SADLY, THOSE LIVING WITH FOOD INSECURITY EXPERIENCE HIGHER RATES OF CHRONIC ILLNESS, HAVE POOR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES AND LOWER EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT, WHICH FURTHER PERPETUATES THE CYCLE OF POVERTY AND FOOD INSECURITY. THE OC HUNGER ALLIANCE REPORTS THE COUNTY'S FOOD INSECURITY RATE IS PROJECTED TO BE 13.7% NEXT YEAR, AS NEARLY 300,000 HOUSEHOLDS LOSE EMERGENCY ALLOTMENTS FROM THE FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. THESE RESOURCES HAVE KEPT FAMILIES AFLOAT, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT LOST INCOME DUE TO THE PANDEMIC.EVERY DAY, OUR COMMUNITY FEEDING TEAM PREPARES THOUSANDS OF HEALTHY, DELICIOUS, AND NUTRITIOUS MEALS AND DELIVERS THEM, ALONG WITH FRESH PRODUCE AND OTHER FOOD PROVISIONS TO CHILDREN, ADULTS, AND SENIORS THROUGH A VARIETY OF LOCAL FEEDING PROGRAMS. OUR DISTRIBUTION NETWORK ENABLES US TO EXPAND OUR IMPACT, REACHING LARGER GROUPS OF HUNGRY FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS THROUGH 48 COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS AND EVER-GROWING COLLEGE CAMPUS FEEDING PROGRAMS. PACKAGED FOODS ARE DELIVERED TO COMMUNITY-BASED SITES SUCH AS HOMELESS AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHELTERS, SENIOR CENTERS, AND VETERANS' PROGRAMS WHERE THEY ARE DISTRIBUTED TO THOSE IN NEED. IN ADDITION, OUR COMMUNITY FEEDING PROGRAM'S FOOD TRUCKS (BABS & BLUE) TAKES MEALS INTO HIGH-NEED COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, CREATING A CENTRAL GATHERING PLACE FOR INDIVIDUALS IN NEED TO SHARE A MEAL TOGETHER AT DIFFERENT SITES THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.SINCE INCEPTION, WE HAVE DISTRIBUTED CLOSE TO 7 MILLION HEALTHY TASTY MEALS WITH A GOAL OF 2 MILLION MEALS PER YEAR. 409226 RESCUED FOOD PROGRAMCURRENTLY, THERE IS NO ORGANIZATION IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LIKE BRACKEN'S KITCHEN THAT CAN TRANSFORM LARGE VOLUMES OF RESCUED FOOD INTO TASTY AND NUTRITIOUS MEALS AND THEN DELIVER THOSE MEALS TO PEOPLE IN NEED.WITH OUR RESCUED FOOD PROGRAM, BRACKEN'S KITCHEN USES A UNIQUE APPROACH TO PROVIDE HEALTHY, HOME-COOKED, AND DELICIOUS MEALS TO CHILDREN, WORKING ADULTS, HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS, VETERANS, AND ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS ON LIMITED INCOMES. EVERY DAY, WE ACCEPT PALLETS OF SURPLUS FOOD. WE THEN USE THAT FOOD AS A BASIS FOR HEALTHY MEALS, DRAWING ON THE CREATIVE CULINARY SKILLS OF EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL CHEFS TO COOK DELICIOUS MEALS AT VERY LOW COST. AT BRACKEN'S KITCHEN, RESCUED FOOD INCLUDES:2,200 POUNDS OF ORGANIC CHICKEN BREAST THAT WAS REJECTED BY WHOLE FOODS MARKETS DUE TO SIZE AND WEIGHT IRREGULARITIES. 1,500 POUNDS OF FROZEN CORN THAT WAS PURCHASED BY A FOOD MANUFACTURER TO MAKE A LARGE BATCH OF CORN CHOWDER, ONLY TO HAVE THE CHOWDER ORDER CANCELED.THREE PALLETS OF FRESH BROCCOLI THAT COULDN'T BE SOLD BECAUSE IT WAS STARTING TO WILT, AND A LARGE SUPPLY OF HIGH-QUALITY MEAT, CHICKEN, AND SEAFOOD THAT'S BEEN PURCHASED BY PREMIER FOOD VENDORS BUT NEVER SOLD AND THEN HAD TO BE FROZEN. 