Overview

Mission

Altruist Relief Kitchen conducts sustainable crisis response and community development projects for those in need.

What it reported doing in 2024

ARK served 48.7 metric tons of fresh hot food in Lviv, Ukraine, for people fleeing war. That is between 97,400 and 194,800 meals. We cooked the food on wood fired stoves in a giant off grid tent, and delivered it to shelters and distribution points around the city.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
