SHFB Budgeting
A Second Harvest Food Bank value is to create community in the region that they serve by working together to meet a basic need in that community: food. Although the Second Harvest Food Bank is a private organization, it is a nonprofit organization, too. Since it is a nonprofit, the SHFB relies on donated food and funds from the community, state and federal tax deductibles for being a nonprofit, as well as funds for being a member of a larger food relief group Feeding America. Also, the funds that are given to the SHFB are spent on food for weekly distribution to other nonprofit groups in the community as well as at food distribution cites. Based on this, the hallmarks that are expressed in its management of its budget are #4 and #6 because they commit themselves to community service, while creating community with whom they work and serve.
