Form 990, Part I, Item C DBA: Cultivate Food Rescue Form 990, Part I, Line 6: Total number of volunteers: Cultivate Culinary School and Catering Inc utilizes a software called Volunteer Local to schedule volunteers. When volunteers arrive, they check in using the software. Volunteer sessions are either two or three hours based on the day of the week. We calculate the hours based on the day of service and the length of the volunteer session. We also have kitchen volunteers. Their hours vary so we use an average time frame for those volunteers. Form 990, Part III, line 2 The Cultivate Cares Food Network was officially launched. Since the start of food rescue in July of 2017, we supported pantries, soup kitchens and other social service agencies with food that we recovered that didn't fit well into our frozen meal backpack program. During COVID, this became our third program. We now have a network of 130-140 food recipient partners that we support with rescued food. Our focus is to provide valuable, needed staple perishable food items like milk, cheese, fresh fruits and vegetables and proteins to reduce the purchase cost of food for the agencies that we support and to reduce food waste. Our goal is to build a not-for-profit food hub with food donors and suppliers who donate or sell at a discount food and food recipient agencies who distribute this valuable food to vulnerable people in our community. Our backpack program and the Cultivate Cares Food Network have the ability to repurpose millions of pounds of food with the goal of reducing food insecurity, reducing food waste and improving the educational outcomes of vulnerable children in our community.
