Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Carol’s Kitchen is planning to accomplish the following goals:
 Increase our meal distribution by 10% over 2021.
 Create and retain a sustainable volunteer workforce.
 Track and maintain financial stability.
 Organize the needs for future expansion into new service areas.
 Increase community awareness.
 Increase monetary donations via many varied activities.
 Continue to obtain grants to help fund Carol’s Kitchen mission.

Carol’s Kitchen has approved their 2021 Strategic Plan. (See attached) We
plan to use this as our operational roadmap. We will have quarterly reviews
of our progress on our key performance indicators to assist us on staying on
track. Carol’s Kitchen is committed to a growing and successful year.

Carol’s Kitchen is an organization which is ‘built to last’ and continues its
mission to feed the hungry in the San Gorgonio Pass and surrounding communities because
hunger never goes away. This is demonstrated by 25 years of continuous service and over 1,000,000 FREE hot nutritious meals served.
Carol’s Kitchen has a strong Board of Directors with officers who are
dedicated to accomplishing Carol’s Kitchen mission of ‘feeding the hungry’.

Carol's Kitchen also has a solid team of 130 kitchen and behind-the-scenes volunteers, kitchen
managers, and an Executive Director with a support team dedicated to
ensure our success. In addition we are funded by many donors, grants,
and corporate sponsors who support us financially. We also receive in-kind
support from local retail establishments, growers, and other vendors to
assist us in feeding the hungry

In 2022 Carol’s Kitchen’s major accomplishments include the following:

 Over the past 12 months, we have increased the number of meals served
from 3,000 per month to almost 5,000 per month.
 We have moved into a new warehouse facility and increased our warehouse space from
800 sq. ft. to 2,000 sq. ft., in order to accommodate our growing need to provide to the hungry.
 We added needed administrative support and an additional driver to accommodate our growth.


What is next?
 Continue to provide almost 5,000 free meals a month to anyone who is hungry.
 Continue to provide extra free groceries to all our guests.
 Continue to hand out slightly used clothing for free.
 Continue to keep a strong Board of Directors.
 Continue to reach out to neighboring communities where the need for
our services keeps rising. Grow our ability to serve the hungry by
adding at least one new kitchen in the surrounding areas.
 Increase our revenue generating activities through fundraisers and semi-annual appeal letters.
- Encourage local businesses to become our partners in our mission.
 Expand our search for Grants to help us fulfill our mission of Feeding The Hungry.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
