After 40 years, the mission of the Organization had evolved from feeding people to helping one another thrive; the new name better reflects how the Organization gathers neighbors around food to share their lives and build trusting relationships. Rather than just distributing food, Kinship Community Food Center aims to build relationships around food that have the power to transform people's lives as individuals and as a community. The Organization offers several programs which address food scarcity and help the whole person thrive. They are briefly described below: Shop | Fresh Food Market Shop is a fresh food market that integrates health education, cooking demonstrations, a food bar, and connections to community resources. In 2023, 346,000 pounds of food were given to more than 15,000 community members, which was a 40% increase over the prior year in new households served. The Organization served breakfasts & dinners from our community kitchen and held food preparation demos provided by community chefs. Nearly 90% of our community members say they are now cooking with more produce at home because of shopping at our fresh food market. Grow | Urban Farm To feed and educate the community, the Organization operated a 27,000 square foot urban hoop house vegetable farm and gardens that grew over 15,000 pounds of fresh, local, and organic produce in 2023. The Organization partnered with Maglio Company to operate the farm. Feast | Collaborative Meals Feast is a collaborative meal that brings a diverse group around a common table to explore food traditions and whole food culinary skills. 96% of our community members say they have made new friendships at Kinship. Eight Feast meals and three Farm to Fork meals occurred in 2023 and 350 community members participated. 264200 125 Form | Education and Engagement Form is a service-based training for volunteers and neighborhood residents in spiritual formation, social justice, and civic action. 8,000 community members gave over 27,000 hours of volunteer services in 2023, a 35% increase over the prior year. Over 1,000 people participated in our Faces of Hunger trainings. Mission Internship | A Year of Service In 2023, our eighth year of the Mission Internship program, six women and two men gave a year of their life in service to the community while living together in two neighborhood homes near the food center. More than just learning to coordinate the operational functions of our food center and farm, the mission interns established real relationships to support shoppers, volunteers, and one another. They also participated in weekly formation sessions and gathered for prayer at the start of each morning. 317339 0 0 Stride | Crisis Assistance and Mentoring Stride is a mentoring program that accompanies people in crisis to overcome barriers to health and economic stability. Staff and volunteer mentors assess and walk with shoppers to navigate the myriad barriers that often accompany food insecurity. The Organization achieved an 84% crisis assistance referral rate through our strong network of partners; prevented eviction and/or homelessness for 94 families through direct assistance and referrals; and stabilized 365 families through employment assistance, transportation assistance, prevention of utility disconnections and/or obtaining needed household goods. 98% of our community members say they know they can get support and help at Kinship. Workforce | Employment Readiness and Training Workforce is a paid work experience that integrates social connection and human development to create a healing path toward steady employment and economic mobility. The Organization officially launched its workforce program in 2023 and its holistic care model integrates training in culinary arts, urban agriculture, and grocery operations with case management and human development programming. 0 0 0 1859623 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 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 10 0 1 30 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 X 17 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 WI X X X Lindy Meer 4143011478 2610 N Martin Luther King Jr Drive Milwaukee WI 53212 Vincent Noth Executive Director 40 0 X 127750 0 3937 Ellen Bartel President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Paul Burgoyne Vice President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Tracy Meeks Treasurer 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Jamie Hegarty Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 David Bourne Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 James Caragher Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jacquelin Coby-Beaver Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Lori Craig Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Nick Fallucca Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Chad Griesel Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Berent Kowarik Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Melinda Krueger Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Daniel La Nuez Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Eugene Nelson Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Marci Pelzer Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Steven Robinson Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Sylvia Wilson Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 127750 0 3937 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2599220 658935 2599220 Catering 722320 830 830 0 0 Speaking & Training 624210 125 125 0 0 0 0 0 0 955 177613 0 0 177613 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 32250 0 37217 0 -4967 0 -4967 0 0 -4967 25049 0 25049 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 379 1645 -1266 -1266 0 0 4554 4554 0 0 4554 2776109 4243 0 172646 131687 79012 13169 39506 819430 595627 94636 129167 142152 79417 12176 50559 69914 50076 7993 11845 750 750 3875 3875 77370 67110 3780 6480 50916 20883 142 29891 2250 1117 683 450 43626 17305 10800 15521 59372 51146 3556 4670 11060 11057 3 2354 340 75 1939 21233 21233 22885 19313 2832 740 Food Assistance 764763 764763 0 0 Program Expenses 69945 69945 0 0 Merchant Service Fees 22777 680 20124 1973 Postage 11250 670 171 10409 36601 9929 2268 24404 2364210 1859623 177030 327557 191940 124377 825748 1032836 2000 38562 6894 5356 39972 41258 47037 51580 265303 93093 193443 172210 4233504 4840146 5540538 6306325 101307 127364 0 0 101307 127364 X 4196414 5084679 1242817 1094282 5439231 6178961 5540538 6306325 411899 327831 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 0 0 X 1098679 3255972 2492851 2788870 2599220 12235592 1098679 3255972 2492851 2788870 2599220 12235592 1160451 11075141 25034 175613 210754 88611 176646 676658 347 2429 -4642 -1266 -3132 12909118 1350 0.85793 0.83522 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Inventory sales & miscellaneous revenue RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 25000 25000 0 119014 17072 101942 0 0 0 0 0 103275 70016 33259 0 18014 6005 12009 172210 0 0 X 3424070 327831 281268 0 0 609099 2814971 0 -38862 -38862 2776109 2684340 281268 0 0 0 281268 2403072 0 -38862 -38862 2364210 Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Organization is a not-for-profit corporation as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code.
