Overview

Mission

Our mission is designed to create community interaction and awareness of sustainable and responsible living solutions, including the operation of thrift stores.

What it reported doing in 2025

Operating a thrift store as part of the "reuse" initiative of the sustainability program

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

SUPPORTED - 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.
