Food for Troops Program: provided daily meals 600 to 700 lunches and dinners per day during the month of January 2021 to the National Guard troops Airmen and Soldiers who were deployed to our nation's capital for the protection of the 2021 Presidential Inauguration. In addition to the daily meals we provided toiletries socks hand warmers gloves snacks protein drinks Gatorade and other items. over 21,000 service members were deployed instantly to the capitol and our organization was proud to have been invited by the DC National Guard and only two other organizations the Wounded Warrior Project and the USO to provide for their immediate needs. Organizations like ours can activate more quickly than the military in providing immediate assistance. We purchased and delivered hot meals from Chick-fil-A Heavenly Ham Mission BBQ Hello Hospitality and other local stores and restaurants. Our volunteers worked every day and well into the evenings to keep the momentum of delivering food to our service members. most of our volunteers were off-duty US Marines from Marine Barracks Washington. In addition to the food we kept a running supply of warm socks hand warmers and other needed or requested items. We are proud to have had such an amazing impact on the lives of our service members and US Army General William J. Walker gave us the Seven Seals Award for our commitment and dedication. 129563 129563 Homeless and Elderly Veterans Outreach Program: Provides monthly deliveries of food toiletries clothing and other essentials to homeless veterans through our partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs in Washington DC.

When COVID hit our organization was called upon to support the National Guardsmen Airmen and Soldiers deployed to the nation's Capitol in January 2021. We must apologize for being very tardy in submitting our filings. However many of us use our money to help support the organization and when we began searching for accountants they were costly. It wasn't until we realized we were two years behind that we searched again for a way to be assured that the filings we submitted were accurate. We went to several of the IRS-approved filers and finally found Tax990 which has and continues to help us become current in our filings. We are vigilant now in ensuring that all forms and filings are met on time and accurately. Again we truly apologize.
