Our programs bridge the gap for thousands of individuals and families who struggle to afford nutritious food, providing a stable foundation of support that promotes community health and dignity.Operating twice weekly (Tuesdays and Thursdays), our pantry operates via a client choice model to provide fresh produce, proteins and shelf stable items to individuals and families in need. This approach ensures neighbors receive groceries that will last a minimum of 3 days and meet their household and cultural preferences. In FY 2025, we distributed 6,011 pantry bags, providing essential groceries to 18,912 individuals. In addition to our pantry, our center also offered Monday to Friday, hot nutritious meals for those in immediate need through our lunch and dinner services. Our soup kitchen services provided 26,687 total meals (15,342 lunches and 11,345 dinners) to individuals throughout the year. Beyond food, we have periodic clothing distributions and toy drives to provide additional resources to the community. . 506202 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 2 0 1 8 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 9 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 NY X UMCS 2128703084 475 Riverside Dr Suite 1922 New York NY 10115 Fred Brewington Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 David Henry member 2.00 2.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Sapio member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Rev Angela Redman Member 5.00 35.00 X 0 192904 49674 Rev Elizabeth Abel member 1.00 3.00 X 0 0 0 Servet N Bayimli President 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Lisa Isom member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rev Romin Hong member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rev Denise C Pickett member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Margaret Schramn Horn Member 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 0 192904 49674 0 0 1 0 0 113786 138090 216630 254794 468506 8764 8764 18359 10939 7420 7420 7420 484690 0 0 16184 132001 127072 4929 5049 4852 197 10036 9661 375 5105 4914 191 6454 6213 241 2835 2835 3798 3798 1435 1381 54 1605 1425 180 6261 6027 234 58780 56585 2195 1627 1339 288 120 26 94 2530 2436 94 8544 8225 319 In-kind Food and other 250703 250703 Repairs and maint. 17034 16398 636 Food Supplies 8945 8945 522862 506202 16660 0 19294 1418 12366 3515 22500 4363 441 491 75190 36478 26147 38712 305473 322979 32152 137097 418373 508575 20400 17723 17205 128573 37605 146296 X 374913 358279 5855 4000 380768 362279 418373 508575 -38172 19683 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 294027 331640 365734 420104 468506 1880011 294027 331640 365734 420104 468506 1880011 0 5000 5000 5000 5000 1875011 6968 8293 8743 13505 16184 53693 6968 8293 8743 13505 16184 53693 300995 339933 374477 433609 484690 1933704 0.96960 0.96930 0.02780 0.02480 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 60095 36352 23743 15095 126 14969 38712 Frontier Foundation 322979 F 322979 Security Deposits 8000 Right of Use Asset 128460 Amounts due from UMCS - Member 637 137097 Lease Liaibilities 128573 128573 Part X Other Liabilities Part X Other Liabilities - The Organization occupies program space under an operating lease.

Form 990, Part III, line 3 Client-Choice Model: We fully transitioned from pre-bagged distributions to a "Client Choice" pantry model. This allows neighbors to select food that meets their specific household size and cultural preferences, thereby improving the overall client experience and reducing food waste. Digital Reservation System: We implemented a reservation-based system through the Plentiful app. This has effectively eliminated long outdoor wait times and the associated stigma of standing in a physical line. Extended Service Hours: By moving to an appointment-based system, we have been able to extend service hours and offer two sessions on pantry days to better accommodate working families who previously could not access the pantry during traditional morning hours.
