Overview
Mission
To relieve the cost burden of prescription medication and make a difference in our neighbor's life.
What it reported doing in 2025
Provided affordable and appropriate pharmacy services (prescription medicines, medication therapy management, health education, and necessary referral services to ensure optimal clinical outcomes) and coordinated access to healthcare for those living at or below 300% of the federal poverty level who are uninsured or under-insured. During the year, 1,751 patients were served, 101,851 prescriptions were dispensed, and 12,763 one-on-one consultations were provided. Additionally in 2025, the organization partnered with community partners to promote and generate referrals to grow the pharmacy, host pharmacy interns, and engaged volunteers to provide 5,332 hours of service.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 90% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
