Many adults in the Mott Haven neighborhood struggle to meet their own physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. The prevalence of individuals fighting addictions is the starkest evidence of the struggle, however, it is more subtly seen in adults who lack supportive, healthy relationships. In a large metropolis such as New York, many adults feel isolated, alone, unheard, and unseen. Adults are looking for a place to belong. Graffiti 2 Helps seeks to address these challenges by offering direct assistance and support to adults within the Mott Haven neighborhood. The program involves three strategic components: meeting needs, building relationships, and allowing God to transform lives. In 2020, G2 Helps began a new outreach called Stop & Care. The Stop & Care outreach focuses on meeting needs of individuals struggling with addiction. Rather than providing grab & go meals, the focus is stopping and providing holistic care to an individual on the street. This includes eating breakfast together, listening to a persons story, praying for the person, and providing a care kit to the individual. As a result of the COVID19 pandemic, the G2 Helps program adjusted to meet the unique needs of this period. These adjustments included addressing food insecurity within the community, providing benevolence micro-grants to address financial needs, and paying particular attention to the mental, emotional, and social needs of our neighbors. 30559 197728 true true 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 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 false 11 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false true false false false false true true false false true true true true true false true true false NY X X Andrew Mann 3472978059 PO Box 541559 Bronx NY 10454 X Anthony Assent Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Noah Johnson Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ian Lau Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Milagros Lopez Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Mann Board Member 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Maria Ortiz Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Erin Vowell President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 David Hayes Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 David Winton Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 387797 387797 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7778 1626 6152 6152 Miscellaneous 893 893 893 394842 7045 0 0 0 0 0 0 153266 113662 31987 7617 0 31988 21785 9393 810 10255 6984 3011 260 0 0 4000 4000 0 0 0 8987 2544 6443 0 939 751 188 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1003 802 201 11085 8868 2217 YOUTH PROGRAM 39171 33356 5815 BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS 6723 5610 1113 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 5119 5119 SPECIAL EVENTS 3465 1709 1756 3386 1657 1729 279387 197728 65401 16258 112171 262699 0 0 0 0 0 0 3558 5184 0 16975 14371 3607 2604 0 0 0 0 0 119336 270487 3956 2852 36800 3956 39652 X 115380 192068 38767 115380 230835 119336 270487 115455 X true X false true false X 259526 251424 283864 275794 387797 1458405 0 0 259526 251424 283864 275794 387797 1458405 0 1458405 0 0 41301 10080 12256 1992 893 66522 1524927 0.95640 0.93360 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 16975 14371 2604 2604 Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Form 990, Part VI, Line 4: Description of Significant Changes to Organizational Documents On December 11, 2018, the organization amended its bylaws.
