THE ORGANIZATION ACCOMPLISHES ITS MISSION THROUGH FOUR PILLARS OF PURPOSE INCLUDING NEWBORN SUPPORT, EARLY CHILDHOOD LITERACY, COMMUNITY EDUCATION, AND COMMUNITY SERVICE. THE ORGANIZATION OPERATES A BASIC NEEDS BANK WHERE IT DISTRIBUTES DIAPERS THROUGH THE ALLIED FOUNDATION DIAPER BANK AND PERIOD SUPPLIES THROUGH THE ALLIED FOUNDATION PERIOD PROJECT, FREE OF CHARGE TO THOSE IN NEED. DIAPERS ARE AN ESSENTIAL NEED NO BABY SHOULD EVER HAVE TO GO WITHOUT. CHILDREN IN LOW-INCOME FAMILIES ARE AT GREATEST RISK OF SUFFERING THE EFFECTS OF DIAPER NEED BECAUSE MANY FAMILIES CANNOT AFFORD DIAPERS. THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE DIAPERS AS A BASIC OR ESSENTIAL NEED AND NO PROGRAM (NOT SNAP, WIC OR MEDICAID) ALLOCATES DOLLARS SPECIFICALLY FOR THEIR PURCHASE. DIAPER NEED IMPACTS THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND ECONOMIC WELL-BEING OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. THE ALLIED FOUNDATION DIAPER BANK COLLECTED, PURCHASED, AND DISTRIBUTED 765,625 DIAPERS AND WIPES, FREE OF CHARGE TO FAMILIES IN NEED ACROSS LONG ISLAND (NASSAU AND SUFFOLK) AND IN QUEENS AND BROOKLYN. WE DISTRIBUTE DIAPERS IN COLLABORATION WITH 60 PARTNER AGENCIES IN COMMUNITIES OF NEED AND HELP FAMILIES WHO REQUIRE EMERGENCY DIAPER ASSISTANCE. THE FAMILIES WE SERVE RECEIVE SNAP AND WIC NUTRITIONAL PROGRAM SERVICES, TANF, SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICAID, ASSISTANCE FROM HUMAN SERVICE AGENCIES, UTILIZE FREE AND SUBSIDIZED CHILDCARE CENTERS AND FOOD PANTRIES. THEY RESIDE IN SHELTERS, AND MOTHER-CHILD HOUSING PROGRAMS, ARE SINGLE PARENTS, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SURVIVORS, AND ARE LIVING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS. AS THE ONLY LONG ISLAND MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL DIAPER BANK NETWORK, WE WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH FELLOW DIAPER BANKS ACROSS THE NATION, SECURE DIAPERS AND WIPES THROUGH THEIR PROPRIETARY DIAPER PURCHASING PROGRAM, AND ADVOCATE FOR FAMILIES ON A NATIONAL LEVEL TO ENACT CHANGE. WE BECAME A MEMBER AGENCY OF THE BABY2BABY NETWORK, WHICH PROVIDES CHILDREN LIVING IN POVERTY WITH DIAPERS, CLOTHING, AND ALL THE BASIC NECESSITIES THAT EVERY CHILD DESERVES. WE RAISED AWARENESS DURING NATIONAL DIAPER NEED AWARENESS WEEK AND HOSTED FREE DIAPER DISTRIBUTION EVENTS IN BRIDGEHAMPTON, HEMPSTEAD, PATCHOGUE, HUNTINGTON STATION, AND IN ROSLYN AT THE JUNIOR LEAGUE OF LONG ISLAND. OVER 75,000 DIAPERS WERE DISTRIBUTED AT THESE EVENTS. WE END 2022 BY MARKING A MILESTONE IN DISTRIBUTING OUR 2 MILLIONTH DIAPER, IMPACTING OVER 125,000 BABIES AND THEIR FAMILIES. 0 92789 POTTY INDEPENDENCE INITIATIVECREATED AND LAUNCHED OUR POTTY INDEPENDENCE INITIATIVE TO HELP FAMILIES WITH TODDLERS 2-3 YEARS OF AGE WHO STRUGGLE TO AFFORD THE HIGH COST OF PULL-UP DIAPERS AND GIVE TODDLERS THE TOOLS TO HELP THEM BUILD THE BRIDGE TO POTTY INDEPENDENCE. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, WE PROVIDE FAMILIES WITH GUIDANCE ON HOW THEY CAN HELP THEIR TODDLER TRANSITION FROM DIAPERS TO POTTY AND A POTTY TOOLKIT THAT THEY CAN WORK TOWARD TOGETHER. THE POTTY TOOLKIT INCLUDES TANGIBLE ITEMS TO FOSTER THEIR POTTY SUCCESS INCLUDING: A REASSURING POTTY BOOK DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR TODDLERS IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH. THAT SHOWCASES THE MANY STAGES OF POTTY TRAINING THAT KIDS EXPERIENCE. THE BOOKS ALSO CONTAIN TIPS