WE PURCHASE FRESH VEGETABLES, FRUIT, AND RICE FOR OUR TWO WEEKLY FOOD DISTRIBUTIONS AT OUR COMMUNITY CENTER ON STEINWAY, AS WELL AS FOR A DISTRIBUTION AT ASTORIA HOUSES EVERY OTHER WEEK. BUYING FOOD EACH WEEK ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE CONSISTENCY IN THE AMOUNT, TYPE, AND FRESHNESS OF THE FOOD, AND WE SUPPLEMENT THIS PURCHASED FOOD WITH FOOD THAT IS DONATED TO US. THROUGH THESE DISTRIBUTIONS, WE PROVIDE FOOD TO OVER 500 PEOPLE PER WEEK. WE ALSO BUY AND DISTRIBUTE HOT VEGAN MEALS AT QUEENSBRIDGE HOUSES,AND WE BUY SNACKS, WATER, AND MEALS ON THE GO THAT WE DISTRIBUTE ON THE STREETS AND TO PEOPLE WHO ARE UNHOUSED OR LIVING IN SHELTERS.WE OPERATE A COMMUNITY CENTER AT 2582 STEINWAY STREET IN ASTORIA, NY. MOST OF THIS SPENDING WENT TO OUR RENT, WHICH WAS $4,000 PER MONTH, AND THE REMAINING WAS FOR OFFICE EXPENSES (UTILITIES, MAINTENANCE, AND SUPPLIES TO KEEP THE SPACE FUNCTIONAL LIKE TRASH BAGS, CLEANING SUPPLIES, AND LIGHTBULBS.) WE USE THE SPACE AT LEAST 4 DAYS PER WEEK FOR FOOD, CLOTHING, AND BOOK DISTRIBUTIONS. WHENEVER THE SPACE IS NOT BEING USED FOR A DISTRIBUTION, WE OFFER IT TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO BORROW FOR OTHER MUTUAL AID PROJECTS OR TO OFFER FREE OR LOW-COST EVENTS TO THE PUBLIC. THIS YEAR, THE SPACE WAS REGULARLY USED FOR AN ENGLISH CLASS, A BOARD GAME NIGHT, AN OPEN MIC, AN ART SUPPLY SWAP, AND A COLLECTIVE THAT SUPPORTS TRANSGENDER PEOPLE. WE ALSO HOSTED ONE-TIME EVENTS LIKE AN ART SHOW, A STAGING OF A PLAY, AND A FUNDRAISER FOR LAIDOFF UNION WORKERS. WITH OUR SPACE, WE ARE ALSO ABLE TO HOST TEAM MEMBERS FROM THE ASTORIA WORKER PROJECT, A LOCAL EFFORT OF THE CONSORTIUM FOR WORKER EDUCATION. THEY SUBLET AN OFFICE FOR TWO OF THEIR STAFF MEMBERS AND USE THE COMMON SPACE OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER WHEN ITS AVAILABLE TO OFFER CLASSES.EVERY MONTH, WE BUY AND DISTRIBUTE DIAPERS AND BABY WIPES TO THE COMMUNITY. WE DISTRIBUTE THESE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED, AND EACH PERSON GETS ONE PACK OF DIAPERS AND ONE PACK OF WIPES. WE DO THESE DISTRIBUTIONS DURING OUR MONDAY FOOD PANTRY, SO ANYONE WHO COMES FOR DIAPERS CAN ALSO PICK UP FOOD. THE FUNDS ARE SPENT ON NEW PACKAGES OF DIAPERS AND WIPES, AND WE ALSO COLLECT DONATIONS OF BABY NEEDS AND DISTRIBUTE THEM AT THAT TIME. WE TRY TO ALWAYS HAVE FORMULA AND BABY FOOD AVAILABLE ON THAT DAY. WE ALSO COLLECT AND DISTRIBUTE DIAPERS AND PADS FOR ADULTS, AND OCCASIONALLY BUY THOSE WHEN WE ARE UNDERSTOCKED ON DONATIONS.WE OPERATE A TRUCK THAT IS USED FOR PICKING UP AND DISTRIBUTING FOOD, CLOTHES, BOOKS, OR OTHER NEEDS FOR OUR PROGRAMS. WE TAKE THE TRUCK OUT ON THREE WEEKLY FOOD PICK UPS, TWO FROM GROCERY DISTRIBUTORS AND ONE FROM A LARGE BREAD BAKERY. WE ALSO USE THE TRUCK TO BRING FOOD, CLOTHES, AND OTHER SUPPLIES TO DISTRIBUTE AT ASTORIA HOUSES AND QUEENSBRIDGE HOUSES. THE TRUCK IS USED AS NEEDED TO DO DISTRIBUTIONS TO PEOPLE ON THE STREETS, IN SHELTERS, OR AT PUBLIC SCHOOLS. WHEN AVAILABLE, OUR DRIVERS ALSO SUPPORT OTHER FOOD PANTRIES AND MUTUAL AID EFFORTS WITH THEIR PICK UPS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. 270884 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 28 28 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 NY X CATHERINE FIREMAN 6463978383 2582 STEINWAY STREET ASTORIA NY 11103 X KATO LASTNAME PRESIDENT 5.00 X X 0 0 0 CATHERINE FIREMAN TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 MARYAM SHARIAT VICE TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 JUDE BRANDT SECRETARY 5.00 X X 0 0 0 ALEXANDER KOUTAVAS BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 BENHAM JONES BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 BRIANNA GREEN BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 CAILIN POTAMI BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 CHLOE SEIBERT BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTIAN NOLAND BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 CODY UMANS BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID PARK BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 DEREK LUDOVICI BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 EMMA STEWART BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 HAZEL JOSEPH BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 IRINA LOIZZO BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 JENNA NG LOWRY BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 JOE CRAIG BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 LEO KALLAS BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 LIAH PATERSON BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 MACAELA SEARS BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 MARE HOLZMAN-TWEED BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 MARITZA RICO BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 MARGARET HORNING BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 NATALIA IRIZARRY-COLE BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 PILOT VIRUET BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 SHAY RYAN BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 SIMRAN SINGH BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10537 201755 212292 55000 0 55000 55000 55000 0 10537 0 0 5460 0 5460 5460 272752 5460 0 55000 1180 1180 2831 2831 630 630 16777 12583 4194 1684 1263 337 84 48293 36220 12073 78 78 6059 4544 1515 FOOD PURCHASES 156232 156232 OTHER PURCHASES 18431 18431 BABY SUPPLY PURCHASES 15026 15026 CLOTHING PURCHASES 13133 13133 9745 9363 382 290099 270884 18749 466 78130 58217 3000 81130 58217 5566 5566 0 X 75564 58217 75564 58217 81130 58217 -17347 0 X 1 X 0 0 0 X 47190 110509 173876 212292 543867 47190 110509 173876 212292 543867 1823 542044 60000 55000 115000 658867 21305 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 CODY UMANS AND MARGARET HORNING ARE MARRIED.
