Overview

Mission

The organization is dedicated to providing food assistance and meal services to individuals and families facing food insecurity in our local community. Our mission is to fight hunger by offering nutritious meals and food-based services to our neighbors in the worcester area.

What it reported doing in 2024

To provide meals to the indigenous local community as well as space for other local groups to gather for food-centric activities (i.e. Homeless meals services, low cost takeaway meals for lower income neighbors, senior gatherings with meals).

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. 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.
