Eric, an OHK volunteer, at the Open Heart Food Bank Read as a FlipBook Instead! Our Mission Provide equitable access to nutritious food today, while building a food secure tomorrow. Our Vision Work with Community Partners to meet the most basic needs of vulnerable people in our community by empowering them to build better futures. Our Guiding Principles Dignity: Every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Innovation: Ending hunger requires innovative solutions. Advocacy: Ending hunger requires action to create systemic change. Collaboration: Hunger is linked to numerous issues, and the only way to solve hunger is to work with partners to address issues of health, housing, and employment. Isaiah, an OHK volunteer, at the Dublin Senior Center 2025–2030 Strategic Pillars • End immediate food insecurity by providing nutritious food. • End the cycle of poverty through advocacy and partnerships. • Improve and strengthen organizational capacity and infrastructure. • Enhance program reach and impact through innovative strategies. A message from the Executive Director Over the past year, I’ve found myself doing something I never expected: spending my weekends learning how to play golf with my sixteen-year-old son. He picked up an interest seemingly out of nowhere, and while I hadn’t swung a club in years (and had never been much of a golfer to begin with) I saw an opportunity for us to learn something new together. Our first visits to the driving range were humbling. My swing was stiff, my back was sore, and everything felt unfamiliar. But slowly, bucket by bucket, we both began to find our rhythm. Eventually, we graduated from the driving range to the course—first nine holes, then eighteen. We’re still far from experts, but we have grown into the game together, learning, adjusting, and celebrating every small victory along the way. This experience has been on my mind often as we launched the Open Heart Food Bank this year, one of the most ambitious and transformative undertakings in Open Heart Kitchen’s 30-year history. Just like those early days at the driving range, the learning curve for opening a food bank has been steep. Our team has taken on an entirely new operational model, with new equipment, safety procedures, and inventory systems. They’ve had to master weighing in donations, managing warehouse flow, and establishing an efficient schedule to move food out quickly and safely to our Partner Agencies. The work is both mentally demanding and physically intense, and there have been real “sore muscles” along the way. But also like golf, we’ve grown stronger and more confident with every swing. Volunteers from Kaiser Permanente sorting produce at the Open Heart Food Bank This year, we successfully on-boarded nine Partner Agencies, each now receiving and distributing fresh, nutritious food throughout the Tri-Valley. We built a warehouse operation from the ground up, learned from every misstep, listened to our partners, and adapted in real time. What started as a bold vision has become a fully functioning food bank that is already expanding access to healthy food for thousands of neighbors across the Tri-Valley. Program Coordinators, Christi and Hannah, at one of the Food Bank’s first food recovery pickups at the Pleasanton Costco I am deeply proud of our team. They have the courage to try something new, a willingness to push through growing pains, and an unwavering commitment to showing up for our community every single day. This year reminded me that growth rarely comes easily, but it does come when people work together toward a purpose larger than themselves. Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support has allowed Open Heart Kitchen to take this incredible leap forward, and your partnership will carry us through the next eighteen holes and far beyond.

At the heart of Open Heart Food Bank is a new network of nine partner agencies, each bringing their own strengths, programs, and compassion to the people they serve. From neighborhood church distributions to apartment complexes, these partners help ensure that high-quality groceries reach every corner of the Tri-Valley. Working together, we maximize the impact of every donation, every pallet rescued, and every volunteer hour invested. This collaboration doesn’t just improve access to food. It builds a stronger, more resilient local food security network. With the support from the Alameda County Community Food Bank, OHK now has the infrastructure and coordination capacity to reduce food waste, improve distribution efficiency, and respond quickly to emerging needs. The launch of the Open Heart Food Bank reflects the power of community, partnership, and years of perseverance. And it represents our commitment to a simple, steadfast belief: everyone deserves reliable access to nourishing food, no matter their circumstances. 178,594 pounds of Recovered Food Powered by Community The Generosity Fueling the OPEN HEART FOOD BANK Community generosity has made the Open Heart Food Bank possible in countless ways. From day one, volunteers have played a crucial role in bringing the Open Heart Food Bank to life, assisting with daily operations, sorting donations, and helping distribute food to those who need it most. Delivery trucks were donated by First Presbyterian Church of Livermore and ChoiceLunch, and a full truck-wrapping project was sponsored by Fremont Bank, with graphic design work donated by Cheri Brewster helping to make the trucks highly visible in our community. Partnerships with local agencies and our continued collaboration with the Alameda County Community Food Bank allow Open Heart Food Bank to expand access, reduce waste, and strengthen the local food security network.