81845 30539 CULINARY TRAINING PROGRAMAS ORANGE COUNTY EMERGED FROM THE PANDEMIC AND THE HOSPITALITY SECTOR REBUILT STAFF AND REGAIN THEIR FOOTING, WE RECOGNIZED THAT WORKFORCE TRAINING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER. IN 2022, WE FULLY LAUNCHED OUR RE-IMAGINED CULINARY TRAINING PROGRAM TO PROVIDE VOCATIONAL SKILLS AND REAL-LIFE JOB EXPERIENCE TO UNDER-SERVED LOCAL YOUTH. IN THE 22-WEEK CULINARY TRAINING PROGRAM, BRACKEN'S KITCHEN PROVIDES 16 STUDENTS/MODULE WITH THE INTRODUCTORY SKILLS NEEDED FOR EMPLOYMENT IN A PROFESSIONAL KITCHEN. THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO PREPARE YOUNG ADULTS TO ENTER THE CULINARY INDUSTRY WHERE THERE IS A DEMAND FOR SKILLED WORKERS AND THE ABILITY TO ADVANCE IN THE FIELD. FURTHER, THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, WE HOPE TO LAUNCH A GENERATION OF CULINARY STUDENTS WHO NOT ONLY HAVE THE SKILLS REQUIRED FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER BUT AN EYE ON FOOD WASTE AND A HEART FOR GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITIES THEY LIVE AND WORK IN. ULTIMATELY, BRACKEN'S KITCHEN'S CULINARY TRAINING PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO SERVE AS A FOUNDATION FOR CAREER SUCCESS, FINANCIAL STABILITY, AND HELP BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY FOR AT-RISK YOUNG ADULTS AS THEY ARE SET UP FOR A LONG-TERM CAREER PATH IN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY. THE IMPACT OF THIS PROGRAM EXTENDS BEYOND THE STUDENTS WHO ENROLL IN THE PROGRAM, ALSO IMPACTING THOSE WE FEED AND THE COMMUNITY THEY INSPIRE. WE GRADUATED OUR SECOND CULINARY TRAINING COHORT IN SPRING 2023 AND ARE EAGER TO CONTINUE THIS TRAJECTORY OF SUCCESS. 4092260 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 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 18 0 1 29 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 BILL BRACKEN PRESIDENT 50.00 X X 166926 0 12339 MOLLY BRACKEN SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 HILDA JUSUF TREASURER 0.50 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL PEARSON DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 DOUGLAS SCHONFELD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NICHOLE SMITH DIRECTOR (UNTIL 9/23.22) 0.25 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 142627 0 6591 309553 0 18930 2 0 1 0 0 77698 98034 20000 3819329 1551092 4015061 COMMUNITY FEEDING PROG 900099 1032274 1032274 CATERING INCOME 722320 61078 61078 1093352 150 150 44882 0 44882 44882 44882 800 0 800 800 800 243420 98034 44301 199119 199119 WORKERS COMPENSATION R 900099 8593 8593 8593 5361957 1093352 0 253544 179265 146356 19049 13860 1141080 931605 121252 88223 68507 60118 2758 5631 92545 75719 9946 6880 21118 21118 19699 5395 513 13791 25650 12710 12940 13651 11876 992 783 20903 19681 1127 95 251831 232220 19611 1290 455 552 283 10418 9593 9 816 14878 14878 243595 228927 14668 45282 31950 11443 1889 FOOD EXPENSE 2046816 2046752 64 SUPPLIES 225876 224878 998 AUTOMOBILE 22570 22570 BANK FEES 19522 19522 41674 31455 10219 4506170 4092260 267657 146253 3022102 1314551 2300151 154200 200000 169513 257727 17841 25420 428718 148287 179699 280431 558583 16352 153259 3559707 5090122 176744 211628 4360 644104 181104 855732 X 2868403 3475319 510200 759071 3378603 4234390 3559707 5090122 855787 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1112400 1831246 4347304 4566000 4015061 15872011 1112400 1831246 4347304 4566000 4015061 15872011 723487 15148524 137311 39066 27200 45032 248609 101945 18050 8820 27655 199118 355588 16476208 3219708 0.91940 0.92100 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 105078 2335 102743 135424 45449 89975 188216 100503 87713 280431 TENANT DEPOSITS 11765 LEASE LIABILITY 632339 644104 X 5385259 4610 4610 5380649 -18692 -18692 5361957 4529472 4610 18692 23302 4506170 0 4506170 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION HAS RECEIVED TAX-EXEMPT STATUS FROM THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AND CALIFORNIA FRANCHISE TAX BOARD UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND UNDER REVENUE AND TAXATION CODE SECTION 23701D, RESPECTIVELY.
