Overview

Mission

We are a charitable organization that provides support for community building and community education. We also distribute direct aid like free groceries.

What it reported doing in 2025

Peoples Grocery benfits about 3000 per year with free groceries and personal itens

Operating model

Revenue model: Earned-program. 95% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
