Compared to the previous year, the food pantry distributed food to 4,044 more people than in 2015. Our refrigerated truck makes a daily run to pick up food donations from about a dozen local stores, working in coordination with the United Food Banks "Enabled Agency" Program. We also receive several palettes of TEFAP Food (USDA) through the United Food Bank each week. With the help of about 25 volunteers each week we are able to keep the wait time on distribution days down to an average of between 30 and 45 minutes. We were approved for a grant from Mesa United Way, which we used to pay for a portion of the purchase and installation of a walk-in cooler, which gave us the ample storage space that we needed so badly. The rest of that project was funded by generous donors. Looking ahead to 2017, our goal is to install a walk-in freezer and we are looking at the possibility of purchasing a new refrigerator truck to cut down on the frequent maintenance and repair costs that we currently have. These have become a burden for us as we try to budget our monthly expenses and then something on the truck is needing to be repaired/replaced in order to continue the work laid out for us. Many of our volunteers are people from the community who, having benefited from the Food Pantry during a time of personal need, want to give back by helping us reach others also in need. Some volunteers are working off court-ordered community service hours, but majority of our workers are simply people who, out of Christian compassion, volunteer their time to help their neighbors in need.We continue to see God working in mighty ways, and though we are sometimes wondering how we will continue on, God always provides! 1292178 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 true false false false false false false false false false false 0 0 false 4 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 5 2 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X Daniel Giles 4809813993 590 N 96th St Mesa AZ 85207 Daniel Giles Chairman 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Linda Fredrickson Secretary 10.00 0.00 X X 12000 0 0 Harold Lee Director 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Glenn Fredrickson Adviser 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Allen Monson Adviser 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 12000 0 false false false 0 1296551 1200000 1296551 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1296551 0 0 0 0 12000 12000 0 28041 28041 0 0 3063 3063 0 860 860 460 460 0 0 0 0 0 1488 1488 1225 1225 0 8026 8026 0 0 0 0 0 6462 6462 1052 1052 Value of Food Donations 1200000 1200000 Truck/Auto Repairs and Maint 12228 12228 Supplies 7220 7220 Electricity Church Alloc Cost 6317 6317 5199 5056 143 1293641 1292178 1463 0 8446 5437 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 39313 14054 17711 25259 0 0 0 210 69 0 26367 30765 1488 0 1488 X 26367 29277 26367 29277 26367 30765 2910 X false false false X 12405 960757 1280043 1400425 1296551 4950181 0 0 12405 960757 1280043 1400425 1296551 4950181 0 4950181 0 0 0 4950181 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 23995 11998 11997 15318 2056 13262 25259 X 1 1200000 Thrift Store / FMV false false false Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process No review was or will be conducted.
