In Orange County over 450,000 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're 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 over 75 community partners who help to get our meals into the hands of those who need it most. Looking ahead our 2026 goal is to provide 2.2 million meals throughout orange county. 3254532 3254532 Rescued Food ProgramOur rescued food program powers all that we do here at the kitchen. It is estimated that we are still wasting up to 40% of our food supply. 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 2026 is to rescue more than 400 tons of food. 273645 171961 Culinary Training ProgramNow in our 9th 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. 8309 97408 8309 97408 6846503 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 50 0 1 47 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 4 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 Molly Bracken Secretary & Dir of Hospitality 40.00 X X 90865 0 0 Hilda Jusuf Treasurer 1.00 X 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 William Bracken President 50.00 X X 241981 0 0 Kris Kirk Director if Culinary Operatins 40.00 X 101218 0 0 434064 0 0 2 0 1 0 0 305974 5169419 3359517 5475393 Community Feeding Prog 900099 1922070 1922070 Catering Income 722320 32717 32717 1954787 68837 68837 64691 0 64691 64691 64691 205707 305974 94552 111155 111155 Other income 900099 4333 4333 4333 7679196 2023811 0 179992 332846 295071 20702 17073 1580832 1401425 98321 81086 119716 111595 4873 3248 141708 126472 8856 6380 32455 27587 4868 139769 8273 1343 130153 29068 12030 213 16825 17035 14436 1814 785 50294 43470 6403 421 512513 440134 72362 17 36246 32945 1261 2040 4232 3392 75 765 79349 67447 11902 140168 129751 9150 1267 Food expense 3885025 3883972 1053 Supplies 199093 195897 3091 105 Other employee related 27972 23538 3528 906 Bank fees 23442 13293 2302 7847 15775 15775 7367538 6846503 251064 269971 2471897 2862291 2394748 1826970 65000 15000 312885 189344 42337 44431 694260 361710 411899 332550 3357 805837 573767 311870 153423 153423 6429313 6541716 239153 267148 623878 351230 863031 618378 X 4828374 5553167 737908 370171 5566282 5923338 6429313 6541716 311658 45398 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 4566000 4015061 5334025 4929966 5475393 24320445 4566000 4015061 5334025 4929966 5475393 24320445 50799 24269646 27200 45032 81570 125487 133528 412817 27655 199118 226773 24960035 0.97230 0.95980 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 200179 39632 160547 336510 228142 108368 157571 93936 63635 332550 Tenant deposits 5400 Lease Liability 345830 351230 7793103 45398 1625 66884 113907 7679196 0 7679196 7436047 1625 66884 68509 7367538 0 7367538 Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Special event expenses Part XII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Special event expenses Hungry Games 511681 305974 205707 94552 511681 305974 205707 94552 94552 111155 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 William Bracken President 211489 0 30492 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 241981 0 0 0 Jessica Bowen Family member of William Bracken, Officer & Director 62478 Compensation for employment 0 X 1500 3286305 X Auction items 89 66884 X Kitchen supplies 50 44428 0 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2 Bill and Molly Bracken have a family relationship.