Now, OHFB serves as the Tri-Valley’s hub—receiving food from ACCFB to support nine Partner Agency food pantries in our community. A Stronger Table for All How OPEN HEART FOOD BANK is Building a Better Food System In Spring 2025, Open Heart Kitchen proudly opened the Open Heart Food Bank. This milestone is years in the making, and one that marks a powerful new chapter in our mission to address hunger across the Tri-Valley. As an official Redistribution Organization for the Alameda County Community Food Bank, Open Heart Food Bank now serves as a vital hub within the Feeding America ecosystem, expanding equitable access to groceries throughout our region. From our Livermore facility, we collect, sort, package, and distribute essential food to partner pantries that serve thousands of our neighbors each month. While the Food Bank represents a major step forward, its roots trace back to 2020, when Open Heart Kitchen stepped in during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to operate an emergency food distribution for Alameda County. This rapid-response operation eventually evolved into our temporary Pop-Up Pantry Program, and those years of hands-on experience laid critical groundwork. By the time the Alameda County Community Food Bank sought to expand its redistribution network, OHK was prepared. Becoming an official Redistribution Organization and launching the Open Heart Food Bank was a natural and necessary evolution of work already underway. The services at the VINEYARD RESOURCE CENTER One Door, Many Pathways Location: Vineyard Resource Center 450 N. Livermore Ave, Livermore Open to the public: Monday - Friday 9 AM - 5 PM The Vineyard Resource Center At the Vineyard Resource Center, Open Heart Kitchen provides a full spectrum of services designed to meet immediate needs while fostering long-term growth. Our Community Meal Program offers free, nutritious meals to seniors, families, and individuals experiencing homelessness. Open Heart Refuge provides safe overnight shelter along with a hot dinner and breakfast. Elsewhere in the Center, clients can access case management, housing navigation, showers, laundry services, career counseling, and more. The Vineyard Resource Center is a place where our neighbors’ struggles, hopes, and dreams are validated, supported, and nurtured. It is a space where children enjoy nutritious meals, seniors find companionship, and adults in transition receive the tools and encouragement they need to move forward. Each day, our dedicated staff and volunteers witness small yet powerful victories: a family returning home with meals in hand, a shelter guest securing permanent housing, or a client connecting with a partner agency that can help them achieve a life-changing milestone, such as sobriety or reconnection with their family. The Vineyard Resource Center With the continued support of our donors, volunteers, and community partners, the Vineyard Resource Center remains a beacon of hope in the Tri-Valley. Together, we are ensuring that every neighbor has access not only to the food they need today, but also the opportunities that will sustain them for tomorrow. You can contribute to this network as a volunteer, a donor, or by connecting OHK with community partners who can support our mission. Visit openheartkitchen.org to learn more and get involved. When the Budget Breaks, the Meal is Still Here The COMMUNITY MEAL Program Location: Vineyard Resource Center 450 N. Livermore Ave, Livermore Service times: Monday - Friday 12 PM - 5 PM Restrictions: None At the heart of Open Heart Kitchen’s mission is the Community Meal Program, which provides free, nutritious meals to anyone in need across the Tri-Valley. But the program provides more than just food—it offers dignity, connection, and hope. Every guest who walks through the doors of the Vineyard Resource Center experiences a welcoming space where they are valued, respected, and supported. For first-time visitors, the journey begins at the front desk, where guests complete a simple self-reported intake form. From there, they pass through halls lined with displays of client artwork and Vineyard’s resources before entering the dining room. There, they are greeted by OHK staff and volunteers who guide them through the cafeteria-style meal service. Guests can help themselves from the self-serve beverage station before taking a seat to enjoy a warm, nutritious meal in a communal, supportive environment. After the meal is finished, the experience continues. Guests are encouraged to explore the full range of resources the Center offers. They can take a shower, do laundry, select clothing from the closet, or relax in the community room. Representatives from partner agencies are onsite daily, ready to