This year, City Harvest collected 50 million pounds of excess food from all segments of the food industry, including grocers, restaurants, corporate cafeterias, bakeries, manufacturers, and farms. This food is then delivered free of charge to more than 500 community food programs throughout New York City by a fleet of trucks and bikes. City Harvest helps feed nearly 1.4 million New Yorkers that face hunger each year. City Harvest is the world's first food rescue organization, and rescued more than 500 million pounds of food throughout the five boroughs of New York City since its inception in 1982. As a natural extension of its anti-hunger work, City Harvest developed Healthy Neighborhoods programs to respond to the need for emergency food, improve access to fruits and vegetables for residents in low income communities and false false 104341899 0 0 Emergency Food Rescue: Using a fleet of 19 trucks and three cargo bikes, City Harvest rescues and delivers excess food seven days a week. In fiscal year 2015, City Harvest collected 50 million pounds of food, greater than the total amount of food collected in its first 14 years combined. More than 50% of this total was comprised of fresh fruits and vegetables. 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: In December 2011, City Harvest opened a new 45,400 square foot Food Rescue Facility in Long Island City, Queens, helping us to bring more food to hungry New Yorkers. With this facility, City Harvest has the ability to rescue and deliver large amounts, and a great variety, of food. The Facility was outfitted with 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. 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. Before the facility opened, City Harvest was able to move about 83,000 pounds per day with the help of a small 3,000 square foot rental space; now, we are able to move more than 150,000 pounds daily. In fiscal year 2015, City Harvest rescued 50 million pounds of food, 75% of which was nutrient dense and more than 50% produce. 2. Where City Harvest rescues the food: While City Harvest started by collecting food from restaurants, we expanded to collect excess food from all segments of the food industry, including restaurants, grocers, bakeries, Greenmarkets, corporate cafeterias, manufacturers, and farms. City Harvest has nearly 2,000 food donors. City Harvest also relies on New Yorkers across the city to help feed their hungry neighbors by organizing food drives in their schools, apartment buildings, businesses and places of worship. 3. Where the food goes: City Harvest regularly delivers food to more than 500 soup kitchens, food pantries and other community food programs across New York City, helping feed the nearly two million people that face hunger each year in our community. These soup kitchens, food pantries, homeless shelters, senior centers, children's daycare centers, and other agencies together help feed hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers each week. 4. Kosher Initiative: City Harvest's Kosher Initiative strives to improve the quality of life among low-income kosher observant seniors, immigrants, children, and families facing hunger by providing increased access to a wider variety of kosher food. Since 2002, City Harvest has rescued and delivered more than 25 million pounds of emergency food to a network of kosher agencies across the five boroughs. Today, our network includes some 30 kosher agencies, helping to feed more than one million visitors annually. 4361932 100994 0 Healthy Neighborhoods: Nearly 1.4 million New Yorkers are facing hunger and for many people that City Harvest serves, healthy food is unavailable and unaffordable. In turn, diseases related to poor nutrition - including diabetes and heart disease - tend to be concentrated where demand for emergency food is greatest. As a natural extension of the anti-hunger work we began more than 30 years ago, City Harvest developed Healthy Neighborhoods programs to respond to the need for emergency food, improve access to fruits and vegetables for residents in low-income communities and provide nutrition education that will inspire healthy, budget-conscious meal choices. Through our Healthy Neighborhoods programs, City Harvest partners with residents, community organizations, afterschool programs, and local businesses. Together we work to achieve a long-term impact in the fight against hunger by engaging residents in healthy choices and enhancing the local food landscape. Building off our nutrition education classes which began in 2000, and our Mobile Markets which began in 2004, City Harvest has since expanded Healthy Neighborhoods programs to high-need communities across the five boroughs. Healthy Neighborhoods programs target five low-income neighborhoods of New York City, one in each borough: - Bedford Stuyvesant in Brooklyn - South Bronx - Washington Heights/Inwood in Manhattan - Northwest Queens - North Shore of Staten Island Healthy Neighborhoods programs are working to put good nutritious food on the table for New Yorkers in need, and help inspire long-term change in the fight against hunger by: 1. Relieving Food Insecurity: City Harvest works to provide hungry New Yorkers with nutritious, free food to feed themselves and their families. a. Emergency Food: City Harvest delivered 50 million pounds of food citywide and over 13.2 million pounds of food to emergency food programs located in Healthy Neighborhoods. More than 50% of this food was produce, and soup kitchens and food pantries are then able to offer participants a variety of healthy food. b. Mobile Markets: Through free, farmers market-style distributions of produce in low-income communities across the five boroughs, City Harvest distributes around 150,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables each month. On-site cooking demonstrations offer recommendations on how to cook with produce, and health and wellness programming helps participants improve their health. This year, we delivered 2.8 million pounds of fruits and vegetables through Mobile Markets. c. ACE: Through the Agency Capacity Expansion (ACE) program, City Harvest offers grants to selected emergency food programs for one-time projects to upgrade services and strengthen their ability to serve the community. In addition, City Harvest University courses on subjects such as fundraising and planning help improve agencies' core skill sets so they can serve as a stable resource for their clients. 2. Providing Nutrition Education and Inspiring Healthy Choices: City Harvest offers free nutrition courses and activities focused on buying, preparing and eating healthy foods. a. Nutrition Education Courses: City Harvest provides free nutrition education classes for adults, families, teenagers, and senior citizens at participating community organizations, which instill the skills to prepare healthy meals. b. Cooking Demonstrations: The staff and volunteers of City Harvest demonstrate healthy cooking recipes and techniques for residents at senior centers, supermarkets, corner stores, health clinics, and other community gathering places. c. Shopping Workshops: Through Cooking Matters at the Store workshops, City Harvest teaches store customers practical tools on how to stretch food dollars and find affordable, healthy foods right in their neighborhood supermarket. d. City Harvest Fruit Bowl: City Harvest introduces pre-school and afterschool students to a regular supply of fresh produce and low-fat dairy and combines a unique nutrition education program designed to teach life-long healthy eating habits to children and caregivers. 3. Increasing Access to Affordable, Healthy Food: City Harvest works with residents, community organizations, afterschool programs, and local businesses to raise awareness of healthy food, ensure that residents can find affordable, nutritious food in their neighborhoods. a. Healthy Supermarkets and Corner Stores: City Harvest works with retailers to reach neighborhood residents where they shop for food. In addition to offering assistance to these food retailers to increase the quantity, quality and variety of available produce, City Harvest hosts healthy cooking demonstrations and budget shopping workshops to encourage nutritious and affordable choices right on site. b. Community Networks: To build public support for healthy food availability and consumption, and sustain change over time, City Harvest convenes Community Action Networks (CANS) in each of the Healthy Neighborhoods. These networks engage passionate and dedicated residents and businesses who are committed to improving access to healthy food choices. 4. Increase Community Engagement: City Harvest trains community residents to engage in hunger relief efforts in their own neighborhoods. City Harvest helps provide residents and local businesses with the tools needed to help fight against hunger and diet-related diseases in their communities we help. Community residents volunteer to lead nutrition education courses, help run City Harvest Mobile Markets, work with corner store owners, and much more. 108703831 true true false false false false false

The organization anticipates using the endowment's interest and dividends to support its charitable programs, while leaving the principal and gains to grow to continue to fund the organization as it grows. 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. The tax years ending June 30, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. Management determined that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements.
