In its 2023 fiscal year, GSFB distributed over 40 million pounds of food to partners and the families and individuals they serve, providing over 33 million meals for Mainers in need. 2939881 6210 0 Mainers Feeding Mainers: this program is the Food Bank's collaboration with local farms to purchase and distribute nutritious, Maine-grown food. Each year, the Food Bank makes purchases of fresh Maine vegetables, fruits, grains, and dairy products on behalf of partner agencies. The Food Bank also receives donations from many local farmers. In fiscal year 2023, the Food Bank distributed nearly 3.6 million pounds of local foods and invested $2,800,000 into Maine's agricultural sector. 2369600 160503 56923 Good Shepherd Food Bank operates the School Pantry Program to provide easy, consistent access to nutritious food for students and their families. Our school partners not only serve as food distribution sites in vulnerable areas, but also function as vital community resource hubs where families feel welcomed, supported, and safe. In addition, the Food Bank operates an afterschool meal & snack program called Kids Cafe and the Summer Food Service and Child & Adult Care Food Programs in Bangor and Brewer. In collaboration with 230 program partners, GSFB provided access to over 2.2 million meals for more than 11,000 families statewide through Youth & Family Initiatives in FY23. 1717219 68676 332430 Good Shepherd Food Bank engages in many other activities that are important to its mission. The most significant of these other program service accomplishments are as follows: Cooking Matters Maine: an outreach program that mobilizes culinary and nutrition professionals to teach cooking and nutrition classes to low-income adults, teens, and children. Classes are taught at local community centers, schools, and food pantries, and the classes provide people at risk of hunger with hands-on cooking and nutrition experience. In fiscal year 2023, the program offered 143 Cooking Matters classes and 76 store tours to more than 2,400 participants.Farm Fresh Rewards: The Food Bank partners with 18 Maine grocers to offer shoppers using SNAP/EBT discounts on fresh, frozen, and dried local fruits and vegetables grown in Maine that contain no added salt, sugars, or fats, as well as local food-producing seeds or seedlings.Community Health and Hunger: the Food Bank forms partnerships with health care organizations to reduce the negative impact of food insecurity on health outcomes. Through the program, the Food Bank provides training and technical assistance for health care providers implementing food insecurity screening and referral to food resources, and supports projects that directly distribute food in health care settings for patients in need. In fiscal year 2023, the Food Bank worked with 170 partners to provide nearly 632,000 meals to people who screened positive for food insecurity. 1717219 68676 332430 80749103 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 130 0 1 119 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 20 20 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X Bryan O'Connor 2077823554 PO Box 1807 Auburn ME 042111807 John Bennett Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tae Chong Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Darroch Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michelle Draeger Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Peter Forester Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jason Fournier Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marwa Hassanien Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michelle Hayes Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dora Ann Mills Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Nutting Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Frank Pecoraro Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Odette Perriel Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Victoria W Rogers Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Andrea Sockabasin Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Williamson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Wright Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ben Sprague Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Scott Maker Vice Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Peter Richardson Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kate Rush Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kristen Miale President 39.20 0.80 X 142248 0 37719 Bryan O'Connor VP, Finance & Administion 37.30 2.70 X 114670 0 18002 Matt Chin President, Harvesting Good 0.00 40.00 X 114385 0 22935 Erin Fogg Vice President, Development 40.00 0.00 X 115362 0 27370 George Fox Vice President, Supply Chain 40.00 0.00 X 113684 0 7621 600349 0 113647 5 0 1 0 TrueSense Marketing 155 Commerce Drive Freedom PA 15042 Marketing and fundraising 947001 HE Callahan Construction Co PO Box 677 Auburn ME 04210 Construction 633732 Ryder Transportation Services PO Box 96723 Chicacgo IL 60693 Vehicles and Transit Services 195519 Oracle America Inc 15612 Collections Center Drive Chicacgo IL 60693 Software support and solutions 178494 Fionta Inc PO Box 223481 Chantilly VA 20153 Software consulting 131533 8 10226 236206 12917025 62255183 58972839 75418640 Product Income 624210 3317371 3317371 Program Income 624210 257517 257517 3574888 562292 562292 7000000 7884259 -884259 -884259 -884259 0 236206 0 0 78671561 3574888 0 -321967 3006824 3006824 312639 71987 186662 53990 5650216 3704991 825735 1119490 314780 199061 58106 57613 944686 656236 146919 141531 504099 347885 72328 83886 6225 6225 52350 52350 184202 184202 1074744 1074744 622605 74829 231999 315777 124155 328 86370 37457 261819 127926 77540 56353 622382 453610 78105 90667 595090 555493 9435 30162 689181 637512 34681 16988 677274 559165 54659 63450 181807 159783 10540 11484 Food Expenses 69457765 69457765 Program Food/Supplies 557366 551506 5860 Feeding America Fees 17235 17235 Direct Mail Campaign 12024 12024 85869468 80749103 1954749 3165616 11339929 8465641 3079733 2430770 1076150 1195719 1500000 6898548 6264543 315515 371726 14705287 5393853 9021928 9311434 15491869 9319835 1670304 3778658 4923932 5123931 1117642 181786 500978 53999694 49380877 1076335 1510862 235725 120416 0 1223846 1312060 2855124 X 48193564 43230902 4494070 3294851 52687634 46525753 53999694 49380877 -7197907 1036026 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 56858346 68357146 112295738 75346806 75418640 388276676 56858346 68357146 112295738 75346806 75418640 388276676 388276676 36776 25516 105037 261186 562292 990807 164370 4706669 4871039 394138522 9670763 0.98510 0.98580 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 126459 57743 184202 85685266 85869468 1000000 250000 0 0 1000000 1000000 1000000 1000000 4000000 6000000 42066 50206 67924 184202 344398 250000 250000 250000 250000 1000000 1500000 21319 24551 36729 126459 209058 Form 990, Schedule C, Page 2, Part II-A, Lines 1a and 1b: The Food Bank has determined that a portion of the compensation and travel expenses paid to and for the filing organization's Vice President of Public Policy & Research and the Advocacy and Leadership Program Manager, as well as all expenses for the Public Policy department, were for lobbying purposes.

