Neighborhood settings are familiar and reduce the stigma often associated with asking for help. Wayside prepares meals at a central kitchen, shared with Portland Public Schools. The meals improve current conditions by supporting healthy eating habits and reducing food insecurity. Over time, these programs decrease risks for chronic diseases and reduce the financial burden of conditions like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease upon the community.Wayside's Food Rescue Program provides food to pantries, soup kitchens, and service agencies in Cumberland County. In 2023, Food Rescue distributed approximately 2,184,000 lbs of food through partner agencies. Wayside's Community Garden Program partners with a Portland Housing Authority site for low-income seniors & disabled adults to facilitate garden workshops and built garden beds, a compost bin, and a cold frame. A lawn donated by a South Portland homeowner became a vegetable garden for the Community Meals and Mobile Food Pantries.The Cupboard Collective Lakes Region Food Transportation Service was designed to increase accessibility of healthy food in communities outside Greater Portland. Wayside makes bimonthly deliveries of rescued food, T.E.F.A.P. food & food from Good Shepherd Food Bank to pantries in Bridgton, Naples and Casco. 864031 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 13 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 X X Mary Zwolinski 2077754939 PO Box 1278 Portland ME 04104 John S Leeming President 4.00 X X 0 0 0 David Hamilton Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert J Ayotte Treasurer 6.00 X X 0 0 0 Marina Chakmakchi Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Ayers Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Emily IW Kain Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Laurie Mitchell Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Michelle LaFond Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Dena Libner Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 John Romano Board Member 6.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Schilling Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Ryan Ranger Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Frederick Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Zwolinski Executive Director 30.00 X 78757 0 13754 78757 0 13754 0 0 0 0 0 6537 87800 682329 776666 Program Fees 900099 156450 156450 156450 57410 57410 7714 0 7714 7714 7714 19839 13000 0 0 19839 13000 32839 32839 Miscellaneous 900099 532 532 532 1031611 156982 0 97963 78757 66499 7399 4859 405540 342423 38097 25020 70971 53228 14194 3549 37948 28461 7689 1798 11005 11005 25349 1851 426 23072 23969 23969 81086 60815 16217 4054 4859 4859 29340 29340 23192 22196 996 Food Supplies 128326 128326 Warehouse 74216 74216 Auto Expense 34226 34226 Equipment Rental & Main 10959 10959 17151 6632 10519 1056894 864031 130511 62352 264658 331295 27911 28036 266044 173093 305053 230936 98562 74117 1354297 1556186 262359 288576 2273831 2451303 46835 19431 199950 266290 296499 313125 515880 X 1960706 1843747 91676 1960706 1935423 2273831 2451303 -25283 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 661368 952422 905165 787879 776666 4083500 661368 952422 905165 787879 776666 4083500 615313 3468187 12502 7815 6933 -4649 65124 87725 4171225 0.83150 0.86300 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 0 199950 0 199950 1 X 67399 59784 7615 215459 150068 65391 22195 21084 1111 74117 Right of Use Asset 288576 288576 Lease Liability 296499 296499 X 1031611 0 1031611 0 1031611 1056894 0 1056894 0 1056894 Part IV, Line 1b: The Organization is a fiscal agent for Maine Farm and Sea Cooperative.
