Overview

Mission

Food Pantry provider, Food Rescue/Waste recovery

What it reported doing in 2025

Kept over 200,000 lbs of food out of landfills by accepting donations from companies and feeding hungry people, giving to other food pantries and homestead farmers

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filed totals do not add up.
