Activities or mission (Part I)

Feeding families today and uniting them to a healthier tomorrow.

  • Feeding Children Everywhere, Inc. (the "Organization") is a Florida not-for-profit corporation established to empower and mobilize people to assemble healthy meals for hungry children and their families. The Organization organizes scalable food packing events. These events are held primarily throughout the United States. The Organization implemented its first program in 2010 named Hunger Projects, allowing donors and volunteers to make a difference in the lives of hungry children, individuals and families worldwide. Hunger Project events consist of the packaging, shipment and donation of food to other nonprofit organizations in need. Those locations range from within the community near the packing sites, to international nonprofit organizations, or distributed directly to individuals and families through the Full Cart program. In an effort to diversify the Organization's revenue streams for operational and mission impact consistency, management developed a direct food delivery program named Fed 40. This program launched in 2016 and was intended to test the viability of direct shipment for food assistance packages. This program shipped over 350,000 meals within eighteen months of the pilot. The feedback received revealed an important component of need, which led the Organization to pilot to a larger scaled version of the program named Full Cart. The Full Cart Program, an online grocery delivery system model, was designed for individuals and families simply seeking a lower-cost alternative to expensive online food delivery programs within the domestic United States. Bringing Full Cart to scale required an adjustment in the Organization's warehouse capacity, a realignment of staffing needs and a change to our fundraising model. The Organization's donors include individuals, businesses, wholesalers, educational institutions, religious organizations, technical services and professional service organizations that provide the Organization with usable food, funding and resources to support our programs.

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.
