Operation of the Food Pantry: In 2024 Catskill Food Pantry had two part-time staff who were responsible for all aspects of the Pantry's operations and administration. The staff spend at least three days a week on Pantry operations: on Mondays they assess inventory and order items that need replenishment; on Thursdays they travel to the Regional Food Bank in Albany, NY (40 miles away) to pick up previously ordered items and select fresh foods available the day of pick-up, then return to the Pantry to oversee and assist the unloading, unpacking and shelving of goods; and Fridays entail actively staffing the Pantry, overseeing volunteers and engaging with our patrons, then cleaning up, storing or redistributing any leftover foods. Weekly administrative tasks include staying on top of funding opportunities and keeping current with all compliance paperwork required, as well as tracking both pantry usage and inventory, vehicle rentals, volunteer scheduling, and more. In 2023, the Catskill Food Pantry was open 50 weeks on Fridays and served, on average, 123 households per week. 0 57642 Securing of Food on a Weekly Basis: The Catskill Food Pantry does not own a vehicle for its weekly trips to the Regional Food Bank in Albany, NY. The frequent rental of a reliable van/truck and the associated gas and toll expenses is essential to the efficient pick-up and delivery of increasingly large quantities of food. 0 7180 Storage of Food: In 2024, the number of visitors to the Pantry increased significantly from previous years, requiring the purchase of an additional freezer and multiple shelving units for food storage. 0 3058 67880 Stuart Breslow Chair Board of Trustees 5 0 0 0 Helen Smith Treasurer and Secretary 2 0 0 0 Jay Lesenger Board member 1 0 0 0 Neva Wartell Executive Director 20 10800 0 0 Scott Andrews Operations Manager 20 9424 0 0 Leslie Ritter Board member 7 0 0 0 Liz Martinez Board member 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NY Helen Smith Catskill Food Pantry PO Box 140 Catskill NY 12414 5182251979 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 17979 74226 78030 170235 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 17979 74226 78030 170235 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 170235 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 17979 74226 78030 170235 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 $1,500 donation to Athens Community Farm Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Van rental and fuel;7180|Food purchases from Regional Food Bank;34617|Insurance;1337|Pantry Supplies;2129|Equipment;3058|Internet;188^Total;48509^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 purchase of freezer and depreciated value of other equipment The Catskill Food Pantry is a very small organization with a very part-time Treasurer who moved out of state in late 2024. She thought she could submit the filing by mail which she did and received notification from the IRS they received it on May 13 2025. We just received the letter from the IRS on June 27 2025 stating the 990 EZ needed to be e-filed. We ask please for removal of any fines and/or late fees. Thank you very much.
