Program accomplishments
- During the year, our organization served approximately 1,000 children and delivered approximately 150,000 meals through our program. These accomplishments were significantly supported by gifts-in-kind not reported on Form 990: * Cobb Technologies donated the use of facilities and delivery trucks to operate a food pantry in Henrico, VA. The estimated fair market value of these contributions was $16,308, excluding the value of employee time also provided.* Sojourn Advisors provided professional services valued at $15,075 to evaluate and optimize the nutritional value of our menu. Their recommendations were implemented, directly enhancing the quality of meals provided.In addition to the program-related gifts-in-kind disclosed in Part III, our organization received several non-financial contributions that were essential to administrative and management operations. These gifts-in-kind were not reported in Form 990 financials due to IRS exclusions for donated services and use of facilities, but they significantly enhanced our capacity and impact.- Donated office space used for administrative functions. Estimated value: $4,200.- Donated meeting space for board meetings. Estimated value: $2,375.- Donated professional services including graphic design, website maintenance, and accounting. Estimated value: $4,617.- Donated business software used for operations. Estimated value: $720.Expenses $163,800
