Overview
Mission
Clackamas service center is an inclusive, "one-stop" community center for individuals and families seeking food relief and resources for improved health, dignity, and stability.
What it reported doing in 2024
Community nutrition program csc offers a hybrid delivery/community-based approach that offers home delivery of customized, culturally relevant, kid-friendly grocery boxes and pop-up events at schools and other locations with high populations of low-income families. We also offer groceries and serve hot, prepared meals at the csc campus four days a week. Additionally, through our food hub, an 8,000-square-foot warehouse in north clackamas, we share food with 20 other small and mid-sized organizations. Between all our food distribution efforts, csc shares an average of 110,000 pounds of food monthly with approximately 6,000-10,000 people each month. This marks a dramatic increase from pre-food hub figures of approximately 2,000 people served each month.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 73% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
