Our primary program is a frozen meal backpack program primarily for students in K-2nd grade. Our backpack program fills the 68 hour gap from Friday at lunch to Monday at breakfast. We currently serve 600 students who are in South Bend, Elkhart, Wa-Nee, Plymouth Community Schools and Success Academy. Over the past year, our program grew from 400 backpacks or 2,400 meals per week to 600 backpacks or 3,600 meals per week. Our goal by January of 2021 is to reach 1,000 backpacks or 6,000 meals per week. During the COVID19 crisis we were able to continue to serve all 600 of our students and serve thousands of additional students and their families. For an 8 week period in April and May we were producing 16,000 meals per week. Due to the crisis, we continue to serve 5,400 meals per week with our school partners, the Boys & Girls Club, the VA, and other agencies. 0 1 1170275 0 1229 Our food rescue operation was initially modeled after 2nd Helpings in Indianapolis. Cultivate serves as a middleman between large food service businesses which prepare food that is not served and people who are food insecure in our community. Our twist on the 2nd Helpings model is that we distribute the already prepared food in two ways: individual frozen meals (like a frozen Meals on Wheels) and in bulk to local social service agencies who feed the food insecure. We are able to provide as one client calls it, real food, in a convenient easy to store and prepare package that is more nutritious then canned and boxed items. We not only feed hungry people but help protect our environment from unnecessary food waste which is the largest single component of our Nation's landfills. 15113 0 0 Cultivate is filling the 68-hour, weekend gap that a child may go without food. The program provides 6 healthy meals to children in need every Friday. Cultivate is currently providing 400 backpacks to hungry children in 3 different counties in Indiana (St. Joseph, Elkhart and Marshall). 1185388 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 18 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 IN X Jim Conklin 8777252016 1403 Prairie Avenue South Bend IN 46613 X Jim Conklin President 30.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Rob Jagger Vice-President until December 2019 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Tom Edgerton Vice-President 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Judy Hodgson Treasurer until July 2019 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Scott Hurlbert Treasurer until June 2020 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Gene Reese Secretary until September 2019 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lin Burns Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Guy Fisher Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Hunter Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Julie Urbany Board Member until March 2020 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Anna Wasierski Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Larry Westfall Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Hugh Johnson Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica Brookshire Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Danielle LaFleur Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joan McClendon Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rachel Rawls Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ancon Construction Co Inc 2146 Elkhart Road Goshen IN 46526 Building Renovation 456480 1 351891 1981394 1115559 2333285 Culinary Training 900099 1229 1229 1229 39 39 41715 27351 14364 14364 3100 3100 3100 2352017 1229 0 17503 286680 183254 45026 58400 20834 13318 3272 4244 7539 7539 13976 13976 55129 55129 39323 12450 26873 75192 75192 36450 36450 14203 12695 1508 12333 11023 1310 20033 17963 2070 Food Costs 796139 796139 Backpack Program 15113 15113 Volunteer Expenses 5519 5519 8893 6272 1541 1080 1407356 1185388 89139 132829 43963 149527 52387 126015 120657 52250 0 499275 960680 21552 227032 939128 7289 5840 451328 1772035 0 79425 125913 421066 6235 7703 132148 508194 X 319180 1137841 126000 319180 1263841 451328 1772035 944661 0 X 1 X 0 0 0 X 175155 321772 924687 2333285 3754899 175155 321772 924687 2333285 3754899 894441 2860458 500 660 39 1199 6943 0 14364 21307 3100 3100 3780505 310606 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10, Explanation of Other Income: Other Income - 2019 Amount: $ 3,100.