FOR PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN SUPPORT THEIR CHILDREN. A STURDY POTTY SEAT WITH BUILT-IN HANDLES FOR ADDED SECURITY AND EASE OF USE FOR TODDLERS TO PUT ON AND OFF A STANDARD TOILET THEMSELVES. THEY ARE ALSO PORTABLE AND CAN BE USED OUTSIDE OF THE HOME. A PACK OF UNDERWEAR TO SIGNAL THE TRANSITION FROM DIAPERS TO UNDERWEAR AND HELP GET THE TODDLER EXCITED FOR THIS NEW PHASE. WE HAVE DISTRIBUTED 125 POTTY KITS INTO BOTH NASSAU AND SUFFOLK COUNTIES. WE WILL EXPAND OUR EFFORTS AND WORK WITH FAMILIES AND AGENCIES TO ENHANCE OUR EFFORTS. ALLIED MILK DEPOTSALLIED MILK DEPOTS PROVIDE MOMS WITH A DIRECT WAY TO DONATE THEIR EXCESS BREAST MILK AND SAVE THE LIVES OF PREMATURE BABIES. THROUGH OUR ALLIED MILK DEPOTS LOCATED IN RIVERHEAD, NEW HYDE PARK, NYACK AND BROOKLYN WE FOSTERED THE COLLECTION OF 112,103 OUNCES OF DONOR MILK. THE LIFESAVING DONATED BREAST MILK IS DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT NEW YORK STATE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NEW YORK MILK BANK. 0 16589 ALLIED FOUNDATION PERIOD PROJECT WAS CREATED TO SUPPORT THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE BASIC PRODUCTS REQUIRED TO MANAGE THEIR MENSTRUAL HEALTH. ACCORDING TO A 2021 KOTEX SURVEY: 2 IN 5 PEOPLE HAVE STRUGGLED TO PURCHASE PERIOD SUPPLIES DUE TO LACK OF INCOME. CURRENTLY, STATE AND FEDERAL SAFETY-NET PROGRAMS CANNOT BE USED TO PURCHASE PERIOD SUPPLIES. ONLY 4% OF PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF A LOCAL RESOURCE WHERE FREE OR REDUCED-COST PERIOD SUPPLIES ARE AVAILABLE. WE AIM TO CHANGE THAT BY ADVOCATING FOR CHANGE TO HELP END PERIOD POVERTY AND ACHIEVE MENSTRUAL EQUITY FOR ALL. WE REMAIN THE ONLY LONG ISLAND MEMBER OF THE ALLIANCE FOR PERIOD SUPPLIES AND ONE OF 7 PERIOD SUPPLY BANKS IN ALL OF NEW YORK STATE DEDICATED TO ADDRESS PERIOD POVERTY IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. WE HAVE DISTRIBUTED 182,398-PERIOD SUPPLIES INTO COMMUNITIES OF NEED INCLUDING BROOKLYN, HEMPSTEAD, HUNTINGTON STATION, JERICHO, LEVITTOWN, MIDDLE ISLAND, MONTAUK, PATCHOGUE, QUEENS, RIVERHEAD, ROCKY POINT, ROOSEVELT, SAG HARBOR, SOUTHOLD, AND WESTBURY. WE PARTICIPATED IN NATIONAL PERIOD POVERTY AWARENESS WEEK TO RAISE AWARENESS AROUND MENSTRUAL EQUITY: WHERE EVERYONE HAS THE RESOURCES, THEY NEED TO MANAGE THEIR PERIODS SAFELY, EFFECTIVELY, AND WITH DIGNITY. 0 4061 LITERACY PROGRAMWE BELIEVE THAT ALL CHILDREN SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO BOOKS AND SHARE WITH FAMILIES THE IMPORTANCE OF READING TOGETHER IN THEIR DAILY ROUTINE. BY ENCOURAGING THE LOVE OF READING AT A YOUNG AGE WE AIM TO FOSTER A CHILD'S HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT BY GIVING THEM THE TOOLS NEEDED FOR THEIR ACADEMIC SUCCESS.WE ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION TO FOSTER EARLY CHILDHOOD LITERACY BY PROVIDING BOOKS THROUGH OUR REACH OUT AND READ PEDIATRIC OFFICES AND ADVISING FAMILIES ON THE IMPORTANCE OF READING. WE ALSO COLLECT AND DONATE THOUSANDS OF BOOKS ANNUALLY THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE BOOK FAIRIES TO ASSIST THEM IN SETTING UP LIBRARIES AND PROVIDING BOOKS TO CHILDREN LIVING IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. 0 3719 SCHOLARSHIP AWARDSWE HONOR THE PHILANTHROPIC LEGACY AND MEMORY OF THE EXTRAORDINARY LIFE LED BY ANDREW FIERSTEIN THROUGH AN AWARD GIVEN ANNUALLY TO A PEDIATRIC RESIDENT ENROLLED IN AN ACCREDITED NEW YORK PEDIATRIC TRAINING PROGRAM.
