FORM 990-EZ, PART I, LINE 10 - GRANTS AND SIMILAR AMOUNTS PAIDACTIVITY CLASSIFICATION: DONATIONS. GRANTEE NAME: MULTIPLE INDIVIDUALS. AMOUNT GIVEN: 55,320.
FORM 990-EZ, PART I, LINE 16 - OTHER EXPENSESDESCRIPTION: BANK AND PROCESSING FEES. AMOUNT: 1,204. DESCRIPTION: WEBSITE. AMOUNT: 509. DESCRIPTION: OFFICE SUPPLIES. AMOUNT: 282. DESCRIPTION: MISCELLANEOUS PROGRAM EXPENSE. AMOUNT: 344. DESCRIPTION: PERMITS AND LISCENSES. AMOUNT: 70. TOTAL TO FORM 990-EZ, LINE 16: 2,409.
FORM 990-EZ, PART III, LINE 28, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:SMALLER FOOD PANTRIES DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO BUY A LOT OF FRESH PRODUCE, OR CULTURALLY ALIGNED FOODS. THE NYC EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, PART OF HRA, AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TELL US WHICH PANTRIES ARE MISSING FRESH PRODUCE AND WE VISIT THEM, ENSURE THIS IS THE CASE AND THAT THEY HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO STORE THE PRODUCE, AND THEN WE WORK WITH THEM TO ORDER LOCAL AND REGIONAL FRESH PRODUCE FOR THEIR CLIENTS. DURING COVID, PANTRIES SAW LONG LINES AND NEW FAMILIES, MANY OF THEM FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. WE GIVE EXTRA FUNDS FOR PANTRIES TO TRY NEW FOODS SUCH AS BOK CHOY IN ORDER TO SERVICE SOME OF THE NEW CULTURAL NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY.
FORM 990-EZ, PART III, LINE 29, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:DURING COVID MANY OF THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND CLOSED RESTAURANTS FORMED POP-UP PANTRIES TO HELP THEIR COMMUNITY. WE WORKED WITH THOSE COMMUNITIES TO FILL THE MISSING NEEDED, HEALTHY FOODS THAT WERE MORE DIFFICULT FOR THESE GROUPS TO OBTAIN SUCH AS EGGS, HALAL MEAT, CHICKEN, TOFU, MASA FLOUR, CORN OIL AND COFFEE AS WELL AS FRESH PRODUCE.
FORM 990-EZ, PART III, LINE 30, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:ALTHOUGH PANTRIES ARE A GREAT SERVICE, WE FOUND THAT MOST PANTRIES COULD NOT SUPPLY ENOUGH FRESH MEATS, FRESH PRODUCE, OR KITCHEN STAPLES. WE WORKED WITH DIFFERENT COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IN HARLEM AND THE SOUTH BRONX TO DISTRIBUTE VOUCHERS FOR FOOD AT LOCAL SUPERMARKETS, PARTICULARLY TO PEOPLE WHO DID NOT QUALIFY FOR SNAP AND OTHER FEDERAL FUNDING. SUPERMARKETS THEN PRINTED OUT SECOND RECEIPTS AND WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH HUNTER COLLEGE'S FOOD POLICY CENTER TO RESEARCH THE RESULTS. BEFORE COVID, WE PARTNERED WITH RESTAURANTS THAT DONATED MONEY FROM ONE ITEM ON THEIR MENU FOR AT LEAST SIX MONTHS, AND THIS WOULD FUND THE WORK WITH SMALLER PANTRIES. DURING COVID, MOST OF THE RESTAURANTS CLOSED, AND WE BEGAN TO BUILD OUR WORK THROUGH INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS AND GRANTS. ALTHOUGH A FEW RESTAURANTS HAVE STARTED TO SUPPORT US AGAIN, MOST ARE STILL FIGHTING TO STAY ALIVE. WE HOPE WHEN COVID IS OVER, THAT RESTAURANTS WILL SUPPORT US ONCE AGAIN.
