We envision a time when everyone in NYC will have equitable access to a variety of healthy, fresh food. Increasing the resiliency of local food systems by partnering with regional farms, local food businesses and schools and pantries to ensure a sufficient supply of acceptable and accessible food for all. false false 139795 135491 Meals For Good works with community-based organizations (CBOs) in high poverty neighborhoods to distribute vouchers for independent supermarkets. These vouchers are distributed to people who are food insecure. The number of vouchers each person receives is based on the size of each family and the amount of the Meals For Good grant. Each week, the supermarkets return the used vouchers with receipt data so we can see what people buy. Not surprisingly, people in every neighborhood where vouchers have been distributed, they buy high quality meats, fresh produce and kitchen basics such as corn oil, flour and other pantry staples. Our data shows that vouchers are redeemed at a very high rate, food insecurity is significantly reduced, mothers say they dont have to miss a meal so their children can eat, health is improved and financial security is increased. We are continuing to work with institutions that will collect data with the goal of helping more jurisdictions in NYC and beyond, to create similar voucher programs. 4065 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 PANTIRES 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. 143860 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 6 6 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false NY X MEALS FOR GOOD INC 9176961859 130 LENOX AVENUE 802 NEW YORK NY 100262503 X CATHY NONAS Treasurer 20.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL HURWITZ Vice President 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GREGORY SILVERMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SASHA ALEXANDER NONAS-BARNES BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROSEMONDE PIERRE-LOUIS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SUSANNAH KOTEEN President 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 258018 258018 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 258018 135491 135491 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3855 3855 4304 4304 229 229 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1698 1698 SUPPLIES 4065 4065 SUBSCRIPTIONS 569 569 BANK FEES 220 220 0 150431 143860 6571 0 46632 154219 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 46632 154219 0 0 X 46632 154219 46632 154219 46632 154219 107587 X false false false X 74640 38936 42067 103299 258018 516960 0 0 74640 38936 42067 103299 258018 516960 2105 514855 0 0 0 516960 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false 1239 FOOD CORP 1239 ST NICHOLAS AVE NEW YORK NY 10032 8970 0 BRA CORP 1301 CHURCH AVE BROOKLYN NY 11226 7370 0 FINE FARE 3RD AVE 1891 3RD AVE NEW YORK NY 10029 66250 0 FINE FARE MADISON 1718 MADISON AVE NEW YORK NY 10029 16700 0 GARRIDO FOOD CORP 1086 BROOKLYN AVE EAST FLATBUSH NY 11203 6670 0 JD 710 FOOD CORP 710 CONEY ISLAND AVE BROOKLYN NY 11218 20920 0 0 6 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 CATHY NONAS IS THE MOTHER OF SASHA ALEXANDER NONAS-BARNES.
