THE NYC EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, PART OF THE HUMAN RESOURCE ADMINISTRATION, HELP US LOCATE THE MOST UNDERFUNDED FOOD PANTRIES. AFTER A VISIT TO EACH OF THESE PANTRIES TO ENSURE THEY CAN STORE AND DISTRIBUTE FRESH PRODUCE, WE THEN WORK WITH THEM TO ORDER THE PRODUCE THEY NEED. WE ORDER MOSTLY FROM LOCAL AND REGIONAL FAMILY FARMS TO HELP SUPPORT OUR FARM FAMILIES AS WELL AS THE FAMILIES WHO WAIT ON PANTRY LINES. WE HAVE ALSO STARTED GIVING INCENTIVE GRANTS TO PANTRIES - EXTRA MONIES TO TRY A NEW PRODUCT THAT IS SEASONALLY AVAILABLE AND MAY BE MORE FAMILIAR TO FAMILIES FROM DIFFERENT CULTURES WAITING ON LINE FOR FOOD. 0 5043 TO GIVE FAMILIES AGENCY OVER THEIR FOOD, WE ALSO WORK WITH COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS (CBOS) IN EAST AND CENTRAL HARLEM TO DISTRIBUTE VOUCHERS FOR INDEPENDENT SUPERMARKETS IN THE AREA. THESE VOUCHERS ARE GIVEN TO MANY FAMILIES WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR SNAP (FOOD STAMPS). THIS WORK HAS RESULTED IN LARGER GRANTS, AND THEREFORE, WE HAVE EXTENDED OUR WORK TO BROOKLYN AND ARE PLANNING TO WORK IN QUEENS IN SPRING 2024. HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE THESE VOUCHERS. WE HAVE WORKED WITH BOTH HUNTER COLLEGE'S FOOD POLICY CENTER AND THE EAST HARLEM HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO RESEARCH THE EFFECTS OF GIVING PEOPLE THESE VOUCHERS AND TO DATE, WE HAVE PUBLISHED ONE PEER REVIEW ARTICLE, AND TWO REPORTS. RECEIPT DATA INDICATES THAT PEOPLE USING THE VOUCHERS BUY MOSTLY FRESH MEATS, FRESH VEGETABLES AND FRESH FRUITS, AND KITCHEN BASICS SUCH AS CORN OIL, FLOUR AND OTHER PANTRY STAPLES. OUR STUDIES SHOW THAT FOOD INSECURITY IS REDUCED BY HALF WITHIN TWO MONTHS, AND MOTHERS INDICATE THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO MISS A MEAL SO THEIR CHILDREN CAN EAT, AND BECAUSE THEY HAVE MONEY FOR FOOD, THEY CAN PAY THEIR RENT. WE PLAN TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH ACADEMIC AND HEALTH DEPARTMENT GROUPS TO RESEARCH THE EFFECTS OF THESE VOUCHERS. 31597 31597 36640 CATHY NONAS TREASURER & SECRETARY 20.00 0 0 0 SUSANNAH KOTEEN PRESIDENT 1.00 0 0 0 MICHAEL HURWITZ VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 0 0 0 ROSEMONDE PIERRE LOUIS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0 0 0 GREGORY SILVERMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0 0 0 SASHA NONAS-BARNES BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NY THE ORGANIZATION 130 LENOX AVENUE NEW YORK NY 100262503 9176961859 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 74640 38936 42067 155643 74640 38936 42067 155643 3774 151869 155643 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED FORM 990-EZ, PART I, LINE 10 - GRANTS AND SIMILAR AMOUNTS PAID ACTIVITY CLASSIFICATION: DONATIONS.
