Our cost per meal is about $10 per meal but as a non profit our efforts are focused on helping financially and physically challenged seniors and those with disabilities. We also deliver Thanksgiving Dinner every year to our MOW Clients This year a lady broke down and cried when I handed her a thanksgiving dinner. She said, "thank you for taking time out of your day to bring me a dinner, I live alone have and no family to be with and would have gone without, god bless you." Personal experiences like this happen all the time. I tell everyone this service is the collaborative efforts of our donors, volunteers, staff and Board of Directors. This is perfect example of what can be accomplished when people share in a common goal and have established a trusting relationship over time. Words cannot accurately express how much we appreciate all the T. R Eriksen Foundation has done for the senior center over the years. We can only be good stewards of the money you entrust in us and spend it at prudently as possible.C-1 Expenses$113,183.48C-2 Expenses$127,979.70 TRANSPORATIONThis year we provided 5,368 and increase of 1019 rides from last year. Our seniors depend on our door through door transportation service. Our drivers carry our seniors' groceries from their shopping carts into their homes. They have come to rely and trust on us to get them to safely to and from their medical and dental appointments, banking errands, surgeries, physical therapy appointments and the most appointments of all, getting the ladies to the salon. Our seniors were so appreciative not only of our transportation service but also the manner in which our drivers showed unwavering commitment to keep them safe. Isolation is more common in seniors than in other age groups, the social interaction between our drivers and passengers are mutually beneficial. I was a driver for 7 years before I became Executive Director and understand how lonely some of our seniors are and how important the social interaction between our drivers and passenger are. Marsha a long-time recipient of our transportation service was at home on Hospice care called and asked if could drop by and spend time with her during her last moments. This testimonial illustrates how essential our transportation this service is.Transportation Expenses$143,993.45 OUTREACH DEPARMENT I am happy and relieved to finally have hired Joanne Moore as our new outreach worker. Our goal of our Outreach Department is to empower seniors in living independent lives and support them so they can remain living in their own homes for as long as possible. We are in the process of connecting seniors via tablets to friends, family and other seniors as a means to address senior isolation. A lot of seniors are worried about contracting COVID-19 and are not socializing as much and in some cases not at all. I attached some of the services we are providing. Our Outreach Department is operating under our organizational philosophy, If we can help we will, if we can't, we will try and direct you to a resource that may assist you. We are not always able to help every person with every request, but we take pride in the manner we administer services, always with compassion, empathy and clear understanding of the unique challenges our seniors face.We are still having a hard time recruiting volunteers and 2 of our steadfast thrift store volunteers, Dorcas age 90 & Carol age 85 are retiring. They account for 64 hours of labor, experience and have such positive attitudes and hugehearts. They epitomize the meaning of what a volunteer encapsulates, selfless service in the benefit of others, they will be sorely missed. Our recent Polenta Drive through dinner had a low turnout with only 60 tickets sold, we usually sell 120 tickets to our drive through dinners. Due to the Mendocino County Health Order we are unable to host any indoor fundraising events. We will be looking at alternative methods of fundraising.Outreach Expenses$94,221.842023 PARKINSON'S & LIFE CHANGES SUPPORT GROUPSLinda Posner facilitated these much-needed support groups. Linda agreed to lower her price to facilitate the groups so we could allocate the remaining part of her wages ($865) towards our drive thru pick lunches and Meals on Wheels program. Linda has a huge heart and understands the importance the senior center is to seniors throughout the greater Willits area. The Parkinson's group is back to meeting regularly in person. Although the Parkinsons group numbers are dwindling we are continuing this essential support group.Support Group Expenses $3,600 ($300 per month) 703177 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true false false 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 true 0 0 true 21 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false true false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X Richard Baker 7074596826 1501 Baechtel Road Willits CA 95490 Richard Baker Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 64583 0 0 Gregory Mudd Finance Dir 20.00 0.00 X 37680 0 0 Carol Brown Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jim King Vice President 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cathie Gernhardt Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dorothy Roediger Secretary 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sue Sawyers President 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Melinda Hays Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Virginia Jorge Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 102263 0 false false false 0 196965 179890 376855 Administration 68274 68274 Meals 132176 132176 Outreach 1154 1154 Program Income 26438 26438 Transportation 11275 11275 239317 4249 4249 0 0 0 0 41304 41304 37929 0 310973 310973 310973 0 972698 239317 353151 0 0 0 0 102263 74920 22283 5060 0 400140 324113 68024 8003 0 16856 13653 2866 337 40851 33089 6945 817 0 90 73 15 2 11178 9054 1900 224 0 0 0 0 3968 3214 675 79 0 0 0 29974 24279 5096 599 0 0 0 0 0 27781 22503 4722 556 24614 19937 4185 492 Food 82140 82140 Utilities 53726 43518 9133 1075 employee meals 19761 16006 3360 395 sees candy 9640 9640 47137 36678 9324 1135 870119 703177 138528 28414 244860 292813 178454 245410 0 27460 33756 0 0 0 7931 7931 192 192 1752883 1191915 578812 560968 0 0 0 0 104431 108291 1142140 1249361 41179 40585 41179 40585 X 968683 1076498 132278 132278 1100961 1208776 1142140 1249361 X 102579 5236 X false false false X 456486 464256 400843 392586 376855 2091026 191308 186353 201348 215221 239317 1033547 0 0 0 647794 650609 602191 607807 616172 3124573 0 0 3124573 3257 2840 1390 709 4249 12445 0 3257 2840 1390 709 4249 12445 0 296553 324597 296006 275035 357277 1549468 947604 978046 899587 883551 977698 4686486 0.66670 0.66830 0.00270 0.00250 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 94500 94500 906100 625248 280852 214371 31522 182849 537912 535145 2767 560968 Undeposited funds 108291 X X X false Fundraising events 37929 37929 37929 37929 37929 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Our finance committee along with the president, Sue Sawyers, is presented with the proposed 990.
