in, illuminating a path
through the darkest moments.
Elizabeth frequents food distributions at
Norman P. Murray Community and Senior
Center, a partner within Second Harvests
valued Partner Network.
"For the last two and a half years, I've felt
the warmth of their goodness and kindness;"
Elizabeth recounts.
8 After her husband's devastating cancer
diagnosis, financial struggles ensued. However,
the consistent support from Second Harvest,
together with Norman P. Murray Community
and Senior Center, ensured meals weren't an
added concern.
'We had breakfast, lunch, dinner. All the worries
in my head about food just vanished;' she says.
Elizabeth particularly praises Second Harvests
focus on health:
"Every item, from oatmeal to milk, is healthy.
They truly understand our needs."
The bond with Second Harvest goes beyond
just food; its a relationship of trust and
gratitude. 'Its hard to believe we've come this
for, but its thanks to organizations like this;'
says Elizabeth.

VOLUNTEERS
The force for afood-secure OC
Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange
County stands at the forefront of ensuring
food and nutritional security for all. At
our heart lies a mission that, while grand
in scope, is simple in essence: to provide
everyone in Orange County with consistent
access to nutritious food. This mission,
fueled by values of integrity, accountability
and compassion, forms the foundation of
community health in Orange County.
Volunteers are the lifeblood of this mission.
Their hands plant seeds, weed and harvest at
Harvest Solutions Farm and their efforts in the
Distribution Center ensure that fresh, nutritious
food is available to those who need it. In a
world of uncertainties, the dedication of these
individuals provides hope and stability. In FY23
alone, the collective hours of service reached
an astounding 70,353. Behind this number are
18,204 unique adults and children who visited
28,025 times, each leaving an indelible mark
on the fabric of our community.
Harvest Solutions Farm is more than just a
plot of land; its an embodiment of innovation.
Located in close proximity to the Food Bank,
the Farm is a partnership created by Second
Harvest, Solutions for Urban Agriculture
and the University of California South Coast
Research & Extension Center (SCREC).
This partnership mitigates challenges like
supply chain disruptions, ensuring that fresh
produce reaches those in need swiftly. With
approximately 170 volunteers flocking to its
fields weekly, the Farm has produced over
4.7 million pounds of fresh produce. From the
delightful watermelon of summer to the hearty
cabbages of winter, every harvest touches
thousands of lives.
Volunteer at Harvest Solutions Farm (and
coming soon at Founders Farm) and immerse
yourself in activities that span planting, weeding
and harvesting. Its a chance to reconnect with
the earth and understand the origins of our
food. Open to those aged 7+, the Farm offers
shifts designed to fit diverse schedules.
