Families would have to drive or take the bus to large grocery stores in other areas of town if they wanted a selection of healthy foods. The Argentine Betterment Corporation (ABC) built a grocery store in 2014 which is leased to a private corporation. Financing for the project was provided by a bank and the Unified Government of Wyandotte County Kansas. 114471 0 0 Healthy Challenge: Wyandotte County is ranked near last as 94th out of 101 counties in Kansas for health. Many factors influence health, and poor and minority families, like many of those in Argentine, are especially at risk because their community lacks the resources to encourage activity and often lack outdoor space for kids to play safe. Through community collaborations, ABC and its partners have implemented a numbers of ways in which healthy lifestyles for Argentine residents can be improved, including the ongoing presence in the community of a grocery store and the Healthy Challenge to promote and provide fitness programs. Projects in 2016 included a softball field renovation and sidewalk and curb repair and replacement. 5624 0 6493 Community Events: ABC works in partnership with residents, businesses and institutions to improve the quality of life for our community through three community annual events. Serve Day is the springtime neighborhood community clean-up; Silver City Day, the neighborhood pride event and parade; Argentine Holiday Lighting ceremony, which kicks off the holiday season for the neighborhood and provides holiday gifts to over 350 children. These events impact two to four thousand residents and young people.Neighborhood Group Advocacy: Provide growth resources and advocacy for neighborhood groups, youth programming, residents, businesses and institutions to improve the quality of life for our community. ABC does this by attending crucial government meetings, participating in discussions about local and regional concerns and communicating this information back to Argentine residents. This is achieved by scheduling and attending local neighborhood watch and homeowners meetings. 0 0 0 297548 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X Micah King 8165292724 PO Box 6613 Kansas City KS 66106 Pete Peterson President 5 X X 0 0 0 Monica DeLeon Vice-President/Treasurer 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Sandra Olivas-Talavera Secretary 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Patricia Dew Runyon Board Member 5 0 X 0 0 0 Patrick Dunn Board Member 3 0 X 0 0 0 Mario Escobar Executive Director 40 0 X 47567 0 0 47567 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 181727 165700 0 347427 Community Events 624190 6493 6493 0 0 Rental Income 531120 162411 162411 0 0 0 0 0 0 168904 0 0 0 0 0 0 516331 168904 0 0 47714 28629 19085 3650 2190 1460 9286 9286 13950 13950 24725 24725 4616 3539 1077 27 27 31519 31519 78098 78098 7746 7231 515 Community Events & Prgrms 61437 61437 0 0 Real Estate Taxes 33914 33914 0 0 Building Repair & Maint 16980 16980 0 0 333662 297548 36114 0 9535 76817 8667 71234 70171 0 265 265 3401600 232466 3244904 3169134 21482 149976 3355024 3467426 10446 6281 4000 0 816100 753998 0 0 830546 760279 X 2494139 2624675 30339 82472 0 0 2524478 2707147 3355024 3467426 182669 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 0 0 X 345601 1943728 469792 245718 347427 3352266 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 345601 1943728 469792 245718 347427 3352266 0 3352266 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 35 90 0 125 3352391 518772 0.99996 0.99996 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Other Income - 2014: Refunds of sales tax and insurance over-payment; and 2015: Reimbursements.
