ONE WAY STOP HUNGER NOW ACCOMPLISHES THE MISSION IS THROUGH POPULAR COMMUNITY-SUPPORTED MEAL PACKAGING PROGRAMS. THE DEHYDRATED, HIGH-PROTEIN AND HIGHLY NUTRITIOUS MEALS, AT TIMES ACCOMPANIED BY DONATED IN-KIND AID SUCH AS MEDICINE, MEDICAL SUPPLIES, EQUIPMENT, CLOTHING, BLANKETS, SOAP AND VITAMINS WERE DISTRIBUTED TO THOUSANDS OF HUNGRY, VULNERABLE PEOPLE AND DISASTER VICTIMS IN 30 COUNTRIES IN 2013. STOP HUNGER MEALS AND IN-KIND AID ARE USED PRIMARILY TO SUPPORT TRANSFORMATIONAL EDUCATION AND VOCATIONAL PROGRAMS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD. 0 0 9088842 9088842 STOP HUNGER NOW IDENTIFIES HIGHLY EFFECTIVE AND ACCOUNTABLE PARTNERS WORKING LOCALLY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, WORKS WITH THESE PARTNERS TO UNDERSTAND THEIR VISION FOR CREATING SUSTAINABLE CHANGE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND THEN PROCURES RESOURCES ON THEIR BEHALF THAT ENABLE THEM TO BUILD CAPACITY AND MEET THE NEEDS THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. IN 2013, STOP HUNGER NOW PROVIDED MORE THAN $9 MILLION WORTH OF DONATED GOODS BY WAY OF 48 SHIPMENTS TO 16 COUNTRIES.FOR EXAMPLE, IN GANTA, LIBERIA, STOP HUNGER NOW SUPPORTS GANTA UNITED METHODIST HOSPITAL, A 140-BED FACILITY THAT SERVICES A CATCHMENT AREA OF MORE THAN 400,000 PEOPLE. MEDICAL SUPPLIES HAVE BEEN SENT TO THIS HOSPITAL BASED ON THE EXPRESSED NEEDS OF THE HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATORS. ITEMS HAVE INCLUDED MEDICAL GLOVES, SUTURES, ADHESIVE TAPE AS WELL AS ANTIBIOTICS AND OTHER PRIMARY CARE MEDICATIONS. THESE SUPPLIES HAVE ALLOWED THE HOSPITAL TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO LARGE NUMBERS OF PATIENTS THAT WOULD NOT HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN TREATED. IN ZAMBIA, STOP HUNGER NOW HAS PROVIDED SCHOOL KITS AND SOLAR LIGHTING FOR USE IN COMMUNITY SCHOOLS. THESE SCHOOL ROOMS DO NOT HAVE ELECTRICITY OR RESOURCES FOR THE CHILDREN. BY PROVIDING THIS AID IN ADDITION TO OUR FOOD, STOP HUNGER NOW INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD FOR THESE STUDENTS' SUCCESS. IN BELIZE, STOP HUNGER NOW HAS PROVIDED TOOLS FOR VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS, DESKS FOR LOCAL SCHOOLS, AN ULTRASOUND MACHINE, EXAM LIGHTS, AND MEDICAL SUPPLIES FOR A COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINIC. ALL AID WAS PROCURED BASED ON THE STATED NEEDS OF OUR IN COUNTRY PARTNER. OUR PARTNERS REPORT THAT CHILDREN WHO ARE GIVEN A STOP HUNGER NOW MEAL ARE MORE ENERGETIC AND FOCUSED. THE MORE CHILDREN ARE NOURISHED, THE BETTER THEY PERFORM IN SCHOOL AND ARE LIKELY TO GRADUATE. 8810049 279773 107249 STOP HUNGER NOW'S MISSION IS TO END HUNGER IN OUR LIFETIME AND WE MEASURE OUR SUCCESS THROUGH THE AMOUNT OF AID WE EFFECTIVELY DELIVER TO SUPPORT TRANSFORMATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WE ENGAGE IN THE EFFORT TO END HUNGER. IN 2013, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF VOLUNTEER HOURS DONATED, AN ESTIMATED 145,000 STOP HUNGER NOW VOLUNTEERS PACKAGED 41.9 MILLION MEALS THAT WERE SHIPPED TO 30 COUNTRIES AND MORE THAN $9 MILLION WORTH OF DONATED GOODS WAS DISPATCHED BY WAY OF 48 SHIPMENTS TO 16 COUNTRIES. THIS REPRESENTS A 48% GROWTH IN THE NUMBER OF MEALS PACKAGED OVER THE