We process an array of locally grown vegetables. We also provide weekly distributions of fresh produce, pasture-raised meats, and healthy scratch-made meals to food insecure seniors and families in our community. We also collaborate on food system planning efforts, working with government agencies and civic organizations to design more inclusive and sustainable regional food systems. 39527 0 500 What's Growing On: Through our education programs, we reached more than 1000 elementary students monthly with healthy eating lessons, healthy snacks, and take home activities. These materials promote food system literacy and connections to seasonal, local harvests. 65570 1064 23511 Climate Mobilization: Our climate programs include efforts to support farmers in adopting climate-friendly practices, reduce our own carbon emissions, and engage leaders and organizations region-wide in addressing the climate crisis. We engaged a cohort of farmers in researching the benefits of cover cropping, addressed food waste through composting and farmer partnerships, began the process of installing solar panels on our food hub, researched gaps in existing climate outreach programs, and began advancing regional climate dialogues. 35071 22000 100 Engagement: We engage our fellow community members working together to build economically resilient, environmentally sustainable, and culturally vibrant rural communities. In 2022, we provided grants to 15 small businesses in our community to support COVID recovery. We also advised a flood-impacted community on a stakeholder engagement and documentation project. 35071 22000 100 627690 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 17 0 1 47 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 NC X Carla Norwood 2522570205 108 S Main St Warrenton NC 27589 Carla Norwood Executive Director 35 0 X X 51153 0 0 Kim Harris Board Chair 1 0 X 0 0 0 Beth Wethington Board Secretary 1 0 X 0 0 0 Rudi Colloredo-Mansfeld Board Treasurer 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jerry Edmonds Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Monica McCann Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 51153 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 203137 452155 0 655292 Contract Income 813410 47009 47009 0 0 Program Service Fee 813410 630 630 0 0 0 0 0 0 47639 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 475 0 0 0 475 0 475 475 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 354949 329719 25230 25230 0 0 0 728637 73344 0 1 22000 22000 1064 1064 0 0 0 0 51153 32226 11254 7673 0 365810 339880 13665 12265 0 0 0 0 34012 28029 3170 2813 31893 28466 1906 1521 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 31567 31567 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 26616 26616 75 67 4 4 13316 13177 82 57 8808 8082 402 324 0 0 0 0 72706 71158 837 711 9492 9016 260 216 0 0 0 0 3236 3205 0 31 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9560 8114 1051 395 Sales and Use Tax 10870 10870 0 0 Materials and Supplies 7274 7198 45 31 Local Food Purchases 3390 3390 0 0 Dues, Subscriptions, Licenses 3300 507 2786 7 19131 14625 4184 322 725273 627690 71213 26370 62193 15535 32626 92 0 0 36545 42936 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1199610 147998 961911 1051612 0 0 0 0 0 0 8000 8000 0 0 1101275 1118175 520 23129 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 45710 36637 0 0 0 46230 59766 X 936089 973328 118956 85081 1055045 1058409 1101275 1118175 3364 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 297082 590651 511685 791354 657112 2847884 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 297082 590651 511685 791354 657112 2847884 310000 2537884 -22 7 19 10 1 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2847899 403064 0.89114 0.758 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 62918 62918 0 577398 11522 565876 0 521 521 0 0 424291 124188 300103 0 134482 11767 122715 1051612 Gabriel Cumming family member of Director Carla Norwood 67124 staff compensation, including health benefits 0 Schedule L, Part IV Gabriel Cumming, Associate Director, is married to Carla Norwood, Executive Director. Form 990, Part III, Line 2 While we have not made significant changes to our programs, we have updated the way that we are reporting on our programs for the Form 990. We have combined Food Hub with Food System Development, tying all of our food-focused programs together under the new name, Local Food Access. Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Other program services description: Engagement: We engage our fellow community members working to build economically resilient, environmentally sustainable and climate adaptable communities. In 2022, we provided technical support and grants to 15 small businesses in our community to support COVID recovery, and advised a flood-impacted community on a planning and documentary project. We also conducted original research to better understand how rural communities can effectively engage in climate resilience planning. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Prior to filing the return, it is distributed to the full board for review. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Board members and directors review the Conflict of Interest policy yearly. It is the responsibility of each person to disclose any potential conflicts known, or that reasonably should be known. Individuals with conflicts are excused from the room when matters related to the conflict are decided upon. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 The three most recent Form 990s (including financial information), the Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, Form 1023 Application for Exemption, and Conflict of Interest policy are provided to the public upon request. We are very sorry for the late return. We switched to a new accounting firm at the beginning of 2023, and I did not realize that they had not filed the Form 8868 requesting an extension for the 2022 tax year. Typically, our accountant completes our return, but the new firm does not. We apologize for the oversight.
