| Form 990, Part III, line 2 | Nappie Project: In July of 2021 FBLC officially incorporated The Nappie Project, a formerly independent 501(c)(3) non-profit diaper bank, as an FBLC Program. The Nappie Project sources donated and purchased diapers, wipes, and associated products, and distributes them through Fresh Food Share programs, and to agency partners. The Nappie Project distributed more than 664,228 individual diapers and packages of wipes to 17 different agency partners, and over 5,200 individuals in FY2022. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Program Service Accomplishments: | We collect food and funds from a variety of sources, including businesses, farms, food drives, individuals, and Feeding America, the nation's largest domestic hunger-relief organization. Food donations are distributed to individuals in need through three overlapping and integrated programs: Fresh Food Share, Nourishing Network and Nutritious Kitchen. Fresh Food Share: Our Fresh Food Share program is one of the nation's largest, client-choice, fresh food pantry programs. We have brick and mortar locations in Fort Collins and Loveland, and also operate three mobile pantries in partnership with community organizations. Fresh Food Share distributes fruits, vegetables, bread, meat, and dairy to more than 22,500 individuals, representing more than 11,000 households over the course of the year. Individuals qualify for Food Share based on residency and gross monthly income. Our goal is to provide each person with enough food for at least one meal per day each month. We served 6,333,324 meals through Fresh Food Share programs in FY2022. Nutritious Kitchen: Our Nutritious Kitchen provides meals and snacks for a variety of sites serving vulnerable child and senior populations. Our Child Nutrition programs include Kids Cafe and Kids Link. Kids Cafe provides nutritious meals and snacks after school and during the summer at sites throughout Larimer County. Through Kids Cafe, we served over 282,000 meals and snacks to eligible school-aged children. In partnership with the Junior League of Fort Collins, Kids Link supplies packaged snacks to qualifying schools to assist children who display signs of hunger. In partnership with the Junior League of Fort Collins, Kids Link provided over 72,000 healthy, individually packaged snacks to qualifying schools in Poudre and Thompson School Districts. Our Senior Nutrition program provides meals for Volunteers of America congregate senior meal sites. During FY2022, we shifted from providing individual, frozen meals to ready to eat and hot meals. This allowed VOA's clients to eat as part of a congregate group or to participate in a drive-thru and take the meals home to eat. In partnership with VOA, the program provided over 15,000 meals for seniors. This represented the most meals served since the start of the pandemic. Nourishing Network: Nourishing Network provides food to over 110 non-profit organization programs to distribute to their clients in need. These programs include food pantries, kitchens, shelters, and snack programs that serve low-income populations. Last year, we saved our partner agencies over $2.8 million on food costs. This program distributed 1,394,233 meals through our partner agencies to those in need. Outreach Services: Our Outreach Services team consists of the Cooking Matters nutrition education, SNAP (food stamps) and other benefit outreach and application assistance, and both federal and non-federal programs for seniors. The COVID pandemic required several creative ideas to be implemented and improved to ensure we met clients where they were. Cooking Matters continued our partnerships with organizations such as Poudre School District's PSD After 3 program and Little Bears Childcare, Inc. targeting parents and caregivers of children 0 -5 years old. We also added 3 new partnerships: House of Neighborly Service's Parents As Teachers program, PSD's Head Start, and Thompson Valley Preschool. Growing our partnerships helps us meet people where they already are-schools, preschools, the food bank, their homes, etc.-and allows us to provide more equitable access. In addition to growing our reach through partnerships, we added a bilingual (Spanish/English) educator in FY2022. With the addition of a bilingual educator, we've been able to offer classes in either language, which has helped us build more and expand upon already existing partnerships. We are up to .75 FTE for our nutrition education team and held 49 classes virtually or in person in FY2022. We assisted 4,530 individuals representing 2,896 households with SNAP applications and recertifications, facilitating access to over 2.2 million meals and generating over $11.5 million of local economic impact. We continue to feel the impact of COVID and search for creative ways to reach people experiencing food insecurity. As Volunteers of America (VOA) returned to congregate meals, our senior program distributed over 7,000 federal commodity boxes, coupled with fresh produce. These boxes helped provide both shelf stable and fresh produce for many of our senior (over 60-year-old) clients. Home Delivery: The program was revised in