Overview

Mission

Feeding area children together (fact) is reducing childhood hunger in central Minnesota by providing essential food support to students and their families. Fact strives to uplift our school communities by ensuring that every student has the opportunity to overcome food insecurity and thrive academically, emotionally, and socially. Fact is dedicated to accomplishing this mission by mobilizing volunteers and through the generosity of community partners.

What it reported doing in 2024

Fact packs serve breakfast, lunch, and snacks for every day school is not in session. Break boxes serve students a variety of food, including items like fresh produce, for breaks that are one week or longer. The food pantries are used for crisis management, when a child or family has an immediate food need.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
