Working in close collaboration with local governments, Emergency Managers, and grassroots partners, the organization operated multiple distribution sites and coordinated the receipt and delivery of essential donated goods. During the year, the organization received and distributed five major noncash donations with a total fair market value of $11,497,820, including bottled water, personal protective equipment, hand sanitizer, household cleaning products, and laundry supplies. These resources were delivered to community partners, shelters, health departments, schools, senior facilities, and other agencies serving populations with the greatest need. The organization also deepened its partnerships with AME and AMEZ churches, NAACP county chapters, LGBTQIA+ organizations, barbershops, farmworker groups, veterans groups, and local government agencies. Through these relationships, the organization ensured that essential goods reached frontline communities, low-income households, older adults in senior housing, and residents of rural and underserved areas throughout the state. 11497820 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false true 0 0 0 false false false false false false X 4 4 false false false false false false false true false false true true false false false false false false false true NC X Jil Christensen 9193603864 PO BOX 4154 Chapel Hill NC 27514 X Charul Haugan BOARD MEMBER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 James Buxton BOARD MEMBER VICE CHAIR 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Courtney Patterson BOARD MEMBER CHAIRMAN 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jil Christensen PRESIDENT/CEO 40.00 40.00 X 0 0 0 Wanda Hunter BOARD MEMBER TREASURER 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 11498846 11496821 11498846 11498846 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 436 87 305 44 380 190 152 38 2700 2430 135 135 1074 661 248 165 490 490 In-kind goods distributed to beneficiaries 11496699 11496699 679 679 11502458 11501236 840 382 3870 458 3870 458 200 0 200 X 3870 258 3870 258 3870 458 -3612 X false false X 0 7833151 8936498 11498846 28268495 0 0 7833151 8936498 11498846 28268495 28268495 28268495 X 1.00000 0.14940 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X 304528 Market Value X 1 5480 Market Value X 2 11186813 Market Value false false Part IX, Line 24a Amount represents donated noncash goods (food, PPE, sanitizer, cleaning supplies, and household products) distributed to beneficiaries as part of the organizations disaster relief activities.

Our contact info is available on our website https://dayonerelief.org Part VI, Line 1a In 2023, we continued large-scale distribution sites in collaboration with local governments and Emergency Managers across North Carolina. These sites facilitated the delivery of multiple semi-truckload donations, providing critical resources to our community partners and the regions served by these efforts. We continued to partner with various organizations to launch vaccine equity initiatives, educating frontline communities about COVID-19 vaccines while distributing COVID-19 supplies, food, and other essential resources. We continued our "Get Out the Vaccine" phone bank to inform community members about available vaccination sites. Key partnerships included Local Governments, African Methodist Episcopal (AME and AMEZ) churches, barber shops, LGBTQIA+ organizations, veteran organizations, and NAACP County Presidents. Our organization also facilitated supply chains for vaccines and essential supplies to elderly populations in low-income housing and nursing homes. Additionally, we supported schools, health departments, fire departments, police departments, and EMS by providing the necessary COVID-19 supplies to ensure continued operations. In 2021, Day One Relief separated from its fiscal sponsor, requiring us to rebuild financially in the middle of ongoing COVID-19 relief efforts and storm-related support in eastern North Carolina. Despite this setback, we scaled our operations to meet rising community needs, often operating with only one or two staff managing large-scale logistics and distributions. During the height of the pandemic, our team regularly worked extended hours to ensure essential supplies reached affected communities. From 2021 to 2023, we continued distributing significantly more goods than originally anticipated, though limited staffing, expertise, and financial resources delayed administrative work associated with rapid growth. Our 501(c)(3) status was officially approved on November 3, 2023, with an Effective Date of Exemption retroactive to February 11, 2021. This retroactive approval enables us to complete outstanding filings and remain compliant as we continue serving frontline communities.