GSFB maintains multiple endowment funds, composed of two primary categories: Purchase Endowment: amounts donated to GSFB for the purpose of purchsaing resale products to help provide balanced nutrition to the hungry. The assets are permanently set aside with the income to be used for these purposes. These funds were established for the purpose of providing the agency with interest income to be used at the Board's discretion. The principal corpus is to remain intact. Part X, Line 2: GSFB is exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and comparable state law and, therefore, has made no provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Tax-exempt organizations could be required to record an obligation for income taxes as the result of a tax position they have historically taken on various tax exposure items including unrelated business income or tax status. Under guidance issued by the FASB, assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold, based upon the technical merits of the position. GSFB has evaluated the positions taken on its filed tax returns. GSFB has concluded no uncertain income tax positions exist at June 30, 2023.

Stock gifts are sold as soon as administratively possible after receipt. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4 During the period covered by this Form 990, the Organization voted to adopt new Bylaws. The revised bylaws made effective the following changes: 1. Compensation to board members will now be governed by the Organization's Commitee Member Compensation Policy; the previous bylaws stated that no Director shall receive directly or indirectly any compensation for their services as a Director, but such a prohibition has been removed. Board members are not compensated by default, but should board participation create personal hardship, may ask to receive compensation commensurate with their commitment of time and expertise. 2. Officers will now serve two-year terms; the previous bylaws allowed for one-year terms. 3. The board's finance commitee will now have a minimum of two members; the previous bylaws required a minimum of three members. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The Form 990 is prepared by an outside indepent accounting firm, then reviewed by the President, the VP of Finance and Administration, and the Audit Committee. It is then circulated to the full Board before filing with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c All Board members are required to complete a conflict of interest form annually and disclose any conflicts that exist. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 Good Shepherd Food Bank aims to match compensation in comparable job markets for all positions, including the Organization's President, appropriately rewarding performance and tenure with the Food Bank while maintaining equity across comparable positions. In times of limited or abundant resources, consistent with the Food Bank's mission, priority will be given to maintaining competitive and livable wages across the lowest pay grades. The compensation practice reflects both changes in the cost of living and accomplishments of team and individual goals, with greater emphasis on cost of living. We believe this approach, which depends less on supervisor discretion, is more fair and equitable than past practices. In an effort to prioritize staff in the lower pay grades, cost of living adjustments will be made based on a hybrid of percent of employee salary and a flat rate available to all employees. The budget for annual salary increases is drafted by Finance and Human Resources staff in March or April of each year for approval by the Board of Directors in May. With this in mind, a baseline for cost of living increases will be determined by the annual change in Consumer Price Index from February of the preceding year to February of the current year. To best estimate local costs, Finance and Human Resources staff will average CPI factors from the United States, Northeast Region, and New England. In addition to the annual COLA adjustment, all employees who have been in their current position for at least six months will be eligible for a Merit Adjustment of up to 1% of their base salary, contingent upon delivery of results consistent with expectations of their role. In some years, this plan will be significantly more expensive to the Food Bank than past practices. Should senior leadership and the Board of Directors determine that such increases are not financially viable, it is the intention of the working group that the core tenets of this plan be adhered to. Compensation and benefits paid to the President are subject to board review and approval. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The Organization's most recent audited financial statements and Form 990 are available on the website. The Organization will also provide organizational documents available electronically or by mail to any person or organization requesting them within one week of receiving the request. Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c: The audit process has not changed from the prior year.
