Overview

Mission

Help families and individuals in need in the county

What it reported doing in 2024

The resource center provides free new and gently used school approved uniforms. Each year before school starts we purchase new uniforms. Our partner schools provide families in need a compassion uniform voucher. Partner schools include corsicana isd, headstart, two dimension academy, and james l. Collins catholic school. Each student receives two tops and two bottoms of their choice. We accept uniform donations for new or gently used school approved uniforms, sweaters, and jackets.

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 81% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
