Criteria are prepared by the executive committee based upon yearly goals established by the executive director. The executive director also prepares a self evaluation in the context of the previously established goals. Annual raises have been given effective on the anniversary date of hiring. In consultation with the human resource committee, revised performance evaluation criteria will be approved by the board this month and future reviews will use these criteria. In 2018, a new performance management program was put in place that is considered for all staff compensation increases.”

“Per bylaws, requests for documents will be produced within 3 business days after notification to the board president of the request & reason why the document is being requested.”

“The organization expanded operations due to the rising number of people who are food insecure. Using a donated refrigerated sprinter van, which has allowed rescue of more food and increases to staff, a new program was launched for delivering freshly prepared meals to those in need.”

“Due to the covid-19 pandemic, second helpings atlanta had to shift its operations to ensure the health and safety of all staff and volunteers. Almost 40% of our volunteers are 60 and over, and we decided to hire part-time drivers to ensure we could maintain our operations and continue our mission. This resulted in unexpected expenses, but fortunately, we were able to adjust our budget in other places. We received a ppp loan from the sba, and our bank has currently not opened forgiveness applications. They have indicated that they will begin to do that in the spring of 2021 and because we used all of the funds for payroll, hired additional temporary staff, and did not reduce any hours, we expect the loan to be forgiven. We have expanded our operations due to the rising number of people who are food insecure. We received a donated refrigerated sprinter van which has allowed us to rescue more food and increase our staff and we launched a new program where we are now delivering freshly prepared meals. 2020 was a record year for us, and between the food we rescued and the prepared meal program, we distributed two million meals in metro atlanta.”
