Overview

Mission

To provide nutritional assistance to the children of sullivan county, Indiana in an effort to improve the quality of life and environment of the children.

What it reported doing in 2024

The brown bagger school food program is providing hungry children with nutritious and easy to prepare food to take home on weekends and vacations when other sources are not available. We utilize the knowledge and insight of teachers, administrators, and school staff who are in direct contact with children who can benefit from our services. Volunteers collect food donations and money to purchase from local retailers. Volunteers deliver the bags weekly to famililes or to schools for staff to discreetly distribute.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue.
