Children Around the World Need Your Help
Hunger knows no boundaries. Its effects are seen around the world and 1 in 9 children
struggle to find the food needed to survive every day. Throughout developing countries,
hunger is driven by a lack of resources, conflict, corruption, natural disasters and many
other factors that have caused a global concern. Here in the U.S. the number one
contributor to hunger is the rising cost of living. Although children around the world
need your help, thankfully in 2018 you responded in a major way.

OUR MISSION

From humble beginnings around a dining room table 8 years ago, together we have
turned compassion for the hungry into a global movement. Working alongside
our generous partners, we are making an impact in the fight against hunger.

With your help, we have visited communities filled with despair and hopelessness and watched as the faces of hunger have turned into faces of hope because of your commitment to doing something that matters.
We seek out partnerships with organizations that
are already making a difference through long-term
solutions. That strategy has helped us put more donor
funds to work in areas that greatly expand impact.
This Food+ strategy is aimed at solving hunger while
supporting education for girls, women’s health,
economic development, orphan care and creating a
culture of self-sufficiency.
The South Sudanese make up 1.4 million of the world’s refugees and they are
fleeing to settlements like Northern Uganda. Over the last 8 years, South Sudan
has been ravaged by civil conflict and famine. Last year, the U.N. declared South
Sudan in an official state of famine. In a country where hope is hard to find,
you helped send life-saving meals to 19,520 refugees, (15,616 of which were
children), build a brighter and stronger future.

Between the difficult terrain, lack of agricultural programs and vulnerability to natural
disasters, the people of Haiti have the odds stacked against them. Partnering with Love
a Child, our Hunger Heroes distributed 38,000 meals to an orphanage in Haiti. These
boxes of food came with inspiring messages of hope and pure joy, lifting the spirits of
all those who received them.

Venezuela is currently struggling with a country-wide crisis. The economic and
political issues have taken a huge toll on the people, making food supply scarce
for a majority of the country. A hometown Hunger Hero partnered with FCE
to do whatever it took to help save lives of children in Venezuela. Because of
this effort, they were able to provide aid to children who need it most through
15,000 meals for the hardest hit areas.

The world can produce enough food to feed every person on earth, yet 40 million
Americans are still left to skip meals, eat less at meals, buy cheap non-nutritious
food or even feed their children but not themselves. In a country as prosperous as
the United States, hard-working individuals and families still find it difficult to put
food on the table because the already high cost of living continues to rise. This is an
everyday struggle for those living at 200% of the poverty level and below.

WHY FULL CART?We have a crisis in the United States that gets worse
every year. In all areas of life, costs are going up at
historic rates. Healthcare, education, housing, and
food are all climbing, but wages are fairly stagnant.
When money’s tight and food prices continue
to rise, families are faced with tough choices for
putting hot meals on the table for their children.

ALL THEY PAY IS THE COST OF SHIPPING!
WHAT IS FULL CART?That’s why, with your help, we launched Full
Cart, a grocery delivery service for hard-working
individuals and families looking for a way to extend
their budget. For pennies on the dollar, anyone in
the United States can order a package of delicious
meal kits and popular grocery items delivered to
their front door. All they pay is the cost of shipping.
This social innovation is radically changing the
way hunger issues are solved in America.

BIG MOVES FOR A SMALL BUSINESS!
SELF-SUFFICIENCYCreating a small business from the ground
up and improving business skills are reliable
ways to foster financial independence and self-
sufficiency; two pivotal factors in ending hunger.
Bee Bee, for example, was displaced by Hurricane
Irma after her roof caved in and she found herself
struggling to find a direction. She was forced to
move from place to place while trying to rebuild
her life. After going through our entrepreneur
training class, Bee Bee is back in her home and
her cleaning service is now a thriving business in
Seminole County.

JOSIE’S STORYJosie is a single mother of three who works full-
time while earning a degree to be a nurse - there’s
no doubt that she works hard. Traditional food
pantries often have odd hours that don’t line
up with people who are trying to make a living.
Because Full Cart delivers food directly to those
who need it, Josie doesn’t have to take time off
work to go to a food pantry before they close.
When Josie looks to the future, she sees her family
doing better and not struggling to pay the bills.

FROM HUNGRY TO HUNGER HERO
PEGGY’S STORYBecause of her personal experience in the foster
care system when she was younger, Peggy
understood the needs of those facing food
insecurity. She decided to start an “online food
pantry” group on Facebook to help give back to
those in need, but the impact was limited due to
costs and shipping restrictions. Then Peggy found
Full Cart. “Before discovering Full Cart, I could
only help 50% of people who asked for assistance.
[Now], we’ve turned that number to 100%.” Peggy’s
group can now send groceries across the United
States directly to those who need them most.

WAREHOUSE EXPANSIONRegional warehouses are a part of the ongoing
mission to deliver delicious meals to people in all
50 states and effectively serve those regions. Every
expansion reduces long-haul shipping which
decreases carbon emissions by 40% and allows
us to allocate more funds back into our programs
to provide more meals for those who need them
most.
