Overview

Mission

Provide meals to individuals who are unable to shop or cook for themselves due to age or disability

What it reported doing in 2025

Delivery of 21,848 meals by volunteers to 75 clients per month, who are unable to shop or cook for themselves due to age or disability.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
