Overview

Mission

The Faith Alliance is a collaboration with local churches and volunteers. Our mission statement is: Alleviate local poverty; Demonstrate Christian Love. We run three primary programs for underserved youth within the West Chester/Liberty Ohio area; Summer Lunch, Summer Literacy and After School Literacy. In addition, we coordinate the activities of local churches to support food drives, a school supplies program, support Community Supper programs and Christmas toy programs at local churches.

What it reported doing in 2025

Annual program activities: * 17 church & community partners collected 14,776 pounds of food and $900 for 11 area food pantries in the Feed Our Neighbors Campaign. * 16 church partners collected school supplies and backpacks to support 329 local Lakota School District students in the Summer Backpack Ministry. * Church partners donated over 1,000 pairs of new and used shoes in support of the Walk with Christ Shoe Drive. * Faith Alliance Board and church partners provided over 2,250 meals in Community Supper and Stepping Forward weekly meal distribution service.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 93% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
