Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
IN MAY OF 2021 WE GREATLY INCREASED OUR SERVICE CAPABILITY FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND MOVED OUR ENTIRE OPERATION INTO AN 8.000 SQUARE FOOT LEASED FACILITY ON THE BORDERS OF HUNTERDON AND WARREN COUNTIES. WE EXPANDED OUR FOOD PANTRY BY OVER FOUR TIMES ITS PREVIOUS FOOTPRINT. THIS ALLOWS US TO NOT ONLY SERVE MORE FAMILIES IN HARDSHIP, BUT WE ARE ABLE TO OFFER FROZEN, REFRIGERATED, AND OTHER PERISHABLE ITEMS. OUR PANTRY ALSO PROVIDES CRITICAL PERSONAL HYGIENE SUPPLIES, BABY FOOD, DIAPERS, AND HOUSEHOLD CLEANING AND CARE SUPPLIES. IN 2021 WE PROVIDED OVER 42,000 POUNDS OF FOOD AND PERSONAL CARE SUPPLIES AT NO COST TO OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED.
THE ADJACENT CLOTHING THRIFT STORE SERVES AS BOTH OUR LARGEST FUNDRAISER TO OFFSET OUR OPERATING COSTS AND AS A MULTIFACETED HUB FOR OUR COMMUNITY. MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY DONATE QUALITY CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIES, FOOD, HYGIENE SUPPLIES, AND OTHER NEEDED DONATIONS. THIS COMMUNITY HUB IS WHERE WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE ANYONE WITH INFORMATION ABOUT OUR SERVICES, VOLUNTEERING, DONATING, AND PARTICIPATING IN OUR EFFORTS. VOLUNTEERS PROCESS CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIES DONATIONS THAT ARE BOTH SOLD TO THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE AT DEEPLY DISCOUNTED PRICES. THIS MAKES AFFORDABLE, HIGH QUALITY CLOTHING ACCESSIBLE TO ALL, WHILE ALSO SERVING AS A FUNDRAISER TO OFFSET OUR COSTS. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THROUGH GIFT VOUCHERS TO THE STORE, FAMILIES THAT FREQUENT OUR FOOD PANTRY CAN SHOP WITH DIGNITY TO ACCESS QUALITY CLOTHING AT NO CHARGE. USING THIS MODEL IN 2021 THROUGH OUR GIFTED WARDROBE PROGRAM, WE DISTRIBUTED OVER 12,500 ITEMS OF CLOTHING ITEMS AT NO CHARGE TO THOSE IN HARDSHIP IN OUR COMMUNITY.
OUR "ADOPT A FAMILY" HOLIDAY PROGRAM PROVIDES GIFTS FOR THE HOLIDAYS TO FAMILIES IN NEED IN HUNTERDON AND WARREN COUNTIES. MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, BUSINESSES, AND OTHER PARTNERS "ADOPT" PURCHASING PRESENTS FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES THAT COME TO OUR FOOD PANTRY. THIS IS A MONUMENTAL EFFORT FROM OUR VOLUNTEERS TO WORK WITH EACH FAMILY, AND COORDINATE GIFTS FOR THEM FROM THE COMMUNITY. IN 2021, THROUGH THE ADOPT A FAMILY HOLIDAY PROGRAM, $7,400 OF GIFT CARDS WERE PROVIDED TO LOCAL FAMILIES IN HARDSHIP, AND OVER 1,500 GIFTS WERE GIVEN AS WELL, ALL ITEMS PURCHASED BY THE COMMUNITY AND GIVEN TO THOSE STRUGGLING IN OUR COMMUNITY.
