Overview

Mission

Ag against hunger partners with local growers, shippers and processors to help alleviate hunger and combat food waste by channeling surplus produce to food banks and food assistance programs.

What it reported doing in 2019

Produce recovery - receives surplus produce from over 50 growers, shippers and processors and channels it to local food banks, food assistance and school programs in our tri-county area.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
