In Orange County over 500,000 people struggle with food insecurity and the ability to put a meal on their tables. In LA County and Southern California as a whole that number is much, much higher. We come to work every day excited to do what we love most, cook tasty and nutritious meals for our friends and neighbors in need. From breakfast for our seniors right here in Garden Grove, to hot lunches for our struggling college students in Santa Ana to a complete hot dinner for families, seniors and veterans all across southern California we are honored to work in this space. We are able to do this not only by cooking meals but with our food truck and a network of community partners who help to get our meals into the hands of those who need it most. Looking forward our goal in 2024 is to provide more than 2.2 million meals to our friend and neighbors in need through our distribution network of over 45 community and agency partners. 3531501 3274303 Rescued Food ProgramOur rescued food program powers all that we do here at the kitchen. In America today it is estimated that up to 40% of our food supply ends up in landfills having never been consumed by humans. Perfectly good food that was produced at enormous cost to you is left to rot in the dumpster. Food that if properly managed could have been used to feed our friends and neighbors in need. We leverage existing relationships and build new and exciting ones to ensure that high quality edible food comes to us and not the dumpster. Once rescued we're able to turn these food items into nutritious meals for our friends and neighbors in need. Ugly produce, meat and chicken that didn't sell and had to be frozen, overproduction of sauces, dressings and convenience items, off spec items and produce left in the field are just a few examples of the many areas in which we rescue food. Our goal in 2024 is to rescue more than 325 tons of food. 268332 Culinary Training ProgramNow in our 5th class of students our culinary training program has grown into a very important part of the work we do. Like the age old saying, give a man a fish and you've fed him for a day, teach him to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime. The perfect statement to describe our work in culinary training. While we recognize that not every student may become a famous Chef, every student will have the foundation for, not only a career in food service, but they'll have a better understanding and appreciation for how to cook and provide for their own families. 6274190 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 14 0 1 54 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CA X The Organization 7145541923 13941 Nautilus Drive Garden Grove CA 92843 William Bracken President 50.00 X X 198180 0 0 Molly Bracken Secretary 8.00 X X 0 0 0 Hilda Jusuf Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael Pearson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Douglas Schonfeld Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Zschach Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Krista Koch Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Caterina Hall-Richards Director of Operations 50.00 X 152329 0 0 350509 0 0 2 0 1 0 0 237811 5293114 3307886 5530925 Community Feeding Prog 900099 1622255 1622255 Catering Income 722320 97233 97233 1719488 24034 24034 57536 0 57536 57536 57536 156387 237811 65670 90717 90717 Employee Retention Cre 531310 525762 525762 525762 7948462 2302786 0 114751 350508 278801 32623 39084 1399320 1113044 130241 156035 107292 92986 8309 5997 127107 102343 11740 13024 26446 22507 3939 25120 2025 295 22800 26235 13643 58 12534 13559 12003 1265 291 25975 22289 2451 1235 426545 375832 50713 23844 23198 153 493 5248 4107 1141 5 5 65071 64599 472 78567 68611 6335 3621 Food expense 3728001 3727429 572 Supplies 331197 328481 2619 97 Outside services 17543 17543 Bank fees 5612 4744 835 33 6783195 6274190 252048 256957 1314551 2504322 2300151 2324185 200000 160000 257727 210478 25420 30256 514419 213358 280431 301061 558583 826229 153259 154873 5090122 6511404 211628 239232 644104 872515 855732 1111747 X 3475319 4713095 759071 686562 4234390 5399657 5090122 6511404 1165267 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1831246 4347304 4566000 4015061 5334025 20093636 1831246 4347304 4566000 4015061 5334025 20093636 725753 19367883 137311 39066 27200 45032 81570 330179 18050 8820 27655 199118 253643 20677458 0.93670 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 190779 13149 177630 188216 134514 53702 135424 65695 69729 301061 Tenant deposits 10965 Lease Liability 861550 872515 7996701 7328 40911 48239 7948462 0 7948462 6831434 7328 40911 48239 6783195 0 6783195 Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Special event expenses Part XII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Special event expenses Hungry Games 389173 237811 151362 3980 2317 2500 50668 Other events 5025 5025 6205 394198 237811 156387 3980 2317 2500 56873 65670 90717 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 William Bracken President 198180 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 198180 0 0 0 Caterina Hall-Richards Director of Operations 152329 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 152329 0 0 0 Jessica Bowen Family member of William Bracken, Officer & Director 54582 Compensation for employment 0 X 2026 3189879 X Kitchen supplies 99 77096 X Auction items 59 40911 0 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2 Bill and Molly Bracken have a family relationship.
