Overview

Mission

The community resource center's mission is to provide critical essential items to our most vulnerable middle Tennessee neighbors, both during times of disaster and during seasons of ongoing need.

What it reported doing in 2024

Two in five individuals in middle Tennessee struggles with hygiene insecurity. Community resource center ("crc") combats this struggle by providing basic essentials each month for more than 350 nonprofit agencies in middle Tennessee. Crc distributes new items that food stamps will not buy such as personal hygiene products, cleaning supplies, and paper products.

Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model

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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
