The BFC intends to carry out its mission primarily through 4 activities: 1) education of the public about various aspects of maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle and the importance of local, sustainable agriculture; 2) dissemination of information through a website and a periodic newsletter relating to healthy eating and lifestyles; 3) operation of a community farmers' market; and 4) providing assistance to individuals in need. Belmont Farmers' Market: Coordinate a venue to provide access to local fresh food at an open air market held weekly from June through October. 0 2774 Food Assistance: Includes matched SNAP vouchers and matched FNMP coupons, food purchases for Belmont families in need, and donations to local non-profits that provide food assistance to families in need. 0 76361 There were 3 educational programs: On-line cooking class utilizing Zoom software, on-site educational gardening programs at community gardens, and POP Club at the weekly market. POP Club (power of produce) is a program for children aged 5-12. Every week that a child came to the market they were given three dollars in POP Club "money" to shop for fruits and vegetables, and the market reimbursed vendors for their POP Club sales. 0 4339 83474 Suzanne Johannet President 5 0 0 0 Anne Stuart Clerk 5 0 0 0 Anne Lougee Treasurer 5 0 0 0 Mireia Carpio Employee 12.5 19814 0 0 Joanne Weston Employee 6 828 0 0 Heli Tomford Founding President 5 0 0 0 Jenny Brown Director 5 0 0 0 Amy Kirsch Director 5 0 0 0 Fiona McCubbin Director 5 0 0 0 Cate McGrail Director 5 0 0 0 Paul Santos Director 5 0 0 0 Hal Shubin Director 5 0 0 0 Joan Teebagy Director 5 0 0 0 Shana Wang Director 5 0 0 0 Julie Wu Director 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MA Anne Lougee 34 Warwick Road Belmont MA 02478 6174894569 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 28860 40395 54460 55427 66554 245696 17094 15615 21856 47310 48196 150071 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 45954 56010 76316 102737 114750 395767 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 395767 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 45954 56010 76316 102737 114750 395767 1 1 0 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Direct distribution of food, restaurant and grocery store certificates to Belmont low-income families in need ($20,923); and matching funds for SNAP vouchers and FMNP coupons ($55,437).
