“What YCP is doing is truly amazing. It was incredibly rewarding to work in an environment where you understood the near-term impact you were having on so many families. I wish there were more organizations like YCP out there.”

Yorkville Common Pantry 2011 Annual Report

MISSION STATEMENT

Yorkville Common Pantry is dedicated to reducing hunger while promoting dignity and self-sufficiency. YCP champions the cause of the hungry through food pantry and meal distribution programs, nutrition education, basic hygiene services, homeless sup- port, and related services. YCP’s community-based programs focus on East Harlem and other underserved communities throughout City.

YCP is grateful for our ongoing relationship with our 19 sponsoring organizations that not only provide volunteers, Board members, funds, food and other donations, but further infuse our work with profound meaning and reward. We consider these organiza- tions to be caring members of the extended YCP family, and feel very fortunate to have their dedication and involvement.

Hess It’s Not Just Food YCP changes lives. Our clients come for free food, but leave with much more. They may enjoy a hot shower or discover they qualify for income assistance or learn about the nutrition in a fresh cabbage or access legal advice. Our staff works tirelessly serving clients with dignity and find their own lives illuminated with purpose. Our volunteers experience meaningful direct work and the joy of giving. Together we are all changed.

Yorkville Common Pantry Annual Report 2011 1 LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Children deserve better. Perhaps the most significant and heartbreaking indicator of the economic downturn and ongoing struggle is the rise in children needing YCP’s services. Our social service and pantry programs saw a combined increase of almost 1,000 new children coming to YCP during the year. Families enrolled in record numbers to learn how to stretch their food dollars in our nutrition education program. More children than ever before came to these classes –1,550 more visits, an increase of 47%.

Children living in poverty deserve better than a starchy meal and a referral to another social service organization. That’s why at YCP we provide healthy pantry packages, as well as a nutritionally balanced hot meal 8 times throughout the week. Learning how to cook and prepare fresh food is something parent and child enjoy, and that is why we saw a 39% increase in parent participation this year. All told, 5,521 participants learned how to prepare the carrots, corn, eggplant, kale and other fruit and vegetables they choose in our newly modeled choice pantry.

Choice is not only something we allow pantry families to have when they pick up their food packages, it is something that we facilitate by providing access to resources through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), tax completion and filing assistance, and application for other benefits. Through direct work, and the work of partners on-site, approximately $3.5 million was accessed for our clients last year in addition to close to 1.9 million meals. That too is choice—the ability to have more resources to spend to keep your family housed, your lights on, and other bills paid facilitates other less pressing needs, like learning, activities and time spent with family.

Thank you for your support.

Stephen Grimaldi

2 Yorkville Common Pantry Annual Report 2011 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

As I complete my first year as Chair of the Yorkville Common Pantry, I have a new level of understanding and appreciation for this wonderful organization. In the last year YCP has met new challenges and brought in new benefits to its clients, but it has managed to retain a remarkable culture of quiet goodness, of generosity of spirit achieved through steady work. We accomplish so much with so little, carrying on despite news of government cutbacks, market swings, and crushing poverty and inequality. I am conscious of the need for more individual support and proud of the gains we have made.

For myself, as much as I have learned by my work on the Board, it is still my weekly regular volunteering that brings me the real joy. I revel in being part of a uniquely diverse cadre of volunteers. I enjoy meeting new people each week who come as part of a student or corporate or religious volunteer group. I re- joice in seeing a client greeted by name, and reacting with joy that she is treated as a person, not a number. I love seeing the quality and volume of fresh produce we now distribute. I delight in being part of a team that accomplishes its work through the dedication of a small staff and the labor of an army of volunteers, regulars and one-timers, New Yorkers, and out of towners, old and young. You are part of us too! Come in and work to share the happiness it will bring you.

Wendy A. Stein

4 Yorkville Common Pantry Annual Report 2011 YCP Programs that address these needs

Food Pantry Program Every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, YCP’s Food Pantry Program, New York City’s largest community-based food pantry, allows its thousands of participants to choose culturally appropriate, nutritionally balanced food packages. YCP’s Pantry program serves all five boroughs of New York City. In 2011, the program became a client ‘Choice Pantry’, meaning Pantry members now have the option of choosing the food items they would like to receive in their Pantry package. Pantry members can now access each week’s menu and place their order in advance via YCP’s website or place their order when they visit YCP. Pantry members that choose to place their orders onsite do so by using wireless touch-screen tablets that transmit the order to the Pantry room, allowing volunteers to pack each bag according to each Pantry member’s specifications with selections in each of the major food groups. Food packages can include items such as unsweetened fruit juice, sugar-free cereal, 1% or skim shelf-stable milk, pasta, rice, low-sodium or no sodium canned vegetables, a diverse variety of fresh produce, bread and frozen meat. Each family member receives three meals for four days. In FY 11, YCP’s Pantry programs provided food assistance to 7,001 distinct families, who visited YCP 66,081 times in the course of the year. There was a 6.3% increase in the percentage of children served in YCP’s pantry program in FY 11 vs. FY10.

Yorkville Common Pantry Annual Report 2011 5 365 YCP This program is open 365 days a year to all Pantry members and provides screening by case managers to check for sufficient family income and re- sources. In addition to screening, 365 YCP staff assists with acquiring ben- efits and entitlements such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or make employment refer- rals; and provide assistance with accessing the other appropriate resources to prevent families from being evicted from their homes. Through a unique collaboration with NYC Human Resources Administration (HRA), 365 YCP staff directly process SNAP and Medicaid applications for families on-site. In addition, 365 YCP provides ready-to-eat brown bag meals on days that the Hot Meal Program does not serve.

$3,475,477 was accessed in new benefits and tax returns for Pantry members, more than double the previous year

Client Story: Grace* was preparing for retirement before she lost her job and came to YCP to receive pantry and baby packages, complete with wipes, diapers, and food, for the two young great-grandsons in her care. In September 2010, YCP assisted Grace in filling out paperwork to become a foster parent. Starting in December, Grace began receiving financial assistance for her family. Grace filed her taxes at YCP and continues to receive pantry and baby packages.

6 Yorkville Common Pantry Annual Report 2011 Project Dignity Project Dignity provides case management services to homeless individuals. Case Managers offer counseling and referral services, access to benefits and entitlements, substance abuse treatment, and other medical and social services. Project Dignity’s array of services is also designed to meet the most basic needs of YCP’s clients— food, haircuts, mail service, laundry—as well as the larger, more challenging issues they face—long-term housing, health care, benefits and job training. The overall goal of the Program is to serve as a bridge back to health, well-being and self-sufficiency for our homeless and hungry clients. In FY 11, Project Dignity provided assistance to 357 distinct individuals.

“The greatest feeling one can give is to give of yourself. Participating in the dinner service at Yorkville Common Pantry was enriching and very fulfilling.” Clarence Plummer, Volunteer from ING Financial Services.

Hot Meal Program This program serves breakfast Monday through Friday and hot dinner on Mon- days, Wednesdays, and Fridays. All meals are cooked on premises and our staff cooks prepare hearty balanced meals with wholesome ingredients. Beyond providing nutritious food, the program offers participants a chance to sit, eat, and socialize in a relaxing, safe, friendly atmosphere that offers a retreat from the stressors of being homeless or living in poverty. Additionally, we partner with other organizations to provide a range of medical screenings and legal assis- tance during meal programs. In FY 11, a total of 81,454 meals were provided through the Hot Meal Program, a 7% increase from FY 10.
