• GROCERY STORE THE LAWNDALE GROCERY STORE ADVANCES NORTH LAWNDALE'S VISION FOR A HEALTHY AND VIBRANT COMMUNITY. NORTH LAWNDALE HAS NEEDED A FULL-SERVICE HIGH- QUALITY GROCER FOR DECADES. LACK OF ACCESS TO FRESH FOOD HAS WORSENED WITH THE RECENT CLOSURE OF WALGREENS ON ROOSEVELT AND HOMAN, WHERE MANY RESIDENTS, ESPECIALLY SENIORS, WERE PURCHASING THEIR GROCERIES. NLCCC HAS BEEN WORKING WITH OASIS, A BLACK-OWNED GROCERY OPERATOR WITH THE MISSION TO "ERADICATE FOOD DESERTS BY PROVIDING FRESH AND HEALTHY ACCESS TO ALL- AND A SUCCESSFUL STORE IN TULSA, OKLAHOMA, TO CREATE A LAWNDALE STORE THAT WILL INCLUDE FRESH MEAT AND PRODUCE, DELI ITEMS, A BAKERY, AND DRY GOODS. WE HAVE IDENTIFIED 3 POTENTIAL SITES ON ROOSEVELT ROAD AND ARE WORKING WITH THE LOCAL ALDERWOMAN TO ASSIST WITH LAND ASSEMBLY. NLCCC RECEIVED AN UPDATED MARKET STUDY FROM AWG IN SEPTEMBER 2024 TO PROVIDE SALES PROJECTIONS BASED UPON A FOOTPRINT OF 20,000-25,000 SF PER THE REQUEST OF OASIS. TO FINALIZE A SITE, WE ARE WORKING WITH THE CHICAGO TREND CORPORATION, A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE. WE BELIEVE THAT WE CAN DO A PROJECT OF THIS MAGNITUDE FOR BETWEEN 7.5-8.5 MILLION.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