assist with medical referrals, housing navigation, employment opportunities, and other essential services. Every step of this journey is designed to meet immediate needs while helping guests take tangible steps toward long-term stability. Providing Shelter, Stability, and Pathways Forward A Look Inside OPEN HEART REFUGE Location: Vineyard Resource Center 450 N. Livermore Ave, Livermore Service times: Every night 6 PM - 8 AM Restrictions: Adults, reserved bed model For individuals facing homelessness in the Tri-Valley, Open Heart Refuge is far more than a place to sleep. It’s a place of hope, safety, and new beginnings. Located at the Vineyard Resource Center, the shelter provides a safe bed, hot dinner and breakfast, and access to critical services that help guests take steps toward a brighter future. This shelter program is held in our Vineyard dining room, where tables are stored away nightly to make room for 30 beds. The room is bursting, and demand continues to outpace availability. For the 30 individuals who find solace and safety in this year-round shelter—Alameda County’s 3rd largest—it’s enough for now. For the more than 20 who do not have a nightly bed, but whose names are added to a rolling waitlist, there is a glimmer of hope. Every bed, blanket, and volunteer who contributes to this life-changing program is vital, but despite our best efforts it is simply not enough to provide shelter for everyone in need. We will continue to fight for access to services for all of our neighbors, but we know that these solutions will take longer than they should. There is an urgent need for regional solutions to address homelessness in the Bay Area. Volunteers and donors make this work possible. We rely on volunteers to help check in our guests nightly. Mike and Joe, both dedicated volunteers, know firsthand what our clients need, and they went above and beyond by donating mission-critical items. From Mike purchasing new cots to Joe and his wife, Thais, supplying blankets, their generosity reflects the deep care our volunteers carry into this work. Individual contributions like theirs have a profound impact, helping Open Heart Refuge provide comfort, safety, and stability to those who need it most. Breakfast is served daily For those clients who are able to access care from the Open Heart Refuge, their lives are changing for the better through individualized care and attention. One guest, a vulnerable young man who has a developmental disability, was being exploited and verbally abused by staff from a for-profit organization. OHK staff contacted Adult Protective Services, reserved a nightly bed in the Refuge, and banned the organization from Vineyard’s property. This client now has a secure place to rest and access to the support he needs while we continue to work toward securing a long-term solution. Good Things Happen at the Table of Connection & Care Inside Open Heart Kitchen's SENIOR MEAL Program For many older adults in the Tri-Valley, a warm meal is about far more than nourishment: It’s an opportunity for connection with dignity. Open Heart Kitchen’s Senior Meal Program provides nutritious lunches in welcoming dining spaces where seniors can enjoy their meals with a healthy helping of companionship. Behind every meal, a dedicated team ensures the experience is seamless. Evelyn, Site Supervisor for the Dublin Senior Center location, emphasized, “Teamwork makes dreams work! From behind the scenes, to the kitchen, to the dining room.” Each of our service sites has just one employee to oversee meal service. The rest of the onsite team is composed of compassionate, hard-working volunteers who plate, serve, clean, and interact with our guests. Sylvia, a regular diner, shared, “On a scale from 1-10, I’d give Open Heart Kitchen a 10! The meals are good, the service is great, and the dining room is always clean.” Food is, of course, a highlight. Meily and Marvin, long- time attendees, said, “We come to the senior center for two reasons: we enjoy the food – especially the soup, with pumpkin-apple as our favorite – and we’ve also made some nice friends here. After our meal, a group of us often plays chess together.” Fellow diner, Ken, said, “My favorite meal is Shepherd’s Pie. I also really enjoyed the cauliflower-leek soup.” The Senior Meal Program not only nourishes the body but also empowers participants to age with dignity, confidence, and control over their health. The meals consist of hearty soups, protein-rich entrees, and seasonal fruits. Each meal is thoughtfully prepared to support both wellness and enjoyment. Through the simple act of sharing a meal, Open Heart Kitchen creates spaces where older adults are valued, supported, and connected to the broader Tri-Valley community.
