Reporting

*** Please remember that monthly data submission are required from all agencies every month. Even if your agency only places an order once a quarter, we still ask that you submit your data each month.

To remain in good standing with your membership, all food pantries are required to submit their monthly report by the 5th day of the following month.

Timely reporting is required for grant participation. Repeated late reporting may result in grant holds and could jeopardize the agency’s Long Island Cares membership.

Reporting Instructions

FOR FOOD PANTRIES ONLY

• COUNT each person in the household who received food, even if only one person came to the pantry.
• COUNT every person each time they received food from your food pantry.

FOR SOUP KITCHENS AND ON-SITE MEAL PROGRAMS ONLY

• COUNT each person served a meal at each mealtime. For example, if a person is served breakfast and lunch at your site in the same day, count this as two persons served.
• COUNT persons returning for “seconds” at a single mealtime as one person served.
