THESE TAX FILINGS ARE SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION, GENERALLY FOR THREE YEARS AFTER THEY ARE FILED. Other PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: PART III, LINE 4C: SEAMAAC'S HUNGER RELIEF PROGRAM FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES: BY FEBRUARY 2020, IT BECAME VERY CLEAR TO SEAMAAC THAT COVID-19 WOULD BRING SERIOUS AND UNIQUE CHALLENGES TO SOCIALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY ISOLATED IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES. THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF SEAMAAC CLIENTS HAVE LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY, LIMITED ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY, AND LIMITED DIGITAL SKILLS. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A DIZZYING AMOUNT OF COVID-19 INFORMATION ONLINE, THESE RESOURCES ARE SIMPLY NOT ACCESSIBLE TO PHILADELPHIA'S MOST VULNERABLE FAMILIES. THE DIGITAL DIVIDE IS REAL: MANY SEAMAAC CLIENTS DO NOT HAVE A LAPTOP OR TABLET AT HOME, AND ARE NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO USE ONLINE RESOURCES ON A REGULAR BASIS - ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE ARE SO MUCH MISINFORMATION CIRCULATING. SEAMAAC WAS CONCERNED THAT THE LACK OF ACCESS TO COMMUNITY INFORMATION INCLUDING ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE FOOD WOULD BE DEVASTATING FOR SEAMAAC'S LOW-INCOME ELDERS WHO ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO COVID-19. Other SEAMAAC LAUNCHED A HUNGER RELIEF PROGRAM DURING THE WEEK MARCH 16, 2020 FOR LINGUISTICALLY AND SOCIALLY ISOLATED REFUGEE ELDERS AND OTHER VULNERABLE SEAMAAC CLIENTS, INCLUDING FAMILIES WHO ARE SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND MEDICAL CONDITIONS. WE HAVE A GROWN TO A TEAM OF 16 PROGRAM STAFF WITH A VOLUNTEER BASE OF OVER 330 INDIVIDUALS. OUR HUNGER RELIEF TEAM SAFELY DROPS OFF FREE GROCERIES AND OTHER CRUCIAL SUPPLIES AT THE DOORSTEPS OF OVER 125 CLIENTS PER WEEK. FOR FY23, WE HAVE DELIVERED 5,581 BAGS OF CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE AND NUTRITIOUS GROCERIES TO HOUSEHOLDS ACROSS THE PHILADELPHIA REGION. FROM GENEROUS DONATIONS FROM OUR COMMUNITY, WE HAVE INDEPENDENTLY SOURCED CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE FOOD STAPLES. WE ALSO WORK WITH CONSISTENT PARTNERS SUCH AS COMMON MARKET, SHARE FOOD AND CARING FOR FRIENDS TO FURTHER SOURCE NUTRITIOUS FOODS TO ENSURE THE COMMUNITIES' NEEDS ARE MET. Other SEAMAAC STEPPED UP TO SERVE AS A FOOD DISTRIBUTION SUPER SITE FOR THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA, SHARE FOOD AND PHILABUNDANCE ON MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS FROM 10 AM-12 PM WE DISTRIBUTED FREE BOXES OF GROCERIES TO FAMILIES. FOR FY23, WE HAVE DISTRIBUTED 35,480 BOXES OF PRODUCE AND SHELF-STABLE FOODS. THIS WAS DISTRIBUTED FROM SEAMAAC'S MAIN OFFICE, MIFFLIN SQUARE PARK, AND FRANCIS SCOTT KEY SCHOOL. Other SEAMAAC HAS ALSO JOINED FORCES WITH THE BROAD STREET MINISTRY, PROJECT HOME AND PREVENTION POINT TO PROVIDE DAILY PREPARED MEALS TO THOSE IN NEED IN SOUTH PHILADELPHIA. BASED OUT OF FRANCIS SCOTT KEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LOCATED AT 8TH STREET AND WOLF STREET, WE DISTRIBUTE 500 PREPARED MEALS MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, AND FRIDAY FROM 11:30AM TO 1:00PM. SEAMAAC IS WORKING WITH LOCAL FAMILY AND IMMIGRANT-OWNED RESTAURANTS TO SOURCE THESE MEALS. WE ARE PAYING MARKET PRICE FOR MEALS SO THAT THESE BUSINESSES CAN KEEP THEIR DOORS OPEN AND THEIR STAFF EMPLOYED, WITH MORE THAN $500,000 BEING PAID TO LOCAL, IMMIGRANT-OWNED RESTAURANTS SINCE THE PROGRAM'S INCEPTION. THIS ALSO HELPS THE CHAIN OF BUSINESSES THAT INCLUDES PRODUCE, MEAT AND OTHER RESTAURANT SUPPLY DISTRIBUTORS WHO ARE ALSO AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19 EMERGENCY. Other SEAMAAC CAME TO AN AGREEMENT WITH SOUTH PHILLY BARBACOA, A FAMILY AND IMMIGRANT-OWNED RESTAURANT, TO