the summer of 2021 and continued into 2022 with no new clients being added to the program. Currently, we have a monthly delivery roster consisting of 50 elderly, homebound or immune-compromised individuals. There are 7 delivery routes in Fort Collins and Loveland run monthly with the assistance of our volunteer drivers. Nappie Project: In July of 2021 FBLC officially incorporated The Nappie Project, a formerly independent 501(c)(3) non-profit diaper bank, as an FBLC Program. The Nappie Project sources donated and purchased diapers, wipes, and associated products, and distributes them through Fresh Food Share programs, and to agency partners. The Nappie Project distributed more than 664,228 individual diapers and packages of wipes to 17 different agency partners, and over 5,200 individuals in FY2022. Curbside Pickup: For the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Food Bank for Larimer County operated all Fresh Food Share pantries and mobile pantries in a drive-through model to minimize contact. This continued from March 2020 through September 2021. In October of 2021, we resumed in-person shopping indoors at both of our brick-and-mortar locations. To address the needs of individuals who were uncomfortable or unable to resume shopping inside, we launched a Curbside Pickup. Clients can sign up for a pickup slot via an online portal and provide input as to their dietary restrictions. A staff member or volunteer then assembles a cart of food similar to what clients shopping inside receive, taking into account the dietary requests of the curbside client, and the food is brought out to the client's car upon arrival. Since launching in October of 2021, we have completed 660 curbside orders, serving more than 600 unduplicated individuals representing more than 250 households. Local Farm Purchasing Program: In the wake of widespread business closures in the spring of 2020, FBLC recognized a possible hardship for local, small-scale farmers, who we suspected may be facing canceled restaurant purchasing contracts, a sudden lack of farmer's market sales opportunities, and cancelled CSA memberships. Engaging two former CSU graduates, we surveyed as many DTC (direct-to-consumer) farmers in our community as we could reach and found that our assumptions were correct. Leveraging our sudden influx of funds due to the outpouring of community support, we formed agreements with many of these local farmers to purchase their unsold produce at market value, thereby creating a safety net for our local food system that would not negatively impact or dissuade their other customer relationships. Through a variety of funding sources, we have been able to continue this program since 2020, and in FY2022 we worked with 6 different local farms to source over 17,400 pounds of fresh, local produce. This program contributed $28,492 to the local food economy through farmer-direct purchases in FY2022. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The preliminary copy of Form 990 is reviewed by the CFO, Finance Committee of the Board of Directors and the CEO. Once these reviews are complete, the Form 990 is sent to the full Board of Directors for review and approval before filing. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | The organization's conflict of interest policy covers all board members, officers, employees, and others who can influence the actions of the Food Bank of Larimer County. The existence of any potential conflicts of interest shall be disclosed to the board of directors on a timely basis and before any transaction is consummated. A person with an actual or potential conflict of interest is excluded from the deliberations of the transaction or arrangement and shall refrain from voting on the matter. The board shall determine whether a conflict exists and shall determine whether the Food Bank can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If none can be obtained, the board shall determine by majority vote whether the proposed transaction or arrangement is fair, reasonable, and in the Food Bank's best interest. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | Salary Compensation studies are done every year. Our last study was done by the Human Resources Director in March of 2021. The Human Resources Director's process includes obtaining compensation data from Feeding America Food Banks, other Colorado non-profit survey results, Salary.com, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) market data. The Board of Directors uses this data to set the Chief Executive Officer's salary. All other employee salaries were brought to 70% or higher of market value. Salaries for fiscal year 2021-22 were based upon the results of the 2021 study, with an average cost of living raise at 7.09% and a 2% bonus. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | Governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and full financial statements are available to the public upon request either by phone or in writing. We also post our annual report on our website which gives a breakdown of our annual financial information. Audited financial statements are also posted on our website, along with the 990. |
