Mission

Support and various other services. The fairfield county council appoints the members of the council's board of directors, which is the council's governing authority.

What it reported doing in 2024

The agency provides meals to older adults in fairfield county through a home delivered meals program and a congregate meal program. Congregate meals are served each weekday through winnsboro senior center to older adults that have increased nutritional and socialization needs. Home delivered meals are provided to older adults that are considered homebound or have limited abilities to prepare or provide meals for themselves.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 89% 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 total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and expenses are high relative to revenue.
