Overview

Mission

To provide support for individuals, families, seniors, and people living with disabilities with the resources needed to overcome the disparities caused by food insecurity.

What it reported doing in 2025

Faces expanded its community service by partnering with other community based organizations and the alameda county food bank to distribute healthy staple foods, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables to families, individuals, seniors, and people living with disabilities. We used community based outreach to make it easier for community members to have access to services and resources that eliminate food insecurity; reduce diet-related diseases and respond to health disparities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
