Mission

To provide a christ centered ministry of shelter, assistance and acceptance to the homeless in the area.

What it reported doing in 2024

Provide shelter and guidance, emergency aid, individual and family living quarters, hot meal preparation and clothing to homeless.

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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
