DescHUNGER FREE AMERICA (formerly known as the New York City Coalition Against Hunger) is a national nonprofit group building a nonpartisan, grass-roots membership movement to enact the policies and programs needed to end domestic hunger and ensure that all Americans have sufficient access to nutritious food.Hunger Free America's long term goal is not just to ameliorate the problem, but to build the people's movement necessary to enact the economic and public policies needed to end hunger entirely. Given that hunger drains our economy and tears at our moral and civic fabric, we know that eliminating it will boost the nation both economically and spiritually. Towards that end, we've adopted the motto: "Ending hunger lifts us all."Programs: Advocacy, Research, and Policy: Hunger Free America's advocacy team is a voice for millions who struggle against U.S. hunger. One of the most effective and courageous advocacy groups in the nation, Hunger Free America works directly with elected officials on the city, state, and federal level to advance policies to end hunger and promote economic justice. Hunger Free America also conducts ground-breaking research and publishes cutting-edge reports that propose bold - yet concrete and realistic - solutions to hunger and poverty. AmeriCorps VISTA: Hunger Free America's AmeriCorps VISTA teams, operating across 27 states with 127 national service participants, enable participants to serve the country while fighting hunger. All of Hunger Free America's projects are united by the basic goals of reducing hunger, improving nutrition and empowering families to obtain more economic opportunities. Benefits Access: Hunger Free America's team works to connect low-income New Yorkers with benefits to access food across all five boroughs. Hunger Free America's staff screens individuals for federal nutrition assistance programs, and helps them through the application and recertification process. In 2017, Hunger Free America helped over 3,300 families access SNAP. Hunger Free America's VISTA program also increases access to nutrition benefits nationwide.Child Nutrition Program: Hunger Free America's child nutrition program works to ensure that every child in New York City has access to sufficient, nutritious food. By increasing participation in free summer meals and school breakfasts, Hunger Free America connects kids with the food they need to grow and thrive.Farm Fresh Program Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Initiative: Hunger Free America's pioneering community supported agriculture program provides subsidized shares of fresh, regional produce, in season, to low-income families. Food Action Board ( FAB): Our FAB program empowers low-income community members to fight for their own futures and build the anti-hunger movement by helping them further develop their leadership, advocacy, and community organizing skills. FAB Members take on key positions and leadership roles in efforts at the city, state, and federal levels aimed at promoting food security and economic opportunity. In the past year, Hunger Free America has worked with about 60 community members in 5 different under-resourced neighborhoods throughout New York City.Strategic Volunteer Program: Hunger Free America's "Ending Hunger Through Citizen Service Initiative" connects people and groups with volunteer opportunities that can make the greatest impact in the fight against hunger. Hunger Free America's newly launched web site, hungervolunteer.org, offers hunger organizations and the public innovative strategies and tools for engaging volunteers in effective activities to build the capacity of nonprofit groups, increase participation in government nutrition assistance programs, and advocate for improved economic and governmental policies. USDA National Hunger Clearinghouse: Hunger Free America's USDA National Hunger Hotline is a resource for individuals and families seeking information on how to obtain emergency food. The Hotline staff connects callers with emergency food providers in their community, government assistance programs, as well as various social services such as SNAP, WIC, and Summer Meals. In 2017, Hunger Free America received 22,090 calls from all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico.Desc

Form And Line ReferencePart X : FIN48 FootnoteFormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationHunger Free America has adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740 "Income Taxes." ASC 740 requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on Hunger Free America's financial statements, as management believes that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements. America has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to review other matters that may be considered tax positions.Hunger Free America's Forms 990, Return of Organization Exempt for Income Tax, for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.ExplanationTxt
