Overview

Mission

To provide food and non-food items (personal care & daily living needs) to the benzie county, Michigan community

What it reported doing in 2025

The food pantry has continued to provide food and non-food items (personal care and daily livings needs) to benzie county residents using our modified user-friendly concept; clients who are in need due to fixed to low income, chronic hunger, unemployment or under-employed, or in an emergency situation. Our purpose continues to be to raise hunger awareness and to alleviate food insecurity in our community. In 2025, we served cumulative totals of 884 familes; 1841 residents (including 338 children, 956 seniors over 60 yrs of age and 76 veterans.) we distributed 41,779 pounds of food. We are a member of the northwest food coalition for 28 years. Total program expenses was $ 20,742.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
