| Form 990, Part I, Line 6 | SIERRA HARVEST VOLUNTEERS: This year 152 generous volunteers worked over 1,900 hours to help Sierra Harvest accomplish their mission and vision. These volunteers built backyard gardens for low income families, donated their time to help harvest fruit and vegetables that would otherwise go to waste from farms and home orchards and distributed them to those in need. They turned beds, planted starts, harvested, and weeded at our Food Love Educational Farm. They helped our staff adapt to a new online communication model via Zoom that allowed our community to deeply engage in supporting the local food movement. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 2 | School food in Western Nevada County was long overdue for an overhaul. In 2020, nine Western Nevada County school districts and Sierra Harvest engaged the Chef Ann Foundation to improve the experience and quality of school meals, thus providing more children with the nutrition they need to support academic performance and physical, mental and social wellbeing. We began developing a unique, one-of-a-kind student nutrition program that moves past the outdated model of processed food that is frozen, reheated, and wrapped in plastic to a healthier, sustainable model featuring scratch cooked meals using local and regional foods. Foothills Fresh scratch cooked school meals for all provides meals, education, and long term health benefits for generations to come. This state of the art meal program will serve up to 10,000 students during and after school as well as summer feeding needs. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 3 | Sierra Harvest adapted to the pandemic and made modifications to programs following Nevada County Public Health guidance. Farm to school activities were mostly limited to Harvest of the month tastings and school garden education. Farm potlucks were adapted to farm tours focused more on connecting producers and farmers, and our Farm Biz classes and Sustainable Food and Farm Conference went virtual in collaboration with Ecofarm. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b | FORM 990 REVIEW PROCESS: The 990 is reviewed by the Board of Directors prior to submission. The 990 is first submitted to the Finance Committee. The Finance Committee reviews the 990, suggests corrections, and then presents the amended document to the full board. The board then reviews the 990 prior to submission. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c | EXPLANATION OF MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT OF CONFLICTS: Board members sign our conflict of interest policy when they join the board and it is reviewed by the Executive Director and then filed. Each year, board members are asked to fill out a conflict of interest disclosure statement. Any items of interest are reviewed by the Executive Director. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 | COMPENSATION REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS (CEO & TOP MANAGEMENT AND OFFICERS & EMPLOYEES): Executive Director prepares a budget based on the Non Profit Resource Center's "Compensation Guide for Northern CA" and the Board approves it.
