Operating from warehouses in Santa Barbara and Santa Maria, it supplies over 12 million pounds of fresh produce and nutritious groceries each year through a network of 200+ nonprofit partners, health programs, and schools. The Foodbank's operations span not just the county, but also the country through its membership in Feeding America, a national network of 200+ Food Banks.The 2019 County Disaster Relief Plan designated the Foodbank a lead agency in coordinating the county's nonprofits and governmental agencies in all emergency food relief efforts.Last fiscal year:- We distributed 12.1 million pounds of food to those in need. Including nearly, 5 million pounds of fresh produce and nutritious groceries.- We served 287,978 total unduplicated low-income individuals.- Of all clients served, 40% were children (0-17 years old); and 9% were older adults (60 years or older).- Of all clients served, 50% were female; and 75% were of Latinx/Hispanicindividuals.- A total 1,651 volunteers contributed 27,395 hours of their valuable time and service, assisting with various programs.Programs:The Foodbank's broad array of programs bring together community resources and 200+ partners to provide immediate and long-term solutions to neighbors facing food insecurity, recognizing the stress this experience inflicts upon mental and physical wellbeing disproportionately affects communities of color. These programs build a path to health equity providing access to culturally relevant, nutrient-dense foods, nutrition education and empowerment targeted specifically to the unique needs of various populations in our community.The Foodbank's holistic approach to food and health for children leads with innovation, engagement, and fun providing interactive lessons fostering a positive relationship with food and promoting whole, natural foods. For youth from preschool through teenage years, the sequence of programs build food literacy skills, positive body image and enjoyment of food and eating to support resiliency. Programs such as Kid's Farmers Market or Teens Love Cooking provide cooking lessons that explore cultural foods and nutrition messages that promote fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and legumes as part of a balanced diet.Several Foodbank programs support the local food production system and its intrinsic connection to community wellbeing, including food insecurity. With programs like Agricultores con Buena Salud/Healthy Farmworkers, the Foodbank ensures cultural foods, nutrition education and additional resources are available to farmworkers in their preferred languages and easy to access locations. In addition, striving to reduce waste and further sustainability in the food system, the Foodbank operates Backyard Bounty and Grocery Rescue programs, gleaning produce from local farms and gardens and recovering grocery items from local stores.The Foodbanks Older Adult Nutrition Program serves over 2,000 participants and provides home delivery services where needed for homebound seniors. Cooking classes for older adults provides access to nutrition information and social connection through food. Evaluation:To evaluate annual targets, we quantify outputs through pounds of food and produce distributed, number of neighbors served, number of volunteers and the hours they contribute, number of nonprofit partners, number of nutrition education lessons and hours. Data is captured through quarterly reports submitted by our agency and program partners. We quantify outcomes through a combination of qualitative (focus groups) and quantitative (survey) data collection performed at the start and conclusion of our programs or annually for on-going programs. Program Effectiveness is evaluated according to 5 domains: Knowledge, Attitudes/Beliefs, Self-efficacy/Skill-building, Community-wide participation and Behavior Change.Community Impact:Feeding America's "Hunger In America 2014 Study" of Foodbank clients indicates that 64% of Foobank clients had an annual income of $10,000 or less; 70% of households needed to chose between paying for food and utilities; 21% of households reported at least one member with diabetes. Food insecurity is linked with poor academic outcomes in children, higher risks of diabetes, hypertension and poor mental health in adults. In addition, food insecurity limits seniors' ability to perform independently. Foodbank programs work to address these issues. They create sustainable pathways towards food security by distributing nutritious foods; by providing nutrition education, healthy food demonstrations, cooking lessons, physical fitness activities and health screenings; and by assisting with CalFRESH/SNAP enrollments to help clients receive monthly benefits and achieve self-sufficiency. Foodbank services empower and transform the health of low-income children, adults and seniors county-wide.Disaster preparedness emerged