Overview

Mission

Charitable- We exist to help other local non-profits and our local community

What it reported doing in 2024

Our relationship within the community has allowed us to find more volunteer support for the store and attract many more returning customers. The donations received from the community have increased significantly granting the store to donate the over-flow to 3 other non-profits in the local area in 2024. Due to the committed support and donations, it was determined with a bigger retail space, the store could increase it's profits to help self sustain the store. The store remains in the same shopping center but moved into a much larger retail space. Allowing for more items donated and sold. The increased rent and issues with the increased repairs and costs for utlities impacted our break even analysis. In order to plan for break even, we had to reduce benefits until the store becomes again, self sustaining.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