PRIOR YEAR AND AN 18% INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF DONATED PRODUCTS, ALLOWING US TO SHIP MORE MEALS AND ESSENTIAL AID TO PARTNERS AROUND THE WORLD.IN-COUNTRY FEEDING PARTNERS IN AFRICA, HAITI, NICARAGUA AND OTHER LOCATIONS ARE REPORTING WEIGHT GAINS IN MALNOURISHED CHILDREN, RESULTING IN IMPROVED PHYSICAL APPEARANCE, AS WELL AS BETTER PERFORMANCE IN SCHOOL. SOME PARTNERS REPORT INCREASED SCHOOL ENROLLMENTS AS A RESULT OF THEIR FEEDING PROGRAMS AND MANY REPORT THAT CHILDREN ARE COMING TO SCHOOL MORE CONSISTENTLY AND GRADUATION RATES ARE INCREASING. TRANSFORMATIONAL DEVELOPMENT GOES BEYOND SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAMS. THROUGH THE WORK OF OUR PARTNERS, STOP HUNGER NOW HAS A FOCUS ON IMPROVING THE FIRST 1,000 DAYS OF LIFE AND MATERNAL HEALTH, IN PARTICULAR. FOR EXAMPLE, STOP HUNGER NOW DONATES MEALS TO CITIHOPE INTERNATIONAL IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, WHICH DISTRIBUTES THE MEALS TO MATERNIDAD LA NUESTRA SENORA DE ALTAGRACIA, ONE OF THE LARGEST FREE PUBLIC HOSPITALS THAT DELIVERED AN AVERAGE OF 80 BABIES PER DAY IN 2013. ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTOR GENERAL, THE HOSPITAL'S BIGGEST ISSUE IS MALNUTRITION AND HE BELIEVES THAT FOOD AND MEDICINE ARE BOTH ESSENTIAL TO TREATING MALNOURISHED MOTHERS.SINCE INTRODUCING STOP HUNGER NOW MEALS, THE HOSPITAL HAS SEEN A LARGE REDUCTION IN MATERNAL MALNOURISHMENT, WHICH HAS LED TO THE DECLINE OF DISEASE ASSOCIATED WITH IT. THIS REDUCTION TRANSLATES TO LESS COST PER MOTHER INCURRED BY THE HOSPITAL. IN 2013, 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL WHO WAS SIX MONTHS PREGNANT WITH TRIPLETS CAME INTO THE HOSPITAL VERY MALNOURISHED AND UNDERWEIGHT. SHE WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR THE REMAINDER OF HER PREGNANCY AND FED A STOP HUNGER NOW MEAL AND ADDITIONAL VITAMINS DAILY. THE END RESULT WAS THREE HEALTHY BABIES AND A HEALTHY MOTHER. TOWARDS ENGAGING VOLUNTEERS IN THE EFFORT TO END HUNGER, WHICH THE ORGANIZATION SEES AS AN IMPORTANT EFFORT IN ACHIEVING ITS MISSION, THROUGH CONDUCTING MEAL PACKAGING EVENTS, STOP HUNGER NOW EDUCATES AND MOTIVATES NEARLY 150,000 PEOPLE ANNUALLY ABOUT THE ISSUE OF HUNGER AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO ELIMINATE THIS SOLVABLE PROBLEM.PARTICIPATING IN THE STOP HUNGER NOW MEAL PACKAGING PROGRAM PROMOTES VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT, BUILDS TEAMWORK, AND DEMONSTRATES AN ORGANIZATION'S INTEREST AND COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY INITIATIVES, WHICH STRENGTHENS RELATIONSHIPS AMONG COLLEAGUES AND BOOSTS THE MORALE OF VOLUNTEERS THROUGH TANGIBLE HANDS-ON ACCOMPLISHMENTS. STOP HUNGER NOW EVENTS ARE USED AS TRAINING AND TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITIES, CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ACTIVITIES, NEW HIRE ORIENTATIONS, SUMMER ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMS FOR STUDENTS AND LARGE VOLUNTEER SERVICE PROJECTS. MANY VOLUNTEERS AND ORGANIZATIONS RETURN YEAR AFTER YEAR TO PACKAGE STOP HUNGER NOW MEALS. ONE VOLUNTEER WHO HAS PACKAGED MEALS 4 YEARS IN A ROW SUMMED UP THE EXPERIENCE BY STATING, "THE POWER OF A PROGRAM WELL DONE IS THAT IT BECOMES SOMETHING GREAT TO TALK ABOUT