I, (Executive Director) am the sole individual responsible for administrative, financial, and compliance functions while also overseeing and directly supporting core program operations. During the summer and early fall months, we faced an emergency food shortage that required immediate attention to ensure continuity of services for vulnerable seniors enrolled in the weekly meal delivery program. Staff and volunteer resources were redirected to food procurement, program coordination, and service delivery to meet urgent community needs. As a result of these circumstances, I was unable to complete the return by the original due date or extension deadline. We have since taken steps to complete and file the return promptly once operational stability was restored. This delay was not due to willful neglect, and we remain committed to full compliance with IRS filing requirements.
