Assistence includes, but is not limited to, the payment of rents, utilities, mortgages and other necessary expenses. Payent goes directly to the vendor, not the individual person or family. Provide direct payment to third party vendors for basic needs such as housing, utilities, insurance, vehicle repairs and medical exenses. These payments are made on behalf of our clients - the Needy living within the geographical boundaries of Corpus Christi Parish in East Sandwich MA. Clients contact us for help. We send 2 of our volunteers to their home to interview them and assess their needs. The actual payment of any request is determined by a vote of our Board of Directors. 79292 Each year we set aside funds to provide gifts for Needy families at Chrsitmas time. Any of the set aside money that is not used at Christmas goes to a program which then provides a 2 week camping experience for our clients' children in the summer. 11293 We have established a relationship with a local bank that allows it to grant low interest loans to people with insufficient, non-existing or bad credit. The bank grants the loan and we provide collateral for the loan through a savings account we have with the bank. Loans are granted only for purposes not covered by our committment ot provide help for food, clothing, housing and utilities. Most of the loans are granted to replace existing, predatory loans with unusally high interest rates with loans with stable 5 interest rates, allowing our Friend in Need to become financially in control of their life once again. During the fiscal year ending Sept 30, 2024, we collateralized an additional $11,111 and collected collected $10,441 from outstanding loans. 670 We maintain a food pantry that our Neighbors-in-Need can visit once a week. As we belong to the Greater Boston Food Bank, we are able to purchase food, both non-perishable and frozen, at an average cost of 8 cents per pound. By using our food pntry as a resource, our Neighbors-in-Need are better able to feed their families as well as conserve monetary resources which can then be used by the to pay their basic necessities such as rent and utitites. During the fiscal year ending Sept 30, 2024, we started a program whereby we gave our Neighbors in Need a new crockpot, bundle of spices and recipes in order to encuragethem to use our food pantry at least once a month. This program increased use of our food pantry by more than 70% during this fiscal year. 17013 108268 Patrick Devine President 8.00 0 Jean Kopil Vice President 8.00 0 Elaine Whelden Secretary 4.00 0 Judith Coleman Treasurer 6.00 0 Margaret Dutch Director 2.00 0 Peter Donahue Director 6.00 0 Patricia Fielding Director 3.00 0 Elizabeth Davidson Director 4.00 0 Michael Buckley Director 0 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false Judith Coleman 1 Ridgetop Road PO Box 645 Forestdale MA 02644 5084727818 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 48853 65015 81597 70614 129405 395484 0 0 48853 65015 81597 70614 129405 395484 0 395484 65 135 123 210 2206 2739 0 0 398223 0.99310 0.99820 X Grants and Similar Amounts Paid In Excess of $5,000.1 | Cash Amount Given: $108268 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $472 Other Expenses.1007 Conferences, Conventions, and Meetings $60 Other Expenses.1 Domestic Twinning $303 Other Expenses.2 Dues to National $214
