Overview

Mission

Our mission is to share the love of god by assisting individuals and families of the fairview community who are experiencing financial hardship.

What it reported doing in 2025

Food: provided food for over 6800 individual visits during the year with children accounting for more than 27% of the total. Partnered with the local elementary school for a food drive. Offered a special kids section with extra food available during summer months.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 91% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and a relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
