Mission and programs · 2024

• Get Fresh and Food Recovery Programs In 2010, TOUCH led the Get Fresh initiative to recover and distribute food from the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York (RFBNNY). Since the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated food insecurity in March 2020, TOUCH has taken the lead in significantly increasing the amount of food distributed through Get Fresh.This program emphasizes distributing fresh produce to help support the nutritional needs of our chronic illness members as well as others facing food insecurity. TOUCH is the founding member and lead agency for the, Rockland Community Against Hunger (RCAH). The RCAH community collaborative has established linkages with over forty other food pantries and feeding programs in Rockland County that can now provide more fresh food to their clients. The Get Fresh Program provides a large amount of food to other pantries. A notable outcome has been that other pantries have started to provide healthier food items in general to their clients as a greater understanding of nutrition and health outcomes develops in our community.In 2018, we expanded Get Fresh to include a Food Recovery Program whereby we recover food from additional sources such as supermarkets, bakeries, farms and farmers markets. During the year ended February 28, 2025, TOUCH was given a combined total of 1,692,592 pounds of food. RFBNNY values this food at $1.90 per pound. Therefore, the total value of in-kind Food for the year ended February 28, 2025, was $3.217,078. For the year ended February 28, 2025, of the 1,692,592 pounds of food received, TOUCH distributed 1,550,695 pounds to local food pantries and feeding programs and kept 141,897 pounds to distribute from our in-house pantry.

  Expenses $3,403,330

• Nutrition Program ServicesThe food and Nutrition Program comprehensively addresses the unique needs of people living with chronic health conditions. The program adheres to Food as Medicine principals and follows the Medical Nutrition Therapy model. The program includes a Registered Dietitian who understands chronic health conditions and the causes and effects of medical intervention with regards to nutritional needs to improve health outcomes. TOUCHs Nutrition Program provides nutritional counseling, linkage to primary care, weekly food provided either through our client choice food pantry, or via home delivered pantry packages of perishable (fresh and frozen) and non-perishable grocery items. In addition, a monthly grocery store voucher is provided following guidelines from the Registered Dietitian.

  Expenses $735,577

• Pharmacy 340B ProgramThe 340B Drug Discount Program was established in 1992 under the Federal Public Health Services Act. The Act requires drug manufacturers to provide outpatient drugs to eligible health care organizations and covered entities at significantly reduced prices. The program passes along savings from reduced drug prices to covered entities to allow them to stretch scarce federal resources as far as possible, reaching more eligible patients and providing additional needed services. TOUCH has been registered as a covered entity with HRSA since 2018. In this capacity, eligible TOUCH clients may enroll in this program at a participating pharmacy that has an agreement with TOUCH. Designated prescriptions are filled by registered pharmacies on behalf of TOUCH clients. The Pharmacy then sends detailed reconciliation information about each clients prescriptions to TOUCH on a monthly basis along with the associated revenue to cover these drugs. In turn, TOUCH, verifies the information, pays the associated drug company(ies), monitors adherence to the prescribed medications and provides additional services to people living with HIV.

  Expenses $508,278

• Case Management Program This program provides Medical Case Management services to members/clients and family members assisting them in navigating the system of health care and public benefits. This may include help in arranging doctor appointments, family permanency planning and medication compliance. In addition, these services include disease and treatment assessment and adherence education, service planning and care coordination, and linkages to referral services for primary care, benefits and other services such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, substance use / abuse treatment, legal services and mental health counseling. Responding to the needs of the community, TOUCH also conducts Support and Education Groups as part of the Nutrition and Case Management Programs. These groups offer education and discussion on topics such as chronic illness, nutrition, wellness and prevention.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
