Overview
Mission
Community Food Share's mission is to lead the fight against hunger in Boulder and Broomfield counties by providing access to nutritious food through community partnerships and innovative programs.
What it reported doing in 2024
Food banking operations: community food share distributed 12.9 million pounds of food this year, excluding purchased food, through a network of more than 40 partner agencies who provide meals and groceries, and through our community distribution programs that feed low-income families and seniors. We focus on nutritious foods like fresh produce, protein and dairy. Food is distributed with safety and quality as top priorities. The food we provide helps families avoid tough choices like paying for food or covering expenses for housing, healthcare, or utilities. Volunteers are a vital part of everything we do, contributing the equivalent of 16 full time employees. Community food share is proud to be recognized as a four-star charity by charity navigator, america's premier independent charity evaluator.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 93% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
