Accordingly, no provision for income tax is required. The Organization recognizes and measures tax positions based on their technical merit and assesses the likelihood that the positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period.

There are currently twelve participating schools, with more anticipated to join the program.

The specific food items cost $10.59 per child/per week. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Organization incurred approximately $438,000 and $137,000, respectively, in expenses related to food purchases in connection with this program.

These services include primary care for families, lab services, HIV Rapid Testing, physical examinations for work and school, health benefits counseling, dental services, behavioral care services and more. In 2021, the organization further expanded access to affordable medical and behavioral care through a new partnership with Florida Atlantic University's Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing Community Based Clinics (serving residents in West Palm Beach).
