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.

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.

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. Members of Bank of America's Hispanic/Latino Organization for Leadership & Advancement (HOLA OC) at Founders Farm.

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.

"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. FEE DOC.ORG Flarrest is not it food. God r organization.

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.
