The mission of the FEAST is to empower youth and families to grow, prepare and enjoy fruits and vegetables through hands-on cooking and garden education. We partner with local schools and organizations to deliver standards-aligned lessons and maintenance support for educational gardens in Asheville's public schools. FEAST is offered at 14 locations delivering in-school, after school and summer curriculum. The school gardens that we manage serve as community food hubs, and their continued improved functioning and community involvement will positively impact countless residents of the surrounding neighborhoods of each garden. Throughout the school year, we evaluate the effectiveness of our lessons and meet with school administration to check in about programmatic needs and updates. At the end of the school year, we evaluate the program as a whole and gather feedback from teachers, families, and school administration. Community Garden Network: This program of Bountiful Cities supports around 38 community gardens in Asheville/Buncombe County. Bountiful Cities facilitates information and resource sharing, gardening education, workshops, and monthly Meetups and Newsletter. The CGN also houses a seed and tool library, participates in shared fundraising and volunteer recruitments, while connecting area gardeners with support systems. The monthly workshops and Newsletter have been relevant to continue to connect neighborhoods to the larger community of support and education. Bountiful Cities also works on many collaborative programs supporting the creation of local healthy community food systems. Our organization has served as lead agency for multiple projects and continues to be a relevant partner with these organizations as they become sufficient. In 2022 Bountiful Cities staff served in leadership roles with the fledging Western North Carolina Food Justice Planning Initiative (WNCFJPI). In these leadership roles the WNCFJIP received several grants that allowed the 6 strategy areas to hire support staff to increase organizational capacity. The WNCFJIP includes 22 counties in Western North Carolina with over 22 agencies, non-profits, funders and community members. The purpose is to have thriving regenerative, resilient local food systems centering food justice for all in WNC. 582503 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 26 0 15 true false false false false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false NC X Darcel Eddins 8282574000 50 South French Broad Avenue Suite Asheville NC 28801 Darcel Eddins Executive Director 50.00 X 34000 0 0 Ameena Batada Chairperson 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Katie Cos Secretary 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Brandee Bogg Treasurer 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Lauren Rayburn Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Jessie Dean Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Sekou Coleman Board Member 5.00 X 13750 0 0 Gene Ettison Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Vanessa Chardos Board member 5.00 X 0 0 0 47750 0 0 false false false 8258 82447 418918 509623 Professional Services Revenue 541490 3880 0 0 Events and Workshops 611710 70344 0 0 74224 127 0 127 5611 8258 1675 3936 0 3936 500 500 500 Miscellaneous 900099 884 0 0 884 884 589294 74224 0 5447 29679 29679 34000 27200 3400 3400 259352 207482 25935 25935 25367 20294 2536 2537 4695 0 4695 0 2408 0 2408 0 2117 1333 617 167 3355 2684 335 336 12533 11280 1253 0 686 617 69 0 122 0 122 0 3575 1064 2511 0 Program Expenses 279582 279582 0 0 Staff Development 1136 1022 114 0 Professional License/Membership 306 0 306 0 Event Expense 266 266 0 0 659179 582503 44301 32375 25392 57760 250273 150121 612800 612800 612800 888465 820681 6145 8246 6145 8246 X 750820 788603 131500 23832 882320 812435 888465 820681 -69885 X X true X false true false X 0 622658 313627 329119 418663 509623 2193690 0 0 622658 313627 329119 418663 509623 2193690 747773 1445917 44 106 139 227 127 643 0 884 884 2195217 367474 0.65870 0.63160 X 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: Other Income 2022: 884.
