Overview
Mission
The organization operates congregate and home delivered meal programs in suburban cook, grundy, will and kendall counties under contracts and grants with age option and ageguide (formerly northeastern Illinois area agency on aging(neil)). It is an older americans act, title iii nutrition service program. The programs provide eligible persons with nutritious meals in a congregate setting or delivered to the home, appropriate nutrition information and other services.
What it reported doing in 2024
Home delivered meals - the home-delivered meals program delivers dietitian-approved meals to homebound and often food-insecure older adults, prioritizing outreach to older adults whose independence and health are most at risk. Delivery drivers perform wellness checks and foster social connections in suburban cook, will, kendall, and grundy counties.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 82% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some related-organization disclosures are missing and expenses are high relative to revenue.
