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 food pantries as that is where the biggest needs are and that is 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 X 3000 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 taht we have available for free for the kids in addition to programs that we sponsor. 0 X 2500 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 . We usually have 45-55 children 0 X 4200 9700 Gregory Bartek President 1 0 0 0 Dermott Larkin Treasurer 3 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 115656 33089 27530 54653 5259 236187 115656 33089 27530 54653 5259 236187 236187 5250 4349 4620 39 111 14369 250556 0.94265 0.958 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Donation to Family In need medical emergency;1000|Attleboro Booster Club Donation to Varsity Night;1000|Attleboro recreation Summer and front Desk assist;2400|Girls Softball donation for dugout;250|Lifeguard program to pay for certification;1500|Family assistance after a fire;1000|Kidz 4th of July cookout;400|Kidz Halloween Party;500|Misc Summer Pool and rec programs;750|Turkey Give Away Program;3000|Rec center Field Trips Summer Programs;2500|Holiday Spirit Christmas;4200|MGA Links Golf For Kids Outing;1417|Attleboro Grid Iron Club Donation;1000|Gift Card Xmas;500|Rec Center Fall Programs;1500^Total;22917^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 The value in our Charles Schwabb Account increased approx $8079.00 since last year Schedule B, Part I There were no contributions of $5,000 or more.
