These volunteers donated nearly 90,000 hours of baking time, resulting in almost 36,000 loaves of bread and 66,000 Grab 'N Go Energy Cookies. The organizational support needed to keep this program growing and thriving includes website development, ongoing outreach to both existing and potential bakers and food banks, leadership development for the management of our 66 neighborhood hubs and 44 food bank partners, and supply management - securing, organizing, and delivering the flour and packaging supplies used by our volunteer bakers once a month. In 2023, we launched a second flavor, Chocolate Cherry, of our Grab 'N Go Energy Cookie. This nutritious "cookie" satisfies the growing need at our partner food banks for portable no-cook items for their clients. The cookie has proven to be a bonus to their outreach to unhoused clients and school backpack programs. For our organization, it has also been a boost to recruiting new bakers who might otherwise be disinterested due to a lack of knowledge and time for the bread-baking process. We anticipate continued growth of the Energy Cookie through the development of different formulas/flavors that will feed, nourish and delight our food bank partners. In 2023, we expanded our network by 9 new community hubs and associated food bank partners. In addition in 2023 we hired our first full time team member, giving the organization more day to day stability. We relocated our flour operations from a personal residence to a light industrial warehouse also located in Kirkland, WA. The addition of a formal space from which we can conduct our business fosters increased professionalism and productivity. 214 0 0 Community Kitchens Program: This program creates additional volunteer baking opportunities by developing dedicated baking spaces, aka kitchens. Having these additional spaces serves multiple objectives. One objective is to provide more shared learning opportunities. Up to six volunteers can participate, engage, and bake communally in the kitchens. Volunteers are mentored on bread techniques and socialize with other participants. Another objective is larger donations to the food bank. The combined efforts from a larger dedicated kitchen space yield significantly larger donations for the food bank. And finally, reduced barriers to participation. Hosting baking sessions in a Community Kitchen allows us to remove participation costs for the volunteer. At the Community Kitchen, all ingredients are provided, and the volunteer's contribution is their service time. 0 0 0 178828 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 OR X Katherine Kehrli 4252607979 10618 132nd Avenue NE Kirkland WA 98033 X Katherine Kehrli Director, Chair 40 0 X X 0 0 0 Cynthia Nims Director, Vice Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Amy Slate Director, Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Howard Bowles Treasurer 1 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 696995 633015 696995 Product advertising revenue 900099 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 11 10628 0 0 10628 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 682813 0 699576 0 -16763 0 -16763 0 0 -16763 0 173630 107718 65912 65912 0 0 0 756783 65923 0 -6135 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 43498 38523 4975 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4172 0 4172 0 2400 2400 0 0 0 0 0 0 14182 0 14182 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4275 4275 0 0 2048 2048 0 0 21145 19682 1463 0 73278 73278 0 0 0 0 0 20342 18954 1388 0 1036 1036 0 0 0 0 0 0 1165 1095 70 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 7442 4711 2731 0 505 0 505 0 Delivery 6696 6696 0 0 State Tax & Licenses 2354 0 2354 0 Equipment 573 573 0 0 Processing Fees 5828 5557 271 0 0 0 0 0 210940 178828 32112 0 34164 95681 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9687 13068 0 0 91068 13418 12667 77650 67212 483418 0 0 0 0 0 0 689 1927 124419 671744 16845 18327 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16845 18327 X 0 0 0 0 107574 653417 107574 653417 124419 671744 545843 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 0 7117 107153 240786 696995 1052051 0 15320 151212 246312 173641 586485 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22437 258365 487098 870636 1638536 0 2058 94081 188934 647364 932437 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2058 94081 188934 647364 932437 706099 0 0 0 0 10628 10628 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10628 10628 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22437 258365 487098 881264 1649164 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 56883 2731 54152 0 34185 10687 23498 0 0 0 0 77650 X 3 632364 avg mkt val date of gift X 8 651 Vendor price on date of transaction 0 0 1 0 Schedule M, Part I, Line 9 Line 9 Part I, Column (b) equals the number of contributions received.

Volunteers sign up to be a part of our program; we know how many individual volunteers are acquired over any stated period of time. If volunteers do not engage within 6 months, they are automatically moved to inactive status. Countless volunteer hours are needed to pull off our bread-baking mission. Specific activities and efforts we track include - loaves and energy cookies donated, administrative and financial support, operational assistance, supply logistics, and partnership maintenance. For 2023 these are our volunteer values: Total Volunteers - 764; Total Hours Donated - 90,000 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b No individual committees had or have the authority to make decisions without the approval of the main governing body. There are two committees that support decision making of the organization: our advisory committee, and our finance committee.

Once approved by all, the 990 was then signed and submitted. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Our conflict of interest policy is read, reviewed and renewed by the board of directors as a whole at the beginning of each year. All board members are made aware of the policy and are encouraged to edit and resubmit statements throughout the year as needed. A conflict of interest must be promptly and fully disclosed upon becoming a member or officer, annually or whenever an actual or potential conflict arises, The board evaluates the disclosures to determine if they involve actual conflicts of interest and will follow procedures in the conflict of interest policy if a conflict exists. The person with the conflict of interest does not participate in and is not present for a vote regarding the transaction or arrangement involved. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 During the 2023 fiscal year, we had no paid officers, directors, or employees paid over $100,000. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 All of our governing document, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements were made available upon request. We did not have any requests for this information in 2023.
