Overview

Mission

To provide chronically hungry children in local elementary schools and Salvation Army After School Program with food to take home over the weekend. These children qualify for the federal Free and Reduced Price Meal Program and have little to no food on the weekends. Each week during the school year backpacks are stocked with nutritious child-friendly and easy-to-prepare food. These bags are packed by volunteers and delivered to the children in school to take home for the weekend.

What it reported doing in 2024

Weekly volunteers pack backpacks for the children at 2 local elementary schools and the Salvation Army after school program. These backpacks are delivered on Friday mornings to the students. We are packaging about 500 backpacks a week.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
