What it reported doing in 2024

Asian community outreach food box distribution program. New for 2020, this program replaced the organization's previous mobile food pantry distribution program. The program provides boxes of nonperishable pantry staples commonly used in asian cooking to vulnerable individuals (e.g., the elderly, the disabled, individuals with higher risk of serious illness from covid-19) and struggling households (e.g., low-income households) in the asian community in kent county. Food box items include staples such as rice, cooking oil, dried noodles, seasoning sauces, coffee, tea, among others. Past boxes have also included medicinal ointment and covid-19 care kits with kn95 masks, cloth face masks, sanitizer and thermometers. Aco purchases items from a local asian-owned small business. Covid-19 care kits are supplied by the kent county health department. The organization also provides delivery of boxes to individuals who lack transportation.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
