Educated the public regarding food justice via public speaking, events, and the organization's website. Published original statistical data, collected by the organization, on the lack of access to healthy foods in impacted areas; data can then be used by local policymakers and community members to enact policy changes and to support community organizations addressing these concerns. All of our published materials are also offered in Spanish as well as English. Organized an annual school supply drive for the children of farm workers in the San Francisco Bay Area. Items distributed include, but are not limited to, backpacks, notebooks, pencils, crayons, and pens. Worked on corporate transparency, such as in the chocolate industry. Provided a regularly updated list (available online and through a free mobile app) that indexes chocolate companies that the organization does and does not recommend based on self-reported country of origin supplies of chocolate/cacao. The list is available in English, Spanish, and German. 0 50673 50673 Lauren Ornelas President, Board Member 40 24000 0 0 Rick Kelley Secretary/Treasurer, Board Member 3 0 0 0 Brooke Taylor Adkins Board Member 7 0 0 0 Sharon Daraphonhdeth Board Member 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA Lauren Ornelas 1300 Valley House Dr STE 100-20 Rohnert Park CA 94928 5308484021 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 13132 26923 42210 77106 84004 243375 372 1407 984 2906 9900 15569 13504 28330 43194 80012 93904 258944 1443 1346 1160 0 570 4519 0 13000 23000 46986 38040 121026 1443 14346 24160 46986 38610 125545 133399 35 8 5 7 11 66 35 8 5 7 11 66 13539 28338 43199 80019 93915 259010 0.51503 0.52 0.00025 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Other program expenses;11861|Other general and admin expenses;3324|Other fundraising expenses;932^Total;16117^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Inventories held for sale Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Description;EOY Amount^Payroll taxes payable;1358|Sales taxes payable;69^Total;1427^
