Overview
Mission
Charitable
What it reported doing in 2025
All expenses are used to provide a variety of services to the elderly, including rides for medical and personal reasons, advocacy, gift cards, food, home chores, lawn care, snow shoveling, shopping services, phone and home visits, information, referrals, and other support services. We served 314 clients in 2025.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration and liabilities are high compared with assets.