as a key focus for the Foodbank after its emergency food relief efforts during the 2017 Thomas fire and 2018 Montecito mudslides disasters. In 2019, the Foodbank and 30 partner agencies - including government agencies, first responders and nonprofits - formulated the county's multi-agency disaster feeding plan. The plan provides a scalable effective framework for coordinating emergency feeding efforts within the county. In March 2020 with the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Foodbank rapidly implemented the steps recommended in the plan, setting up 50+ emergency food distribution sites throughout the county, including 20 drive-thru no-contact locations. All sites followed CDC-approved protocols to ensure the safety of clients and staff.Total program expenses were: $24,475,450 24475450 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 29 0 true 72 true true true false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 16 16 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X X Carrie Wanek 8059675741 82 Coromar Drive Goleta CA 93117 Erik Talkin CEO 40.00 0.00 X 257216 0 33022 Carrie Wanek CFO 40.00 0.00 X 164099 0 22432 Alisse Harris Dir Strat Giving 40.00 0.00 153436 0 19879 Paul Wilkins COO 40.00 0.00 140705 0 20018 Lacey Baldiviez Chief Impact Ofc. 40.00 0.00 127340 0 11959 Nathalie Keller Chief Develop Ofc. 40.00 0.00 125417 0 13122 Lisa Skvarla Chief People Ofc. 40.00 0.00 123365 0 11391 Christine Bisson Chair 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 David Bishop Vice Chair 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Melissa Petersen Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jessica Moitoza FormerTreasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Charlie Stolar Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Peter Brown Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tim Harrington Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Barry Spector Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ted Bruckner Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Magdalena Serrano Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sheraton Kalouria Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 George Bean Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carol Olson Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Yvette Cope Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Don Lafler Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Monica Solorzano Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 1091578 131823 8 false true false Frank Schipper Construction 610 E Cota St Santa Barbara CA 93103 Construction services 3554321 CIO Solutions 5425 Hollister Ave 160 Santa Barbara CA 93111 IT services 1377755 AB Design PO Box 22204 Santa Barbara CA 93109 Architect Consulting 553668 3 2100521 24379402 16972147 26479923 Handling Fees 445100 512785 512785 512785 1089844 1089844 0 0 546945 233040 313905 313905 313905 11519554 11419363 100191 100191 100191 438637 72949 365688 0 0 0 28862336 512785 313905 1190035 0 0 0 0 0 0 4306354 2553900 491805 1260649 103525 61080 11388 31057 605159 358247 73357 173555 338601 200809 38669 99123 0 8602 8602 53123 53123 0 0 0 0 71186 636 70550 507527 253047 175815 78665 0 0 96836 69169 27667 82692 46210 20125 16357 0 0 218599 218599 0 0 0 COGS - donated food 10734672 10734672 COGS - USDA 6023534 6023534 COGS - purchased food 1548905 1548905 Warehouse expenses 679720 654142 24749 829 2231887 1752500 142204 337183 27610922 24475450 1067504 2067968 364532 254846 15252440 16618596 4587156 2471729 31519 19922 0 0 0 1175110 1241849 0 27501894 5682023 16999732 21819871 10084610 7976485 514991 523610 0 0 927964 974440 49938054 51901348 795900 1198955 6471 6471 7465406 7281562 374966 403762 8642743 8890750 X 31094196 38097881 10201115 4912717 41295311 43010598 49938054 51901348 X 1251414 448986 14887 X false true X true true true X 28600188 38801479 41626576 27111747 9507776 145647766 0 61200 61200 86592 61200 61200 331392 28661388 38862679 41713168 27172947 9568976 145979158 0 145979158 75975 36107 218572 573922 1089844 1994420 -16274 -4994 42648 193177 312905 527462 0 148501040 0.98300 0.99270 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 6005789 372245 6378034 6005789 6005789 6005789 6005789 5584 6000000 205 6005789 5584 5584 0.99810 0.00190 false false false 8000000 8000000 6637999 1836325 4801674 2222711 1074148 1148563 1571264 1089437 481827 9069920 1682113 7387807 21819871 Employee benefit plan liability 225918 Operating lease liability 132702 Tenant deposits 45142 403762 X 29387409 448986 61200 24820 535006 28852403 9933 9933 28862336 27672122 61200 61200 27610922 27610922 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Foodbank is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and California income taxes under section 23701(d) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code.
