Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

WE EMPOWER PEOPLE TO SUSTAINABLY GROW FOOD IN AND NEAR THE SITE BY SUPPLEMENTING CURRICULUM AND NUTRITUTION IN SCHOOL AND COMMUNITIES. FARMER FROG MENTORS STUDENTS FAMILIES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES OFFERING A HAND-UP FOR STRONG EDUCATION ENDING CHILD HUNGER AND POVERTY AND ENCOURAGING GOOD HEALTH. WE CONTINUED TO DISTRIBUTE FOOD AND PPE THROUGH OUR LARGE SCALE DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM STARTED IN 2020.

Activities or mission (Part I)

WE ARE GROWING KIDS CULTIVATING COMMUNITY AND NURTURING HABITAT FOR ALL LIVING BEINGS THROUGH REAL FOOD. SPROUTING SIMPLE CHANGE.

We continued our distribution of food during 2023. Due to severe budget cuts we had to limit the numbers of families we served as we just could not support the same numbers as in the previous years. The need for food is still extreme for many of the underrepresented and marginalized communities we serve. We are still strongly set as a leading distributor for the state and others parts of the nation.

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.