PARTNER TO PREPARE 200 HOT MEALS DAILY AND DISTRIBUTE TO SENIORS AND VULNERABLE FAMILIES IN SOUTH PHILADELPHIA. BEGINNING ON APRIL 20, 2020 AND ENDING ON JUNE 25, 2021 SEAMAAC AND SOUTH PHILLY BARBACOA PAID FOR THE CHEFS, KITCHEN STAFF AND ALL THE RAW INGREDIENTS AND SUPPLIES TO HELP IMMIGRANT WORKERS STAY EMPLOYED. WE OPENED OUR 8TH STREET SATELLITE OFFICE TO DISTRIBUTE THESE MEALS TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN THE EVENING TIME. FROM JULY 1, 2020 TO JUNE 30, 2021 WE DISTRIBUTED 56,913 PREPARED MEALS. Other THROUGH THE CRITICAL SUPPORT OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, OUR RETURNING VOLUNTEERS, THE CONSISTENT FLOW OF NEW VOLUNTEERS, AND OUR CORE STAFF, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SERVE OVER 4,000 PEOPLE WEEKLY ACROSS ALL PROGRAMMING. WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CREATE A SERIES OF END-TO-END COMMUNITY SERVICES, EXPANDING BEYOND FOOD DISTRIBUTION AT OUR KEY SCHOOL SITE TO INCLUDE PARTNERSHIPS WITH BOTH PHILADELPHIA FIGHT AND THE SOUTH PHILADELPHIA CHILDREN'S LIBRARY. FROM JULY 1, 2020 TO JUNE 30, 2021 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PHILADELPHIA FIGHT, SEAMAAC HAS BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE 2,256 FREE COVID-19 TESTS TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN SOUTHEAST PHILADELPHIA. STARTING IN APRIL 2021, WE PARTNERED WITH PHILADELPHIA FIGHT AND SUNRAY DRUGS TO DISTRIBUTE FREE COVID-19 VACCINES AT MIFFLIN SQUARE PARK AND BOK BUILDING. BECAUSE OF ACCESSIBILITY AND OUR TRUSTED RELATIONSHIP IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO VACCINATE 626 COMMUNITY MEMBERS. Other ON OCTOBER 12TH, SEAMAAC IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SHARE FOOD PROGRAM OPENED ONE THE LARGEST TEFAP (EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM) FOOD PANTRY IN SOUTHEAST PHILADELPHIA AT OUR MAIN OFFICE. FROM JULY 1, 2020 TO JUNE 30, 2021 WE HAVE SERVED 11,541 HOUSEHOLDS. AT SEAMAAC'S FOOD PANTRY, STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS ARE ABLE TO VERIFY GUESTS' NAME AND ADDRESS, WHICH HAS DETERRED INDIVIDUALS FROM THE SAME HOUSEHOLD FROM HOARDING. WE ARE ALSO ABLE TO OFFER GUESTS A CHOICE OF ITEMS TO REDUCE FOOD WASTE. WE HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OF OUR GUESTS ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH SOME OF THE SHELF-STABLE GOODS. ON MARCH 22, 2021, WE LAUNCHED A RECIPE PROGRAM WITH TRANSLATED RECIPES THAT CONTAIN VARIOUS INGREDIENTS FROM OUR PANTRY. Other PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: PART III, LINE 4D: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AIMS TO BUILD COMMUNITY CONNECTEDNESS, POWER, & PROSPERITY BY IMPROVING AND IMPLEMENTING THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT IN SOUTH PHILADELPHIA THROUGH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, STRENGTHENING BUSINESSES & SHOPPING ON 7TH STREET, CONNECTING TO ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES, PRESERVING AFFORDABLE HOUSING & ENSURING THAT CURRENT RESIDENTS ARE INTEGRAL IN THE DEVELOPMENT & BENEFIT FROM IT. THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT'S PROGRAMS BUILD LOCAL CAPACITY AND COMMUNITY STEWARDSHIP OF THE PUBLIC SPACES. THE PROGRAM STRIVES TO ESTABLISH A STRONG NEIGHBORHOOD COALITION WITH AN EMPHASIS ON SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESSES IN THE COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR TO STRENGTHEN THE NEIGHBORHOODS AS A DIVERSE, SAFE AND WELCOMING PLACE TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY. SINCE THE PANDEMIC AND SHUTDOWNS HIT, SEAMAAC STAFF WERE ABLE TO MITIGATE SOME OF THE IMPACT ON THE SMALL BUSINESSES ON THE SOUTH 7TH STREET COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR. MANY SMALL BUSINESSES WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO APPLY FOR FUNDING SUPPORT DUE TO LANGUAGE, TECHNOLOGY OR ORGANIZATION WITHOUT A LOT OF HELP FROM SEAMAAC.
