Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

HELP KITCHEN'S MISSION IS TO END HUNGER WITH NUTRITIOUS FOOD THAT FITS INTO THE BUSY SCHEDULES OF LOW INCOME, FOOD INSECURE FOLKS. SO OFTEN, EMERGENCY FOOD IS OPTIMIZED TO REDUCE COSTS FOR PROVIDERS, INSTEAD OF PRIORITIZING THE NEEDS OF THE BENEFICIARY. MANY INTERVENTIONS REQUIRE PEOPLE TO WAIT IN LONG LINES, PICKUP FOOD THAT MAY NOT MEET THEIR DIETARY AND HOUSEHOLD NEEDS, OR ARE LIMITED TO A SINGLE MEAL. THE EXPERIENCE IS OFTEN UNDIGNIFIED. HELP KITCHEN IS TACKLING THESE PROBLEMS BY CREATING TECH-ENABLED PLATFORMS TO MATCH FOOD INSECURE INDIVIDUALS WITH AVAILABLE RESOURCES.

  • IN 2022, HELP KITCHEN OFFERED AN ON DEMAND, EMERGENCY SERVICE TO MATCH FOOD INSECURE INDIVIDUALS WITH FREE, HOT MEALS THAT WERE AVAILABLE FOR PICKUP AT PARTNER RESTAURANTS. SOMEONE IN NEED WOULD ACCESS THIS PROGRAM BY TEXTING "FOOD" TO A LOCAL NUMBER, AND THEN THROUGH A SERIES OF SIMPLE EXCHANGES THEY WOULD BE MATCHED WITH A LOCAL RESTAURANT THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO OFFER THEM FREE, READY TO EAT MEALS FOR UP TO EIGHT PEOPLE IN THEIR HOUSEHOLD. THE MAJORITY OF FUNDS THAT WERE DISTRIBUTED AS PART OF THIS HOT MEAL PROGRAM PAID FOR THE COST OF THE MEALS. THIS PROGRAM WAS ACTIVE IN A HANDFUL OF GEOGRAPHIES, BUT THE THREE MOST ACTIVE AND IMPACTFUL CITIES WERE SAN FRANCISCO, DETROIT, AND METRO DENVER.

    Expenses $7,585,364

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
