Primary Exempt PurposeTO INCREASE CHOICE AND ACCESS TO FRESH FOOD FOR PEOPLE IN NYC WHO FACE FOOD INSECURITY, AND BY DOING SO ALSO SUPPORT FAMILY FARMS.MEALS FOR GOOD, INC OPERATES WITH A DUAL MISSION: TO SUPPORT UNDERFUNDED FOOD PANTRIES WITH GRANTS FOR FRESH PRODUCE, AND TO PROVIDE FAMILIES WITH ACCESS, THROUGH DONATION AND DIRECT PURCHASE, TO MISSING GROCERIES THAT ARE SO VITAL TO THEIR WELL-BEING.PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt

Description Program Srvc AccomDescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxtProgram Service ExpensesProgramServiceExpensesAmtGrants And AllocationsGrantsAndAllocationsAmt
THE NYC EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, PART OF THE HUMAN RESOURCE ADMINISTRATION, HELP US LOCATE THE MOST UNDERFUNDED FOOD PANTIRES. 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.$5,980
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. 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.$75,237$73,710
