Overview

Mission

CAP is a non-profit that operates a food pantry, serving the Severn, Odenton, Hanover, and Gambrills communities. In 2025, CAP supported 2,225 household units (including repeats) and 7,181 individuals (including repeats). CAP serves the neediest and most vulnerable populations in its area. It also assists clients from three senior subsidized-housing complexes in Odenton, as well as transient/homeless individuals. Clients are served primarily non-perishable staples such as canned fruits and vegetables, soup, pasta, et. al. These are supplemented with frozen meats, fresh bread, and desserts. Each client is provided a voucher that allows them to purchase fresh meat and dairy items at a local supermarket. The food pantry and the food vouchers provide healthy food options to clients. Approximately 52% of the persons served by CAP are under 18 or 65 and older. CAP clients include all races/ethnicities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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.

The verdict

MIXED - 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.