AND SOMETHING TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO." 17898891 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 9 0 88 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 19 19 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 NC VA MS AZ TN WV MD GA FL PA CA KS MA MN TX UT X X ROBERTA SORENSEN 9198390689 615 HILLSBOROUGH STREET SUITE 200 RALEIGH NC 27603 REV RAY A BUCHANAN FOUNDER AND INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT 40.00 X X 122752 0 9185 LEON ABBAS BOARD MEMBER 1.40 X 0 0 0 TERRY BRYANT BOARD MEMBER 1.40 X 0 0 0 MIKE CONSTANTINO BOARD MEMBER 1.40 X 0 0 0 KATE DAY BOARD MEMBER 1.40 X 0 0 0 LUCY DINNER SECRETARY 1.40 X X 0 0 0 ROB HARRIS TREASURER 1.40 X X 0 0 0 KURT AREHART BOARD MEMBER 1.40 X 0 0 0 JAMES KIWANUKA-TONDO BOARD MEMBER 1.40 X 0 0 0 JOHN MARTIN BOARD MEMBER 1.40 X 0 0 0 TOM PROCTOR CHAIR 1.40 X X 0 0 0 RAJESH RAO BOARD MEMBER 1.40 X 0 0 0 ADAM SAFFER BOARD MEMBER 1.40 X 0 0 0 JEFF TRUITT VICE CHAIR 2.40 X X 0 0 0 HOPE WILLIAMS BOARD MEMBER 1.40 X 0 0 0 ALAN WINCHESTER BOARD MEMBER 1.40 X 0 0 0 ANNE BANDER BOARD MEMBER 1.40 X 0 0 0 PAMELA CARTER BOARD MEMBER 1.40 X 0 0 0 GEOFFREY GRIFFIN BOARD MEMBER 1.40 X 0 0 0 MACK PARKER BOARD MEMBER 1.40 X 0 0 0 RODNEY W BROOKS PRESIDENT AND CEO 40.00 X 113880 0 21771 236632 0 30956 2 0 0 0 C-LEVEL MANAGEMENT 31371 RANCHO VIEJO ROAD 102 SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO CA 92675 SOFTWARE CUSTOMIZATION AND SYSTEMS MAINT 172630 FREIGHTQUOTECOM 901 WEST CARONDELET DRIVE KANSAS CITY MO 64114 FREIGHT ON INVENTORY 159959 2 20799835 9143020 20799835 SALE OF GOODS 448000 108532 108532 108532 1184 1184 1283 -1283 -1283 -1283 20908268 107249 0 1184 9368615 9368615 267587 93098 94213 80276 3039144 2105942 693064 240138 57049 45603 10486 960 257226 182465 59032 15729 277879 188870 67550 21459 28500 28500 279652 44776 202706 32170 24938 7666 17272 16333 13740 2593 272167 271107 1060 813931 753542 60389 432021 307906 53522 70593 61125 44360 16713 52 109178 214 108964 SUPPLIES 4666594 4666594 PRINTING & REPRODUCTION 92316 28896 20148 43272 POSTAGE 55973 10066 22183 23724 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE 50363 45395 4968 91946 12549 72224 7173 20262537 17898891 1807175 556471 1319498 1525650 14760 51733 87707 239707 389692 550256 55265 153453 442834 252883 149558 189951 1370 0 135828 189150 2153678 2899900 488096 597387 593271 584471 1081367 1181858 X 1030939 1544332 41372 173710 1072311 1718042 2153678 2899900 645731 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 13593778 6836798 5289036 14865664 20799835 61385111 6865 12248 65681 92305 108532 285631 13600643 6849046 5354717 14957969 20908367 61670742 50010 50010 0 50010 50010 61620732 7278 11883 7707 4734 1184 32786 7278 11883 7707 4734 1184 32786 13607921 6860929 5362424 14962703 20909551 61703528 0.99870 0.99240 0.00050 0.00080 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 59062 25100 33962 383772 227783 155989 189951 DEPOSITS 59276 OTHER RECEIVABLES 101668 OTHER CURRENT ASSETS 28206 189150 ACCRUED VACATION PAYABLE 120601 UNEARNED REVENUE 376197 DEFERRED RENT 87673 584471 X 21261002 352734 352734 20908268 0 20908268 20615271 352734 352734 20262537 0 20262537 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.
