Childhood Hunger Initiative The “Summer Servings” Campaign
• From summer 2011 to 2012, added 81,000 meals (+11%)• Executed critical research program; 5000 respondents
– Key learnings: lack of awareness is still top issue; activities at sites will “draw in” kids
• Core team in place (three months earlier than last year)• Goal is to grow by >25% in 2012

Childhood Hunger Initiative “BackSack” Program
• Geared towards providing chronically hungry children with weekend nutrition– 3300 kids served in last school year
• At end of 2011….5100 kids in 101 schools!• On track for 10,000 kids by end of school year 2012• Educators consistently discuss benefits: better
attendance, improved focus, fewer behavioral issues

Childhood Hunger Initiative School Breakfast Program (SBP)
– Only half of eligible children receive breakfast– Increase participation in federally funded breakfast program– Understand and leverage best practices using Six Sigma
methodology– Pilot enhanced processes in 3 schools in January 2012– Expand to 60 schools in 2012-2013 school year

Hunger Awareness CampaignA Bold and Sustainable Plan
• The time is right for major “leap forward” to further support hungry Hoosiers
• Develop and execute an Awareness Campaign utilizing the 211 organization as a cornerstone
• Working closely with core members of the Indy Hunger Network leadership, Publicis has developed an integrated plan that includes three phases:– Phase I: Research and Planning– Phase II: Referral Sources Launch– Phase III: Consumer Launch

A Public/Private PartnershipIt can work!
• What are some key components (Elanco perspective):– “Wildly” engaged senior leadership– Dedicated time and resources….and mean it!
• Specifically identified (and funded) programs • Targeted use of people…and their skills• Half day per quarter devoted to hunger cause• Does not have to be a huge investment….but focus is important
– Lots of “invested” employees• Not all wish to participate….though many do• But, everyone need to understand why!
