During fiscal year 2019 a full historical analysis of activity was done in conjunction with a physical inventory. The asset balances were corrected based on a newly defined capitalization policy depreciation recorded based on GAAP and assets were removed based on the physical inventory as needed. All adjustments were recorded in FY 2019. The impact of these adjustments is immaterial to the current year and none of these accounting issues and inconsistencies were material to any previous year. 488951 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 0 0 2 true false false false false false 0 0 false X 4 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false true true false X Debora Langdon 3012626765 2614 KENHILL DR STE 134 BOWIE MD 207152534 Debora Langdon Director 34.00 0.00 X 43233 0 0 Rev Wendy Deeben President 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Wallace Vice President 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah Crim Secretary 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lorraine Meadows Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 43233 0 0 0 false false false 0 0 0 0 48000 725857 363584 773857 0 466 466 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 774323 466 0 0 0 0 488951 488951 0 0 65023 0 65023 0 0 0 0 0 1440 0 1440 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4725 0 4725 0 0 0 0 0 6421 0 6421 0 1950 0 1950 0 0 0 0 0 6328 0 6328 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6508 0 6508 0 1139 0 1139 0 Disposal of refrigerator 2849 0 2849 0 Packaging for food distribution 2742 0 2742 0 Membership Dues 588 0 588 0 0 0 0 0 588664 488951 99713 0 349466 290848 0 246466 0 0 0 3000 0 0 0 0 0 0 10785 17197 0 1624 8720 6508 9310 2212 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 369561 561347 0 5087 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3575 4615 3575 9702 X 0 0 0 0 365986 551645 365986 551645 369561 561347 185659 0 0 0 0 0 X false false false X 540863 476526 440403 414829 773857 2646478 0 0 0 0 6000 6000 540863 476526 440403 414829 779857 2652478 2652478 0 0 0 0 466 466 0 0 0 0 466 466 540863 476526 440403 414829 780323 2652944 0.99982 1 0.00018 0.00 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8720 6508 2212 0 0 0 0 2212 Federal withholding and payroll taxes 3270 State withholding and payroll taxes 1345 4615 true Food to client families in 4949 visits 978 0 418925 Estimated purchase price Food personal care household items Rent and utilities assistance 18 0 35281 Amount paid to vendor Payments made directly to third party vendors Educational assistance 96 0 7737 Estimated purchase price Backpacks and school supplies Holiday food baskets 293 0 18758 Estimated purchase price November and December holiday meals Holiday gifts 219 0 8250 Estimated purchase price Christmas gifts to children of clients Part I Line 2 Households applying for food assistance must meet published guidelines for income & residency.

The pantry moved its operations outside providing drive up service only. The Director checked clients in and volunteers loaded groceries into the vehicles.

In addition to donations from individuals businesses schools and religious and service organizations the community organized three large food drives collecting food from homes in Bowie. The pantry recruited shoppers to purchase needed food items not received through donations. The number of volunteers decreased from 120 to 59.
