Your 2015 Impact
Alleviating Hunger in Stark County
In honor of the SCHTF’s 35th anniversary and all those who’ve made our mission possible, we are proud to share with your our 2015 Impact Report. Thanks to the generosity of this community, we’ve grown and expanded to better meet the needs of our hungry neighbors and are proud to make a large-scale impact on local hunger. Ultimately, it is your impact on local hunger that we’re celebrating — the 2015 Impact Report is a thank-you to you, our supporters, because none of our services would be possible without you. Not 35 years ago, and not today, either.
What’s in the Impact Report?
Ever find yourself wondering about the grocery store value of your monetary donations, or where SCHTF’s funding comes from and where it goes? Who our top donors are, how much we spend on programming vs. other expenses, the real dollar value of food donations, or how many households, children, seniors, and adults received critical food assistance? You’ll find the answer to all those questions below. It’s two pages, so make sure to click the right-hand arrow to see both!
2015 Impact Report
Here are some more comparison impact statistics for the curious:
- Since 2010, we’ve gone from serving 15,000 people a month to nearly 28,000 — an 86% increase in services over only five years
- Throughout much of the 90’s and early 2000’s, the SCHTF served a steady 10,000-15,000 monthly clients
- Food donations increased by 16% between 2014 and 2015
- In 1990, 30% of our budget came from federal sources. Today, that number is only 2.4%, in funds from the Emergency Food and Shelter Board
- The SCHTF hired its first full-time director in 2009, the same year we opened the SCHTF Emergency Food Pantry at the Goodwill Community Campus
- Today, we have 1 full-time director, 1 part-time assistant director, and 1 part-time Executive Administrative Assistant & Grant Writer.
