      <Description>The Farm to Family program plays a vital role in delivering fresh fruits and vegetables to people in need throughout California. Working with growers, packers and food banks in every part of the state, CAFB provides surplus and "cull" (e.g., misshapen or cosmetically blemished) fresh fruits and vegetables to its 42 member food banks and other select partners. The program has been an overwhelming success, delivering over 127 million pounds in 2012, while allowing low-income Californians to include healthful fresh foods in their diet.</Description>

        <Description>Working with the California Department of Public Health and through a statewide network of local food banks and non-profit organizations, CAFB delivers statewide programs with two major goals: 1) to reduce hunger and food insecurity in California by helping eligible people to enroll in CalFresh (formerly known as the Food Stamp Program), and 2) to simultaneously improve the nutritional status and reduce the incidence of preventable, diet-related disease for people living in low-income communities by delivering nutrition education.</Description>

        <Identifier>Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>Part X, Line 2:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>Membership deposits represent funds received from member food banks for working capital. The Association recognizes the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would sustain the position in an examination. For tax positions meeting a more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the benefit expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. For tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized. As of December 31, 2012, the Association has had no uncertain tax positions. The Association is relying on its tax-exempt status and its adherence to all applicable laws and regulations to preserve that status. The Association recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. Income tax returns for years prior to 2008 are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities.</Explanation>
