Overview
Mission
Crescent city family services is dedicated to providing nutrition services, referrals, and education to women, babies, and families, with serious attention to high-risk individuals and families. Our prevention and intervention programs respond directly to community needs, reflected in high infant and maternal mortality and morbidity concerns in jefferson parish and across the state of Louisiana. We see ourselves as much an organization as a movement and will engage in behaviors consistent with this perspective.
What it reported doing in 2025
Women, infant and children (wic) supplemental foods, health care referral, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to the age of five who are found to be at nutritional risk.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 89% 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.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
