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. 5980 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. 73710 75237 81217 CATHY NONAS Treasurer 20.00 0 MICHAEL HURWITZ Vice President 1.00 0 GREGORY SILVERMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0 SASHA ALEXANDER NONAS-BARNES BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0 ROSEMONDE PIERRE-LOUIS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0 SUSANNAH KOTEEN President 1.00 0 X false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false NY MEALS FOR GOOD INC 130 LENOX AVENUE 802 NEW YORK NY 100262503 9176961859 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 74640 38936 42067 103299 258942 0 0 74640 38936 42067 103299 258942 14152 244790 0 0 0 258942 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Grants and Similar Amounts Paid In Excess of $5,000.1 | Donee's Name: FINE FARE THIRD AVE | Cash Amount Given: $59600 Grants and Similar Amounts Paid In Excess of $5,000.2 | Donee's Name: FINE FARE MADISON AVE | Cash Amount Given: $11160 Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $2140 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $1500 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $581 Other Expenses.1 SUPPLIES $4480 Other Expenses.2 WEBSITE $2311 Other Expenses.3 FILING FEES $475 Other Expenses.4 MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES $126 Other Expenses.5 BANK FEES $120 Other Expenses.6 MEALS & MEETINGS $61
