We try to meet as many need as we can , and that includes food programs - recreation programs , and we try to help families copying with recent serious events - fires , death in the family etc. There are 4 of us - all volunteers that try to raise money for these causes. Lately , our primary focus is on the rec center programs and holiday funds for families and children in need. We also support local food pantries where there are extreme shortages in our area. We started out years ago with a focus on recreation programs for area kids that could not afford them. Our thanksgiving turkey program is one of our annual programs , we buy Turkeys for 25 - 30 families and give those away with grocery store gift cards ($25 -$50) This is need based, and we work with the City's rec department to determine the families that will get these . This is our most popular program , and we have been doing this for years. 0 1350 We work with the rec dept each year and we sponsor field trips and summer programs . This is - again - need based, and is for families and kids that can not afford to participate otherwise. We do this every year and it benefits at least 30 children . We also have childrens museum passes that we have available for free for the kids in addition to programs that we sponsor. We also help staff the rec for summer programs 0 11198 Our Christmas & Holiday program which we do every year is done in coordination with a couple of other similar holiday programs with other organizations - Christmas is For kids & Holiday Spirit. We organize a Christmas party with Santa, and we have gifts and food - pizza etc - all free to the kids (45-50 kids) . Our Holiday Spirit program also assists local familes at Xmas - need based. We also have a halloween party and treat giveaway . 0 6400 18948 Gregory Bartek President 1 0 0 0 Dermott Larkin Treasurer 1 0 0 0 Lynn Mendes Clerk 1 0 0 0 John Bement Vice Pres 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MA Dermott Larkin 1505 Park Street Attleboro MA 02703 5089824429 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 33089 27530 54653 5259 13245 133776 33089 27530 54653 5259 13245 133776 133776 4349 4620 39 111 86 9205 142981 0 0.93562 0.94265 X Schedule A, Part I, Line 7 We are 100% supported by public donations - and 200% volunteer Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Our expenditures and expenses were $1,000 for an AEDS Heart Defib for one of our fields, $11,198 to support the Rec Center for field trips , summer programs , and temp summer help. $3450 in misc donation to local programs & charities - food pantry etc , $4296 for to assist local families in need at Xmas, and to have a Xmas for the kids, $2105 for a Halloween party & treat giveaway for the area children ,$1347.78 for ThanksGiving meals to local families - need based. We have been trying unsuccessfully to get an accountant to help file these tax forms for us - but no one seems to want to help with a small local non profit such as ourselves so we are trying our best to keep up with this . Out time is taken up with the good work we are doing locally. We are 100% volunteer - no one is paid or reimbursed for their time , so we are hopeful that our tardiness can be excused. We are determined to have these taxes done on time going forward as we continue to try to find local professional help to assist us. Any consideration would be appreciated.
