Overview

Mission

Blessings and Beyond exists to bring love and support to people in need through community meals, essential items, and innovative solutions like R|R Smart Lockers.

What it reported doing in 2024

From 2023 through 2025 we provided over 500,000 meals for the largest shelter in spokane and recently finished providing meals for the citys navigation center and shelter. As part of our existing and expanded mission, also known as the blessed program, where we provide specially made blessed bags and boxes that are filled for a variety of groups; schools, agencies, programs, other nonprofits, and special events with essentials such as food, hygiene supplies, domestic violence, survivor kits, school supplies, household and seasonal items and requests. The organization provided over 85,000 of support during 2024.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 81% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 88% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
