This food was delivered free of charge to 500 community food programs across New York City. Since our founding, we have collected over 600 million pounds of good, nutritious food for New Yorkers in need. At City Harvest, we recognize our responsibility to the people we serve and ensure the highest food safety standards in every facet of our food rescue operations. We take careful steps to ensure that each pound of food is rescued and delivered safely. 1. Food Rescue Facility: City Harvest's 45,500 square foot Food Rescue Facility in Long Island City, Queens, allows us to move some 160,000 pounds of food a day to hungry New Yorkers across the five boroughs. The Facility has a large cooler and freezer to safely hold perishable food on a short-term basis, and a large dry storage area to sort non-perishable goods, allowing us to rescue and deliver large amounts and a wide variety of food. Each morning, City Harvest's fleet of trucks are loaded with food here and begin their day picking up and delivering food for hundreds of community programs. The Food Rescue Facility also accepts large donations of food directly from farms and corporations, which are repacked by volunteers into family-sized portions that we deliver to soup kitchens and food pantries.

FIN 48 Part X, Line 2 City Harvest follows the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48") Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, now incorporated in accounting standards codification ("ASC") 740. ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This section provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. City Harvest is exempt from federal income taxation by virtue of being an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Nevertheless, City Harvest may be subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the Code. Management determined that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements.
